A revolution in synthesis!
Gladiator is one of the most powerful synthesizers ever. This is a tough statement, but you should read this...
What is Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM) Synthesis?
This new synthesis method is based on a large and expandable repertoire of standard waves like pulse, unique synthetic waveforms as well as resynthesis waves like trumpets, organs, pianos and voice samples. These waves can be modified in real-time by e.g. FM modulation, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, waveshaping,...
Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds (recall: with only one oscillator!). In total there are more than 30,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation.
Example:
You can take a Hammond organ, FM modulate the organ with a sawtooth, create a hypersaw and amplitude modulate this signal with a BPM synced vocoder drumline.
What is the advantage of Gladiator compared to other synthesizers?
* Real high-end sound quality: Analog, warm, transparent and fat
* Huge sonic range: From classic to unique science fiction
* Excellent value for money
* Low CPU and high reliability
* Gladiator can replace a complete room full of hardware
* Flexibility and expandability
* 750 professional sounds from Vengeance and others
* Gladiator was created by professional dsp scientists

tried the demo and the presets just sound like plastic toys..
though i was able to create some decent presets on my own from the init patch. but all in all it's nothing which sounds really better than what's already available in the VST world.. |

| Better synths out there imho, if i bought that it would probs not get used |

| I don't get why you're advertising reFX instruments on your website, though? The demos sound really good to me. I haven't used it yet, though. |

| It is the same company dude, or something to do with it |

;)
I just had a play with the demo. Quite impressed once you start making your own sounds though 10min just isn't enough time for me to get into testing it properly. 20min-30min would have been much better.
When will the manual be up anyway? I'm keen to read through it. |

The manual gets installed when you install the demo. :) So you should have it already. |

| Why do everyone hate this synth? it is supposed to be the greatest supersaw synth ever? |
|
|
| Fledz |
| Since when does everyone hate this synth :conf: |
|
|
| supernewbie |
can someone explain why all of you who didn't like the sound of this synth? What vst makes better supersaw and trance sounds? I guess there are none available?
And please note that all presets of gladiator have been designed by very famous guys who are famous becaues of their supersaw patches |
