🔍Investigating, testing and documenting Caustic

The Caustic 3 Archive is an ongoing preservation and research project.
This section documents investigations into Caustic's software, file formats, presets, songs and other surviving material.
Research is based on preserved files, historical sources, technical analysis and reproducible testing.

Evidence over assumption.

Where something cannot yet be established, the uncertainty is documented rather than hidden.
