Notes: DISCONTINUED / LEGACY FLAG: not present on current aphex.com/products listing or the aphex.com/support legacy manuals list found during this research; Sweetwater/B&H listings confirm it is 'no longer available' at major dealers and now found mainly on the used market (Reverb/eBay). Included as a famous, historically important Aphex rack processor per task's explicit mention of 'Dominator', flagged clearly as discontinued/used-market-only at time of research (source='researched', not 'catalog'). Price not published; used-market prices seen but not used per USD-published-only rule.
