heard in the audio signal.

This is similar to Synchronize Config, but also upgrades the internal data of the DDRC-88D. This
option may appear after downloading and installed an updated version of the
plugin.

applies only to data that can be adjusted in the DDRC-88BM plugin

After restoring, the plugin is online.
