Electra 2 Synthesizer

Electra2 breathes new life into the term Synthesizer Workstation. It is equipped with a high-end quality sound engine, multilayer support and a wide range of music production features, but its chief design consideration from its inception is the idea of putting you in complete control. Its friendly hands-on interface allows first-timers to easily create sounds, and experts to delve into sound design as deeply as they want to. And with Tone2's high quality sound technology at its core, you're not only working with a greater palette for creating original sounds, but also the best sound quality possible with a lower CPU usage than any other type of workstation or synthesizer.

Electra2 comes with an astounding sound collection of over 1200 production-ready sounds by professional sound designers. A comfortable patch browser is provided to give you an instant overview of all the available categories and sounds, together with an on-screen keyboard to audition them from within the patch browser.

Multilayering with Elektra
The multilayer architecture allows you to create impressive tracks just by pressing a single key. “Multilayer architecture” means that you have access to four synthesizers at the same time and all within one comfortable interface. Each of the four layers works as an independent, full-featured multitimbral synthesizer consisting of up to 54 oscillators, dual multi-mode filters, a flexible modulation system, an effects section and its own arpeggiator. With this and the 14 different types of synthesis available, it's guaranteed your sound design possibilities are virtually endless.

You can edit your sounds layer by layer, or edit multiple layers simultaneously. Separate synthesizer layers can be saved and loaded, which allows you to simply grab a layer you like from a patch and load it back into another patch. Combine different layers, mix different types of synthesis, use keyboard splits and use different play modes like Poly, Mono, Legato or Glide per synth layer. Most of the patches that come with Electra2 already use multiple layers so mixing and merging your favorite patches into a new multilayer sound is extremely simple.

Samples
Load and manipulate your samples in ways that are impossible with other synths or samplers. If you want, samples can be automatically tuned when you load them. Electra2 makes sure that your samples are always played back in the highest quality possible. Play back samples in single, loop mode or use the loop markers to set your own loop points. A comfortable autoloop function allows click-free loops with no hassle. The sample engine offers an edit menu with a wide selection of sample edit options, as well as no less than 12 effects to further process your samples.

Your custom sample content is stored automatically with your songs or as a compact and compatible fxp file. That’s why you won’t have to deal with broken songs, missing files or managing huge archives as in conventional samplers. With a higher sound quality than competing products, using samples together with synthesis has never been this easy: import your own samples, edit and process them where needed, and play.
