Carbon Electra 2 Upgrade from Carbon Electra is an upgrade plugin from Scaler Music for existing owners of Carbon Electra. It adds a scale-aware synth with Waveterrain oscillators, a key-aware sequencer and musical filters.
Carbon Electra 2 Upgrade is aimed at people who already own Carbon Electra and want its newer tools. The developer describes the synth as built around harmony and musicality, with oscillators, filters and sequencing that can respond to the scale you select. The upgrade sits in the Instruments category under Synth and is offered in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.
Scale Lock links the synth engine to a chosen scale. With it enabled, oscillators can lock to scale degrees rather than only standard pitch values, and Filter 2's cutoff can emphasize notes of the scale.
The Waveterrain oscillator mode generates a 3D surface that a 2D harmonic curve moves across, changing the waveform over time. Classic wavetable and analogue waveforms are included alongside it, and the oscillators support FM, hard sync and unison.
The note and chord sequencer follows the selected key. Chord mode allows diatonic chord programming with extensions and inversions, while chromatic mode remains available for free writing.
A separate multi-shape step sequencer can run independently and be assigned to multiple parameters. Three LFOs and two envelopes feed a drag-and-drop modulation system, and the built-in effects stack of delay, distortion, chorus, EQ and reverb can be reordered and modulated.
