Sure!

These features might be in with the next update:

- drag & drop modulation
- new knobs
- support for more wav file formats
- higher sound quality if you run it in 44 Khz samplerate

Our sounddesigners are also working on new soundsets. It might be one for orchestral/cinematic and one for trap.

hello,

Perhaps there is an option to make a section where you can control all 4 volume knobs at once to make tweaking more easy?
Is there an option to make knobs reset when you double click on them?

Kind regards

Hello Soarcy,

This feature is already included. You can edit multiple layers simuntaniously with copy->"Multilayer edit"

The Volume knob in the top middle of the GUI acts as a Master Volume. It affects all 4 layers.

You can reset knobs with Strg/Ctrl + left mouse button.

Best Regards,
Markus

Hello Markus,
It is possible, that layers started in series?
For example:
play one layer, after two or three layer, and initially.
 
Then alow use 4 arpegiators as 64 pattern sequencer and many possibilities for modulation and new cool sounds.

Hello Alex,

yes this is possible.

- Go to the Arpeggiator section
- Switch 'Off' to 'Chordgate'(to play a chord) or Up (play in upward order)
- Change all '8' to '.' (no Note is triggered), except in the 3rd slot
- On the 14th slot switch the '8' to 'E'

When you now hit a key the Arpeggiator will start playing. No notes are triggered. After 3 slots it will play the voice with a delay.

You can find a decription of the Arpeggiator commands on page 50 of the handbook. You can open the handbook by clicking on the HELP button.

Have a nice weekend,
Markus

Hello Markus!
Do you can create routing audio signal in layers?
For example layer 1 in layer 2, layer 2 in 3 and next...
It can be for new beautiful complex sounds.
Export custom waves.

This is my first post to the forum and I really like the Electra 2.  Here are some features I would like though.  The Browser is rather simple and it would benefit using features in Synthmaster 2.9 (KVR331) with the ability to add comments and show characteristic info for user presets.  These seem to be absent from the present browser.   There is no search option either.   

It would be nice if directories could be remembered as well.  If I load a waveform into an oscillator and then want to save a patch I have to find the directory again (Using Windows 10 OS).  Then again to get a new waveform.

I also would like to be able to set the default preset, I don't need to be welcomed every time I open the synth.

I can't read every post so some of these my have be suggested previously, looking forward to the new 2.9.6 version.

This is possible with all Electra2 versions:

1) Create, Init or load a patch of your choice
2) Click FILE->'Save patch as...'
3) Go to the directory 'ArpMultiLayer'
4) Overwrite 0Welcome.fxp

Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
I've been playing with the Electra 2.6 beta and it seems to work well.  However, I find the transgate to be a bit limited.  I tried to produce the lead sound in Sandstorm (by Darude) using the Transgate.   The speed of the transgate is either too slow or two fast so a variable speed would be good. Also a pulse count that would do a series of beats then stop and restart with a key press would also be good (with an off function).  The Arp can sort of do this but doesn't sound the same.

Hi Babble,

i built this patch for you. I sent it by email.


How to build a custom Trancegate in Electra:

In the STEP Lfo Section:

- Open the STEP Lfo and build your desired shape like -__-__-_-__-__-_
- Select a 'Soft' shape
- Set Tempo to '1 BPM'
- Optionally you can set the STEP Lfo to 'Song' sync instead of 'Trigger'. This way it behaves like a global and free running trancegate.

In the SETTINGS Section:

- Set Volume to 0 

In the MATRIX Section:

- Select 'Step Lfo' as modulation source
- Select 'Volume' as modulation destination
- Set the send level to 100

Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus, I'm loving Electra2 2.6! The new filters sound really nice, especially. I'm still having the issue where the mousewheel does not work properly. I'm using Cubase 9.5.20 and Windows 10. Every other plugin I have does not have the issue with the jumping mousewheel values. For some reason, it will only change values when moving the mousewheel really quickly, and it will usually jump in large values. So, it's not really usable.

My feature request, though, is more mod matrix slots. There is space on the GUI for two more tabs... why not give us 20 slots? That would be amazing! I love making really complex patches with a single synth and lots of modulations and cross-modulations.

I also really like many of the new 2.6 sounds! It's great to hear some more sounds suitable for some more underground genres and not so much the same kind of trance & EDM sounds. A wide palette is great!!

Implement preset change on the patch browser via computer up/down keys would be great instead of using the mouse!

Requested: SOLO button for the layers
Quote
"kannst du vielleicht SOLO-schalter programmieren, sodass man schneller einen einzelnen layer vorhören könnte?

vielleicht kleine "S" für Solo Schalter neben den ON-buttons platzieren. und immer wenn man einen layer auf solo schaltet stellen sich alle andern layer automatisch aus. so könnte man schnell(er) durch die layer steppen."

Hi Markus,

Electra2 v2.7 is really great !

My suggestions are for a Electra 3, which will hopefully come sooner or later !

-Loading a preset as Layer in a Layer-Slot via browser
-at least one more effect slot (so 2 per Layer and maybe 2 for all 4 layers)
-loading of real wavetables (with a lenght of 2024 samples per single cycle and a maximum of 256 single cycles
-more Modulation-Slot

-realtime timestreching and pitchshifting (modulation via keytrack positiv and negativ, or LFOs etc.)
  an example for this is CronoX4 (but it is discontinued and no more developed and sold)
