Several users have requested an improved downward and cross-version compatibility for home-made patches.
Our sound designers have requested that the additional effects should be also available for the next expansion's sound design, to provide a larger sonic range and a more inspiring framework. That's why some effects are available in both expansions.
Both expansions include a large number of features which are exclusive.
You can find more details about the features here:
