Version: 1.0.1:

[Aliasing at Lower Sample Rates]
- Previous version had pronounced aliasing when sample rate was reduced.
- This was due to sample rate reduction happening post-convolution (emulating S-950 EQ curve).
- Resulted in aliasing frequencies being managed differently than the original sound, introducing pronounced high frequencies.

[Convolution Process Update]
- Convolution, which mimics the S-950 EQ curve, is now the final process before output.
- Both aliasing and original sound are now filtered cohesively, leading to a truer emulation.

[Previous Version Availability]
- Original version remains available for download.
- Its distinct coloration may be preferred in certain contexts.

[Upcoming Features & Improvements]
- Better saturation stage.
- Improved gain compensation: Current version is optimal at clipping levels; enhancements will offer broader flexibility.
- Enhanced aliasing control for refined sound management.
