Further, you can edit the loop points of loaded samples by simply dragging them around, and take advantage of a new set of offline processes - including Reverse, Trim, Cut, Maximize and Remove DC - and various distortions and lo-fi effects. With so many high-quality processing options available, though, the realisation that you're limited to a single insert effect per layer, plus a shared master effect, is something of a dampener.ĮlectraX was always able to import samples for playback, but Electra2 can automatically find loop points, tune sounds on import (or afterwards), and save samples with patches for easy recall. The reverbs are particularly impressive - so good, in fact, that they could easily alleviate the need for a separate reverb plugin most of the time. These include Smart Unison (a chorus), two phasers, two vibrato effects, two tremolo effects and five reverbs. Most of the effects carried over from ElectraX have been optimised for better performance and sound quality, while a dozen new modules have been introduced as well, bringing the total to 32.

Lastly, the new M Shape type combines band-pass and high-pass filters. LP AM combines a low-pass with a super fast ring modulator that can help add a crystalline, lo-fi crunch, while BP Boobs is a double band-pass filter that we suspect was just added on a whim when the programmers were feeling a bit bored and lonely.

'The reverbs are particularly impressive - so good, in fact, that they could easily alleviate the need for a separate reverb plugin most of the time' Similarly, the new Vocal AM filter type is useful for approximating those classic dubstep 'yoys'. The new Vocals 2 filter provides the typical vowel formant sounds that were popular in many forms of dance music a few years ago. Tone2's code optimisations mean that Electra2 can be expected to outperform ElectraX - indeed, this is a plugin that always feels very stable and robust.įive new filter types bring the total count up to 37. Full of filtersīack on the bright side, the Electra2 interface, while unchanged in layout, seems to load much faster and feels more responsive than that of ElectraX. This anomaly is often unnoticeable (depending on the patch) but could be a problem if you're relying on the synth to provide crisp detail in the highest treble ranges. We noticed something odd going on in the top end (around 15kHz and above), where some notes seem to be missing certain frequencies while others don't.
