* What's New in Emulator X2
   - SynthSwipe
     SynthSwipe is a sampling tool that will automatically sample and
     create playable presets from any hardware or software MIDI instrument.
     Simply set the initial sampling parameters (i.e. key range, how many
     notes, how many velocities per note, velocity range) and SynthSwipe
     does the rest with the utmost precision. SynthSwipe is an invaluable
     tool for sound designers and anyone who wants to bring their old synth
     and sound module soundsets into the computer.
   - TwistaLoop
     TwistaLoop is a tool that automatically analyzes any audio by
     dissecting it into its rhythmic components, allows the editing of this
     audio with multiple loop points and regions, and offers total control
     over tempo with real-time audio time expansion/compression - all with
     E-MU's patented pitch interpolation for unmatched audio fidelity.
   - Morph Filter Designer
     The Morph Filter Designer provides users with filter creation tools
     that E-MU's sound designers have been using for years to create the
     legendary morphing Z-Plane filters. The Morph Filter Designer now
     allows the construction of all-new exotic filter types that can be
     morphed from one type to another in real-time.
   - Multi-Function Generator
     The Multi-Function Generator offers advanced LFO/envelope/arpeggiator
     programming, providing three function generators per voice that are
     directly tied into Emulator X2's powerful synthesis architecture (over
     100 parameters). These Function Generators have several key sync and
     direction modes that enable complex levels of control, and can be
     programmed to modulate pitch, filters, volume, retrigger samples or
     LFO's, change tempo or trigger other events.
   - Transform Multiply
     Transform Multiply is a convolution DSP tool that creates new sounds
     by combining the timbral and time elements of two signals in a way
     that reinforces frequencies common to both sources and discards
     frequencies not present in both. This powerful tool is applicable to
     everything from adding a custom reverb (by adding a reverb impulse to
     another sound) to full blown voice articulation of musical instruments
     (combining speech with an instrument).
