Now available: Gladiator 4.2 Update

Tone2 has released a new update for its award-winning synthesizer Gladiator. Used in countless professional productions worldwide, Gladiator is renowned for its innovative HCM synthesis technology and distinctive sound design capabilities.

The update to version 4.2 is free for all Gladiator 4 users. 

Gladiator 4.2 Highlights:

New additive synthesis modes for Unison Mode:

• Additive partials' stacks 4 disharmonic 'organ' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.
• 'Additive bell' stacks 4 disharmonic 'bell' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.

New additive synthesis modes for the Phase Mod Spectrum:

• 'Tune partials +' detunes the higher partials of a spectrum without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'. 
• 'Tune partials -' detunes the partials in reverse direction. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.
• 'Splash tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.
• 'Fluppy tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.
• 'Crackles' creates random phase garbage.

Enhanced Sound Quality:

• New Ultra High-End quality mode featuring double-precision oscillator processing and 4x oversampling.
• Improved FFT accuracy for more precise waveform resampling.
• Upgraded reverb algorithms with smoother rolloff and increased detail:
• Optimized CPU-saving behavior prevents reverb tails from being cut off.
• Refined Silky Chords microtuning mode.
• More accurate 64-bit psychoacoustic post-processing.
• Enhanced 64-bit EQ calculations.

Additional Improvements:

• Faster display animations.
• More precise layout for selected controls.
• Fixed an issue where incorrect parameters could be displayed after closing the patch browser.
