Modulation and Patching in Subvert 2

Subvert 2 is built around a modulation system. Key parameters can be moved with envelope followers, LFOs, mod mixers and macros. The mod mixers combine modulation signals, so you can build more complex shapes at their output.

The LFOs offer 15 wave shapes, and the macro controllers give you extra control over a patch. Four audio mixers let you combine and blend signals inside the modular patching system.

Dynamics, Noise and Feedback

The new dynamics modules include gate and compressor modes, giving more control over effects patches. A noise generator and an output feedback path add further options for sound design.

The revised preset system can store banks, and the scalable user interface can be adjusted to suit your screen.
