Concept 2

Intuitive and Creative Soft-synth

Concept is an intuitive and creative soft-synth, that makes the process of creating your own patches fast and inspiring. Concept’s flexible synth engine will enable you to create everything from traditional synth sounds to more complex evolving textures and custom sound design elements.

A fresh approach to modulation allows any parameter to be mapped to one of four highly editable multi-mode modulators in the centre of Concept’s UI. Choose from a variety of flexible modulation options such as an Env/Pitch Follower, an X/Y Capture pad and the unique 'Tweak It' customisation system.

Concept also comes with an extensive selection of high-quality effects with a total of three simultaneous insert slots. A highlight of the effects suite is a mix ready convolution reverb that allows user IR files to be utilised to create unusual creative effects.

Overview

• Modulation System - Explore a new approach to modulation using drag-and-drop. Instantly identify your mappings with clear colour coding and animated visual feedback.

• Tweak It - Get inspired quickly using our controllable and assignable customisation system. Create variations of your patch with a single click, with results ranging from musical to complex.  

• X/Y Capture - Draw your modulation movements within an X/Y field. Capture patterns for any combination of parameters and sync the results to your projects tempo. Create unique sounds and melodies in an instant.

• FX Rack - Combine a range of ten high-quality effects, and drag-and-drop any parameter into the modulation system. An innovative convolution reverb is included allowing the use of custom impulse responses.

• Audio Input - Stimulate new ideas by performing and modulating with any input or instrument. Use elements from your mix to create dynamic rhythmical patches, or use the pitch follower to create exciting interactions with existing melodies.

Concept 2 Additional Features

• Granular Oscillator - Turn any audio into a sound source for your patches and open up endless possibilities for sound design.

• Advanced Shape Modulator - Create unique rhythmic modulations by drawing in your own waveforms and dragging and dropping any of Concepts parameters straight in for instant inspiration.  

• Concept 2 ships with over 700 additional presets covering a huge range of styles and genres. Use them as they are or tweak to create new sonic ideas in seconds.

• Improved Impulse Responses - Concept 2 has an improved convolution reverb effects module which comes with 120 additional IRs and allows you to import any sample to create your own.
