A Simply Powerful, Yet
Powerfully Simple Synth
Concept We designed Concept 2 for musicians, producers, composers, sound designers, post-production professionals who want to create sounds fast. Here are just some of the highlights of the benefits of creating sounds with Concept 2.
It’s All About the Sound
Preset Heaven
With tons of great-sounding presets from top artists, including Roni Size, Richard Devine, and Kayla Painter, there’s every chance you’ll find a sound that works right out of the box. Cinematic lush pads, organic soundscapes, stirring strings, killer bass synths, screaming leads and more.
Presets Are Just the Start
Presets are a great starting point, but Concept 2 gives you access to almost limitless routing parameters to shape the sound. Use multiple sound sources, or load your own samples into the granular engine and combine with conventional oscillators.
Sound Manipulation Done Right
Routing and controlling modulation is a breeze in Concept 2, it’s as easy as dragging and dropping the connections; the creative colour coding means you can see modulation sources at a glance.
An Effects Powerhouse
When it Comes to Effects, Concept 2 is No Slouch
With three slots and multiple effects, including; convolution reverb, delay and compressors, you can add even more dimension to your sound design. You can even filter stack and have multiple filters applied to the sound with multiple modulation sources applied.
