New in version 5.0:

* Version 5 release, upgrade requires a new license. It is fully backwards-compatible, sound-wise.
* Implemented the new "EL-5" limiter algorithm.
* Updated the noise generator to the latest PRVHASH 4.3.
* Added the "Panel border" palette modifier.
* Updated all palettes, to reduce "border" contrast. An existing palette may need to bereloaded for the change to be visible.
* Improved overall graphics drawing performance.
* Improved knob's renderings.
* By frequent user request, the "Solo" switch's state is now saved together with the preset (a part of the routing parameters). While this opens up a possibility of leaving the "Solo" switch enabled and forgotten, this provides more flexibility, e.g. when mid/side processing is used.

The “EL-5” algorithm introduced in Elephant version 5 takes the best from “EL-4” and classic “AIGC” algorithms. The “EL-5” is not as loud and “hard” as the “EL-4” algorithm, but it is much more precise than “AIGC” algorithms while offering an alike smooth sound. This algorithm better retains dynamical structure of the program material while at the same time adds a unique “sparkling and fresh mojo” to the resulting sound. This algorithm is responsive to the “Timing” and “Rls/Atk Ratio” parameters that can be adjusted to further tune the algorithm.

Note that the upgraded version can be demoed without losing previous version's authorization: simply install the new version over an existing version. If the new version does not "click", you may reinstall a previous version back, in-place.

Elephant version 5 is a free upgrade to Premium Membership owners. Owners of previous Elephant versions can upgrade the license to version 5 for US$49.95. The upgrade is free if a previous version was purchased in the recent 180 days. Demo version of Voxengo Elephant can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site.
