| Gladiator is a powerful synthesizer based on the concept of Advanced Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM) Synthesis. This new synthesis method is based on a large and expandable repertoire of standard waves like saw or pulse as well as complex waves like multi waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos, and voice samples. These waves can be modified in real-time by, for example, transposing the wave by one or two octaves and adding it to the original wave, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, compressing or expanding the frequency domain of the spectrum, making the wave fat using only one oscillator by transforming each wave into a supersaw, selecting some cycles of a sample and moving through them over time (comparable to wavetable synthesis), etc. Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds (note: with only one oscillator). In total there are more than 30000 different spectra available for combination and modulation. Synthesis Features: - Advanced HCM (new synthesis, unique sounds)
- FM
- AM
- PWM (can be applied on every waveform)
- Sync
- Phase modulation / PM
- Vocoder sounds (512 bands)
- Waveshaping
- Supersaw (can be applied on every waveform)
- Additive sounds (512 harmonics)
- Resynthesis sounds
- Phase distortion
- Sample playback
- Real stereo
- 18 oscillators per voice
- 74 different oscillator types with 30208 waveforms
- Additional user defined waveforms with modifiers
- Aliasfree / 162x oversampling (sample playback)
- Modular routing
Filters and effects: - 40 different filters in high-end quality (Analog, vocal, comb, elliptic, phaser, lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch, EQ, ...)
- 20 different effects in high-end quality
- 7 distortion types with warm, analog sound
- Programmable arpeggiator, step LFO and trancegate
- BPM syncable
- IQM for clearer chords (intelligent microtuning)
- 4x stereo unison
New in v1.2.2 - New feature: Shared memory support: Additional Gladiator instances need 30 MB less RAM. The memory usage of the first instance is now 89 MB, further instances need 59 MB. RAM is now deallocated instantly in all hosts.
- New feature: Additional routing destinations: EQ and FX parameters.
- New feature: Bank select support.
- Compatibility fix: Tweaked presets are now restored correctly after loading in all hosts.
- Compatibility fix: Acid did output mono sound.
- Changed: Program select can now access all presets.
- Changed: Various changes and fixes in glide mode and legato.
- Improved: Faster loading.
- Improved: Midi event handling.
- Improved: Labels for outputs.
- Fixed: Editor button could display wrong value after loading.
- Fixed: Mute button did not work properly on AM.
- Improved (Mac): Drastically improved performance.
- Fixed (Mac): Crash on saving presets when the user selected an empty directory.
- Fixed (Mac): Potential crash on exiting the plugin.
