What is Presence XT?

Presence XT is not just a ROMpler (Read-Only Memory synthesizer). It is a multi-timbral sampler that supports:

• Drag-and-drop sample mapping (WAV, AIFF, MP3).
• Multi-velocity layering (up to 32 layers per patch).
• Built-in DSP (Filters, LFOs, ADSR envelopes, and effects).
• Sound variation support for articulation switching.

The "XT" stands for Extended, meaning it replaced the original Presence with deeper editing capabilities.
