Field notes
The site describes a one-designer operation in Copenhagen and lays out four rules for its modelling process. It says neutral controls are bit-identical to bypass and cost no CPU, while inactive stages sleep; presets are tied to named sources and level-matched for comparison. The listed release supports Apple Silicon Macs only, at sample rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz.
