Extras: side-chain input for the dynamics processors, waveform display, resizable window, A/B and undo/redo.
Presets: 500+ factory presets.

When to use it

Use it when a single effect on the whole signal is too blunt, for example a reverb only on the attack of a snare or a chorus only on the sustain of a guitar. Most multi-effects apply everything to the full signal; Physion lets you treat hits and sustain separately.

Best for: drums, percussion, plucked and picked instruments, and sound design.
Related: it uses the same Structural Split idea as Eventide's SplitEQ and Sheen Machine, which apply it to EQ and top-end lift.
