	A revolution in synthesis! The award winning Gladiator is one of the most powerful synthesizers ever created. This is a bold statement, but you should read this... “Finally, a company that makes a synthesizer that offers a new synthesis technique. HCM is not just some meaningless “buzzword”...” (Recording magazine 10/08) The innovative HCM (Harmonic Content Morphing) synthesis covers new aural territory, a huge sonic range, and brings unmatched sound quality. Gladiator 2 supports an exhaustive list of synthesis methods which can be combined freely: Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM), Frequency Modulation (FM), Amplitude Modulation (AM), Phase Distortion (PD), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Phase Modulation (PM), oscillator sync, wave shaping, supersaw, re-synthesis sounds, vocoder sounds, additive and sample playback modes. What is the advantage compared to other synthesizers? True high-end quality: Analog, warm, crystal clear, rich sound New synthesis method (HCM) New unique sounds which no other synthesizer can create Huge sonic range Boundless possibilities Psychoacoustic processing IQM for clean and fat chords (Intelligent Microtuning) Different synthesis methods can be combined freely Flexibility, expandability Easy to use Low CPU and high reliability 1070 professional preset sounds included Gladiator can replace a room full of hardware Excellent value for the money OSCs The image on the right shows the heart of HCM synthesis. Gladiator's secret weapon is its powerful OSC section which can be used to create sounds unlike any other synthesizer. In total there are 110 different oscillator types with more than 36,000 different spectra available. Every spectrum can be modified in real time. Groups of spectra can be morphed, producing lively shimmering sounds (with only one oscillator!). This gives you endless opportunities and a huge sonic range. You can make a fat sounds become thin, FM modulate it, waveshape, sync, crossfade, ringmod, filter... Gladiator can play up to 18 alias-free multi-oscillators per voice with 4x stereo unison and crystal clear sound quality. Filters The high-end stereo filters are reference quality and took years of scientific research to create. Tone2 is currently the only company which can offer such a large and excellent selection of filters. Gladiator 2 comes with 41 different filter types: Lowpass (6-40dB), Analog, Moog, Vocal, Phaser, Comb, EQ, FM, AM, Resample, Elliptic... Effects All effects are stereo and support up to 8x oversampling for the highest possible sound quality. The outstanding Reverb offers a warm sound similar to the Lexicon units. Gladiator supports Dolby Prologic II compatible surround encoding. 37 high-end quality effects are integrated into Gladiator including: Reverb, Delay, Pingpong, Flanger, Phaser, Chorus, Rotary, Surround pan, Super strings, Tube amp, Bitcrush, Waveshape, Talkbox... Modulation Gladiator comes with a powerful and flexible modulation section. The LFOs offer 22 different waveforms and can be synced to bpm. The Step LFO is inspired by old analogue step sequencers and can create rhythmic sequences (like a 303) or can be used as a trancegate. The analog modeled ADSFR envelopes are easy to adjust and sound punchy. The mod matrix offers very flexible routing between sources (LFOs, envelopes, Midi CCs...) and destinations (filters, mixers, effects...). Psychoacoustic processing IQM (Intelligent Microtuning) is a smart algorithm which makes the synthesizer sound fatter and cleaner by automatically detuning notes for lush chords. The innovative phase modulator module in the OSC section is based on the latest knowledge in phonetic science. It makes a digital spectrum sound warm, silky and analogue. A special post-processing algorithm in Gladiator simulates the way humans hear which results in deeper basses and more transparency.

“Finally, a company that makes a synthesizer that offers a new synthesis technique. HCM is not just some meaningless “buzzword” that’s a rehash of more of the same... It gives a new direction in dynamic expression.”

“nearly boundless possibilities... opulent sound processing... new, very specific sounds, which no other synthesizer plugin can do...”

“The developers succeeded to pack a huge variety of features to a very well arranged and easy to use interface. Gladiator sounds powerfull and impressive... very good sounds are included.”

“This is a seriously fine-sounding instrument and hardcore synthesists in particular will love the innovative approach to sound generation”
