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 simulates non-linearities of old gear.

Soft Saturation: This distortion sounds like an old analogue tube.


Synthesis modules

The innovative ‘Waveshape2’ dynamic processor 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.
