Tone2 Audiosoftware has announced the release of Gladiator 2.3, a free update for the Gladiator 2 software synthesizer for Windows and Mac. Gladiator 2 gives you a groundbreaking approach to sound generation, while supporting an extensive list of synthesis methods including Tone2’s award winning.

Don’t expect much historical authenticity from this title, though – you’ll oddly see Tiger tanks used by the Soviet NKVD, MG-42s deployed like sub-machineguns and heavy tanks vulnerable to a single, well-aimed rifle shot. Free full sniper game downloads. Look past these ridiculous aspects and you’ll find a great tactical shooter that lends a lot of weight on stealth and precision.

Description: Tone2 – Gladiator 2 – a powerful virtual synthesizer deserving special attention. This tool, perhaps, is the best among tools of this size. Sint Tone2 has a new type of synthesis, allowing you to get a tight wide sound. Available HCM, FM, and AM distortion. There are a huge number of presets distributed in categories, containing a whole range of synthetic instruments and effects.

Its sound is very soft, warm and that is not unimportant – professional. Along with such monsters as Nexus, Atmosphere and other voluminous synthesizers, Tone2 Gladiator sounds just as juicy and serious.

However, in the new, latest version of the Gladiator 2 synthesizer, there are many visual settings that allow you to change the selected sound to unrecognizability. The synthesis method is HCM. Recommended, the version from all the beloved AiR. In conclusion, I want to say that this synthesizer is the most popular on our site, this tool is downloaded by you the greatest number of times. Features: – Huge sound range: unique analog warm, clear and bold sound.

– Low CPU usage. – Semi-modular composition: flexible and expandable. – More than 1000 presets.

– Decoding of full stereo and Dolby Prologic II. – Up to 18 oscillators per vote. 4x stereo unison.

– 110 different types of oscillators with 36865 waveforms. – 162-fold oversampling. – Psychoacoustic treatment. – 41 unique filters (analog, vocal, combined, type Moog, phaser, equalizer, etc.). – 20 different effects. – 7 types of distortion for obtaining a warm analog sound.

– Programmable arpeggiator, step-by-step LFO and trans-gate. Foster39s home for imaginary friends cheese. – Sync by tempo. – IQM for cleaner microtuning.
