What's new in Gladiator 4.2?New additive synthesis modes for the 'UNISON MODE':- 'Additive partials' stacks 4 disharmonic 'organ' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.
- 'Additive bell' stacks 4 disharmonic 'bell' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.
New additive synthesis modes for the 'PHASE MOD' spectrum:- 'Tune partials +' detunes the higher partials of a spectrum without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.
- 'Tune partials -' detunes the partials in reverse direction. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.
- 'Splash tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.
- 'Fluppy tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.
- 'Crackles' creates random phase garbage.
Enhanced sound:- The new quality mode 'ultra high-end' calculates oscillators with double precision and 4x oversampling.
- The enhanced FFT precision results in more accurate resampling of waveforms.
- Replaced 'Reverb Large' with a much better unit. It has a smoother rolloff and more detail.
- Replaced 'Reverb Trance' with a much better unit. It has a smoother rolloff and more detail.
- Replaced 'Reverb Small' with a much better unit. It has a much smoother rolloff and more detail.
- Replaced 'Reverb Predelay' with a much better unit. It has a much smoother rolloff and more detail.
- The threshold for bypassing the FX processing for saving CPU is lower. Reverb tails do not longer get cut-off.
- The microtuning-mode 'silky chords' sounds more polished.
- The psychoacoustic postprocessing unit uses more precise coeficients and 64bit processing for calculations.
- The equalizer uses more precise coefficients and 64bit processing for calculations.
Enhanced graphics:- Much faster animations of the displays.
- More precise layout of some knobs.
Fixes:- After closing the patch browser incorrect parameters could be shown.
