Concept 2 - In Detail
New Granular Oscillator
Concept 2 includes a new granular oscillator that allows you to use any audio file as a source, slicing them into tiny segments and opening up whole new worlds for sound designers. Create pads, basses, dense atmospheres, drops and hits, as well as room tones and ambiences, all within the simple yet powerful interface
Responding to user feedback, a new Advanced Shape modulator has been added to Concept 2. This goes way beyond traditional LFOs and Envelopes, allowing the user to design their own shapes with custom breakpoints and curves, to be used as an LFO or envelope to control any parameter in the plugin. Concept 2’s modulation system is semi-modular, and you can combine the multiple instances of Advanced Shape with any other collection of modulators for one of the simplest, most powerful modulation workflows in the synth world.
Hundreds of Presets Included
Concept 2 has over 700 presets, with a wide range of genres and styles, including presets for cinematic and game audio projects.
Impulse Responses
Krotos has expanded the range of Impulse Responses (IRs) to over 160, for you to use in designing your sounds. You can also drag and drop your own IR’s into the waveform view within the Convolution Reverb.
Workflow Improvements
A ‘user folder’ has been added to both menus in the granular oscillator and convolution reverb, allowing you to can store, browse and use your favourite sounds. The best optimisation techniques have been applied to Concept 2, and the reduced CPU load offers the ability to include more instances.
