The only Synth You Need
to Create a Hit!

TONE2 ELECTRA3® is a powerful synthesizer workstation. There are good reasons why it is the preferred choice of many professional music producers:
Not only does it offer better sound quality and lower CPU usage than the competition, but it is also a lot of fun to work with! This inspiring synthesizer is capable of creating impressive, layered sequences with a single keystroke! The synthesizer comes with excellent factory sounds. It ships with 1,439 unique patches, including many signature sounds that you can use in your productions right out of the box. A convenient patch browser lets you select sounds quickly and easily. The intuitive interface makes it easy for beginners to create their own sounds, but experts can still take their sound design as far as they want.
Producing a hit has never been easier!


Multi-layer = power4

Playing with Electra3 is a lot of fun because the multi-layer architecture allows you to create impressive tracks just by pressing a single key. "Multi-layer architecture" means that you have access to four synthesizers at the same time and all within one interface. Each of the four layers is as an independent, full-featured multitimbral synthesizer consisting of up to 108 oscillators, dual multi-mode filters, a flexible modulation system, an effects section and its own arpeggiator. 

Together with this and the 15 different types of synthesis available, it's guaranteed that your sound design possibilities are virtually endless.
You can edit your sounds layer-by-layer, or edit multiple layers simultaneously. Separate synthesizer layers can be saved and loaded, allowing you to simply grab a layer you like from a patch and load it into another patch.
You can combine different layers, mix different types of synthesis, use keyboard splits and use different play modes like Poly, Mono, Legato or Glide per synth layer. Most of the patches that come with Electra3 already use multiple layers so mixing and merging your favorite patches into a new multi-layer sound is extremely simple.


Samples have never been so easy to use

Electra3's sample capabilities go far beyond normal playback. Load and manipulate your samples in ways that are impossible with other synths or samplers. Samples can be automatically tuned when loaded. Electra3 makes sure that your samples always play back at the highest quality possible. Play back samples in single or loop mode. Use the loop markers to set your own loop points. An easy to use auto-loop function allows click-free loops with no hassle. The sample engine offers an edit menu with a wide selection of sample edit options, as well as no less than 24 effects to further process your samples. Special Quick-import-sample- and Quick-vocoder menu options are provided to guide you through setting up a sample or vocoder patch. Just follow the on-screen directions and Electra3 will do all the work for you.
Your custom sample content is stored automatically with your songs or as a compact and compatible fxp file. You won't need to deal with broken songs, missing files or managing huge archives as in conventional samplers. With a higher sound quality than competing products, using samples together with synthesis has never been this easy: import your own samples, edit & process them where needed, and play.


Oscillators and Synthesis

With an incredible selection of 15 different types of synthesis, Tone2 Electra truly is the “Swiss Army Knife of synthesis methods” (Beat Magazine). Its versatile synthesis engine can easily replace a studio filled with hardware.
The synthesis types range from traditional ones such as the classic Virtual Analog, Wavetable, Subtractive, Samples, Phase Distortion and FM synthesis, up to Physical Modeling, Ultra-saw, Vocoder, Sync, Ringmod, PWM, Noise, Wave-shaping and Tone2's exclusive Fractal synthesis.
Each synthesis type was designed with the utmost attention to sound quality, musical potential and low CPU usage. They offer enormous scope for sound-creation, being limited only by your own imagination. Let your creativity run wild! You can mix different types of synthesis within single or multiple layers, import samples, re-synthesize a waveform or use a vocoder on one of the layers. You can literally build any sound imaginable and open up whole new worlds of sonic capabilities in innovative and inspiring ways.


Filters

Electra3 contains two multi-mode filters with 42 unique filter types, and includes three tone controls, as well as multi-mode distortions. The filter types range from traditional analog filters like Moog Low-pass, High-pass and Band-pass and digital ones like Vocal, Phaser, Aliaser and Fractal. Many of these filter types are exclusive to Tone2 and are not available in any other product. The filters are able to self-oscillate producing a wide range of timbres for further sculpting your sound to perfection. Most of the filter types use a special Analog control, which allows you to vary the amount of analog behavior applied by the filter. The filter section comes with two displays, which show the frequency response of the filter in real-time. This makes it easy to understand, how the filter affects the audio signal.
A dual distortion unit completes this section with 18 different modes, ranging from classic tube pre-amp distortions, to fuzz-box type distortion, self-sync and including wave-shaping.


Effects

A great deal of time, effort and skill was spent to ensure that Electra3 featured a suite of high-end quality FXs that perfectly sync to your track's BPM. No less than 64 different effect processors are available, ranging from reverb, delay, multi-tap, unison, trancegate, chorus, hypersaw, flanger, phaser, vocoder, tremolo, punch, lo-fi, surround encode, transient shaper, rotary, EQ, distortion, amp simulation and compressor. A unique 'Reverb Infinity' effect is also included, which allows you to have an endless reverb signal. Both a master effect and four insert effects are provided to offer a wide variety of choices.
Electra3 also offers automatic micro-tuning. It is available exclusively from Tone2 and makes your chords sound more fat, harmonic and clean at the same time.
Psycho-acoustic features like loudness and transient-shaper are also included. They give your sounds the final polish and make your tracks sound punchy and transparent.


Modulation

Electra3 features an extensive modulation section for each of its layers. By using drag & drop or the matrix, Electra3 allows you to modulate almost any parameter with audio-rate speed. Modulation is done using fast and punchy-sounding envelopes, high quality LFOs which can be synchronized to your track's BPM, as well as a step-LFO or Gate which can be used to create rhythmic sequences or custom wave-shapes. LFOs and envelopes each use a real-time display to make it easy to see your changes and get an instant overview of which settings are used. Using the modulation matrix you can further enhance your sound. Modulation can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. Electra3's modulation system can provide any modulation routing you need to create the perfect sound.


Arpeggiator

The arpeggiator section offers an extended, yet hands-on way to both create and play arpeggios. Smart algorithms create melodies that are more musically useful than those offered by conventional arpeggiators. Best of all, by using Electra3's multi-layers you can even have four arpeggiators at the same time. Together with a host of editing features this allows you to create sequences as simple or as complex as you want. The arpeggiator also supports advanced features such as chords, auto-accompaniment, pitch-slides, legato, swing and matrix-integration. Working with the arpeggiator is simple, just select your notes as you normally would and set the play direction.
