E-MU PowerFX

E-MU PowerFX

The hardware-accelerated effects of the E-MU Digital Audio System can also be used as VST inserts in Cubase LE. E-MU PowerFX allow you to use PatchMix DSP effects from within Cubase LE with minimal load on your CPU.

E-MU PowerFX incorporate smart time alignment technology which automatically compensates for system latencies and ensures proper synchronization of audio throughout the VST chain (if the host application supports this feature).
