The Duende platform was originally launched in 2005 as a hardware-assisted system using SHARC-based DSP chips to process audio outside the computer's CPU. By 2011, as computer processing power increased, SSL ported these algorithms to a "native" format. Version 3.6.6 was part of this era, providing users with the legendary "SSL Sound" directly within their DAW using standard VST, VST3, and RTAS Core Plug-ins in the Suite
