• Product: AD055 Quanta 2
• Model: 2.0.13

The newest model of Audio Damage’s granular synth goes heavy on new options and enhancements – right here’s what’s new in Quanta 2.

NEW IN VERSION 2

New Consumer Interface
The person interface has been cleaned up, modernized, and given panels for readability and to accommodate new controls.

Modulation Task Reworked
We have now changed the matrix mod assign panel with a right-click context menu like these present in Continua and Phosphor 3. As well as, the controls now have indicators to point out modulation.

Extra VA Oscillator
Quanta 2 has two digital analog oscillators as a substitute of the only one within the unique. Use one for a sub bass, ship each to the grain engine, granularize one and go away the opposite regular — no matter floats your boat!

Root Observe Detection And Task
If you drop a pattern on Quanta 2, or load it by way of the import dialogue, Quanta 2 makes an attempt to seek out the basis observe of the pattern. (This clearly works higher on legato single notes than it does on chords or full music loops.) After the import, you possibly can modify the basis observe to style.

Grain Pitch Quantization
You possibly can optionally restrict grain pitches to specific notes. This quantizing is post-modulation, so any randomization or mod utilized to grain tuning will probably be quantized to the size of your selecting. Quantizing respects the tuning desk or MTS-ESP tuning as nicely.

Results
Quanta now has a refrain, stereo twin delay, and reverb taken from the Audio Damage library of studio results.

New Modulation Options
The envelope mills and LFOs have been extensively improved. The FEGs choose up amplitude and time scale knobs, and the FLFOs get amplitude management, switchable bipolar output, and a sync change which causes FLFO 2 to reset every time FLFO 1 restarts. As well as, 4 Macro knobs have been added to the modulation panel, and these can obtain a worldwide MIDI CC project, thus permitting you to regulate the macros from the MIDI controller of your selection, it doesn’t matter what the writer of the preset selected.

Quanta 1 Preset Loading
Quanta 2 incorporates each preset from Quanta 1, and each post-release pack we’ve got commissioned, in addition to new preset packs from Purple Means Recording and Purple Sky Lullaby, and created in home. As well as, Quanta 2 will load any preset created for Quanta 1. If in case you have made presets for Quanta 1, simply drag the folder in to the Quanta 2 preset person folder, and they’re going to seem in Quanta 2 able to go to work.

FEATURES

• Multi-Format Pattern Loader
  Quanta 2 can load AIFF, WAV, Broadcast WAV, FLAC, MP3, and Ogg in any pattern charge, bit depth, and channel configuration. It routinely converts the pattern to the session’s pattern charge, and makes an attempt to seek out the basis observe.
• Grain Engine
  As much as 100 simultaneous grains per voice, of as much as 1 second lengthy, with management over grain charge, pitch, route, form, size, panning, supply place, and stage.
• Two Digital Analog Oscillators
  Constantly variable wave form, with pulse width modulation, and unbiased management over pitch (separate from grain engine.) Could be injected straight into grain engine.
• Noise Supply
  Noise supply contains a “coloration” management that impacts tonal traits of the noise. Could be injected straight into grain engine.
• Twin Multi-Mode Filters
  Filters can be utilized in serial or parallel modes, and embrace lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch in 2-pole and 4-pole configurations.
• Versatile Envelope Generator (FEG) x 4
  The 4 FEGs are arbitrary operate mills, with as much as 99 steps, curve and step stage management, arbitrary loop factors, and host tempo sync.
• Versatile Low-Frequency Oscillator (FLFO) x 2
  The pair of bipolar FLFOs make the most of 5 controls (amplitude, part, form, skew, and warp) to entry a nearly limitless palette of waveforms, and have host tempo sync and retrigger.
• Pattern And Maintain
  The S&H mod supply can pattern noise (random) or any of the opposite mod sources, at both a user-defined charge or a musical division.
• Modulation Menu
  Each mod and MIDI supply could be simply and easily assigned to any vacation spot with the right-click context menu. Excellent click on, and add and take away all mod sources.
• Microtuning With Tuning Tables And World Tuning Offset
  Re-tune Quanta 2 to new intonations and temperaments with native help for ODDSound’s MTS-ESP session-wide tuning system. Alternatively, load tuning tables within the open-source and easy-to-use TUN file format. A world tuning offset (default to A=440) permits you to simply retune the whole synth to match a unique A frequency with out utilizing a tuning desk.
• MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression)
  Quanta 2 understands each “legacy” MIDI and MPE. Use your Linnstrument, Roli Seaboard, Haken Continuum, or Madrona Labs Soundplane (amongst others) to straight entry per-note strain, pitch bend, and modulation.
• Per-Occasion Settings
  Quanta 2 makes use of a per-instance customization technique: set MPE mode, aftertouch smoothing, pitch bend vary override, tuning desk, and world tuning offset for every occasion in your DAW.
• Manufacturing unit Presets
  Quanta 2 comes with a considerable assortment of manufacturing facility content material, together with Designer Presets from Marcus Fisher, Joseph Fraioli, Chris Carter, Purple. Means Recording, Purple Sky Lullaby, and Richard Devine.
• Cross-Platform Preset Format
  Quanta 2utilizes an XML-based preset supervisor, and shops the pattern throughout the preset for simple asset administration. Work between a number of programs with out troubles, and simply share your creations with your folks, or make a preset bundle to promote, no asset administration required.
• Totally Resizable Hello-Dpi/Retina GUI
  Quanta 2’s vector-based GUI is resolution-agnostic, and shows the identical on each system and backbone. Simply resize the UI (per occasion) to match your visible wants, from postage stamp to poster-sized, and save your most well-liked measurement within the world settings.
