01Overview

Babylon 2.2 Upgrade from Babylon 1 is aimed at owners of the original Babylon who want the newer version. W. A. Production says the update keeps the single-page layout of the first release while expanding its oscillators, wavetable tools, filters, effects and modulation. The developer describes the upgrade as a full revision of the synth rather than a minor patch, with a focus on multi-voice oscillators and morphing wavetables.

Oscillators, Wavetables and Tuning

The oscillators gain Multi and Quad modes, which go beyond standard stereo unison and detuning. Multi mode blends waveforms, and Quad mode enables live morphing between them.

The new wavetable editor lets you create and modify tables, and import your own WAV files. The update also adds options to auto-detect cycles, auto-map cycles to tables, transition parameters between tables, copy parameters to all tables and shift cycles.

For tuning, Babylon 2.2 offers scale and per-note microtonal options. Each note across 11 octaves can be tuned in cents, and the scale bank includes standard scales plus additional scales that use quarter tones.

Modulation, Arpeggiator and Factory Presets

The update adds an intelligent arpeggiator with a pattern generator and controls for population and complexity. The modulators are extended with additional envelope followers, two new key-track modulators and a curve editor for envelope modulators. The original LFO, vibrato and envelope modulators remain available.

The synth ships with 858 factory presets, catalogued in an onboard browser, and more than 200 high-resolution waveforms, including formant and digital instrument shapes. A full PDF manual and tutorial video are included.
