thereby switch sounds within a split second), the Plugiator has to load a new software pro-
gram onto the DSP. It therefore may take 1-3 seconds to engage a new plug-in on your
Plugiator hardware. Keep in mind that the Plugiator does not rely on playback of sampled
sounds but emulates real synthesizers via software technology.
