How does HCM synthesis work?

The award-winning HCM synthesis is unique to Gladiator and offers exclusive technology not found anywhere else. Tone2 developers have developed 256 dynamic spectral snapshots for each sound, which can be morphed and manipulated in various ways. With 10 modules and 132 algorithms, you can change the harmonic content to create countless sounds. A powerful random function creates new, musically useful sounds with a single click. Gladiator supports up to 18 oscillators per voice, 4x stereo unison and delivers crystal clear sound quality.

• Sounds : Gladiator features an inspiring library of over 1200 outstanding presets from professional sound designers. A variety of extensions are available to extend Gladiator's features and preset library. All sounds are organized into categories to allow quick and easy access to the sound you want.

• Filters : The filter section is equipped with high-quality stereo filters. Many of them are exclusive to Tone2 products. Gladiator comes with 40 different filter types: Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, Vocals, Comb, EQ, FM, AM, Phaser, Re-sample, Analog, ...

• Effects : Gladiator offers an impressive range of stereo effects. 37 different FX are included, all carefully designed to offer the highest possible quality, such as reverbs, delays, flanger, phaser, chorus, ensemble, rotary, bitcrusher, talkbox, ringmod, Dolby Prologic II surround encoding, waveshaper, pingpong, filters and so on.

• Modulation : Gladiator features a powerful, easy-to-use and flexible modulation section. Four fast envelopes add punch to your sound. There are 22 different LFOs available that can be synced to the BPM rate of your track. The design of the Step LFO was inspired by step sequencers and can be used to create rhythmic sequences and trance gates.

• Psychoacoustic processing : A special post-processing module in Gladiator imitates the way the human ear works. It produces deeper bass and provides more transparency. The innovative phase modifier in the oscillator section is based on the latest findings in phonetics. It makes a digital waveform sound warm, silky or powerful. Gladiator offers several micro-tuning modes that make chords sound more harmonious, fatter and more transparent.
