03In depth

Modular Routing and Modulation

Subvert 2 is built around flexible routing. Mixers, envelope followers, LFOs and macro controllers can be patched together to modulate key parameters of the core effects.

Mod mixers combine modulation signals, so you can build more complex modulation shapes at their output. The new LFOs offer 15 wave shapes, and the new macros provide extra control over a patch.

Four audio mixers let you combine and blend signals, while the added noise generator and output feedback path open new creative options.

Dynamics, Presets and Interface

The new dynamics modules offer gate and compressor modes, giving more control over effects patches.

Version 2 includes 100 factory presets that show the range of the processor, along with a revised preset system that can store banks. The user interface has been redesigned and can be scaled.
