How does HCM-synthesis work?

The award-winning HCM-synthesis is not just a marketing buzzword. It is a synthesis that is exclusive to Gladiator and not available from any other company.

Our engineers analyzed how the spectra of natural instruments, voices, and synthesized sounds evolve dynamically. For each sound, they created 256 temporal spectral snapshots. As time passes, these snapshots change dynamically. These spectra can be morphed, looped, and manipulated in a wide variety of ways. In addition, the harmonic content can be modified with 10 modules and 132 different algorithms to change the sound. The sum of all this results in a virtually unlimited number of different sounds.

A powerful randomization function allows you to create an unlimited number of musically useful and unheard-of sounds with a single mouse click!
