Tone 2 have now released the Windows version of their Gladiator synth which was first announced in November and described by the company as a revolution in synthesis.
Here’s all the details directly from Tone 2…
Gladiator features new synthesis architecture called Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM), based on a large and expandable repertoire of standard waves like pulse and unique synthetic waveforms as well as resynthesis waves like trumpets, organs, pianos and voice samples. These waves can be modified in real-time by e.g. FM modulation, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, waveshaping... Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds. In total there are more than 30,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation. In one example you can take a Hammond organ, FM modulate the organ with a sawtooth, create a hypersaw and amplitude modulate this signal with a BPM synced vocoder drumline.
