+      The C* Audio Plugin Suite is a selection of classic effects,
+      unique filters and signal generators.  The digital guitarist
+      finds in CAPS a range of processors recreating key aspects of
+      the formation of tone in traditional electronic instrument
+      amplification.  Beyond sound quality, central design
+      considerations are latency-free realtime operation, modesty of
+      resource demands and meaningful control interfaces.
