Fresh from the team is Duendo V3, which effectively doubles the power of the Duendo plat<strong>for</strong>m with the new Hybrid Core Processing engine. The engine combines dedicated DSP per<strong>for</strong>mance with a computer’s CPU processing power. Additionally, the enhancement allows users to upgrade Duende Mini to 64 channels and Duende PCIe to 128 channels. This power increase has enabled the development of X-Verb, a ‘four slot’ plug-in based on unique SSL algorithms providing digital density, warmth, depth, and detail. The company claims that the plug-in is not a convolution reverb based on impulse responses, but a true reverberation generator.
