LP Voca1/ LP Voca2: Two non-linear filters with resonance which sounds similar to the human voice.

BP Moog: An analog modeled Moog bandpass with soft resonance.

EQ Wide: Soft sounding equalizer which attenuates a broad spectrum.

Allpass: A mystic filter that passes all frequencies but alters the phase of the signal.

Comb-: A comb filter which is useful for flanging or physical modeling sounds.
 

Distortion

Asymetric: This distortion simultes non-linearities of old gear. It sounds similar to certain famous products from competing companies...

Soft: This distortion sounds like an old analogue tube with soft saturation.


Synthesis modules

Waveshape2: This innovative dynamic processor is a new step of evolution in waveshaping synthesis. It offers an unique and clean sound and adds some kind of vocaloid character.
 

Effects

Trancegate: The impressive and easy to use stereo Trancegate effect adds 22 different rhythmic patterns to your sounds with a single mouse click. It automatically syncs with your song.

Reverb Ultra: Is a new high-quality reverb algorithm, which sounds very soft and diffuse. It especially suitable for larger rooms and sculpting the proper ambience.

3 Reflection types: The three different reflection types simulte the early reflections of small rooms, reverse echoes and gated reverbs.

Aliaser: This LoFi retro-effect that works by mirroring the signal's spectrum at the cutoff frequency. It drastically alters the sound or adds the mojo of old computer games from the 90s.

Stereo Enhance: Is a stereo width effect, which expands the stereo field, while keeping the bass intact.


Sounds

The 324 sounds for this expansion are a best-of-selection from more then 1000 sounds which were created by 8(!) professional sound designers: Markus Feil, Bastiaan van Noord, Bryan 'Xenos' Lee, Alusio de Lima, Dajan Izzo, Massimo Bosco, Marco Scherer and Patchen Preston.
