Tone2 Unleashes Gladiator Soft Synth With Advanced HCM Synthesis
Tone2 is set to unleash their new Gladiator soft synth, which they claim is “a revolution in synthesis.” (if I had a nickel for every manufacturer that made that claim, well, you know… — Ed.) Ton2 goes on to bellow, “it will be one of the most powerful synthesizers which have ever been built.” Enough already, but we’re guessing that Tone2 is pretty darn pleased with themselves since the Gladiator endeaver is their largest project to date. Currently 34 people are doing betatesting, patch design and handbook translations. They’ve even introduced their own synthesis type, Advanced HCM.
