Description :
A few years ago we created the original one-page wonder; Babylon.
The sound and simplicity of this synth was an instant hit with users, and with so much positive feedback
we couldn’t wait to dive back into development – adding more and better features.
Now, after a complete redesign, Babylon is back, baby!
Babylon 2 offers all the simplicity of its single-page predecessor, but now with a renewed focus on multi-voice oscillators
and morphing wavetables. We’ve added improved filters and updated effects, plus unprecedented control
over modulation, arpeggios, tuning, and more. Babylon 2 has grown from its humble beginnings into a beast…
the multi-purpose powerhouse synth you’ve been waiting for.
New ways to play with sound
Babylon 2’s multi-voice oscillators not only feature the traditional stereo unison and detune capabilities,
but also completely new modes. Dive into the depths of sound creation, offering seamless waveform mixing
with Multi mode and real-time morphing with Quad mode. No longer limited to predefined waveforms,
the new W-Lab wavetable editor helps you create unique tones and changing timbres. Easily create,
modify or even import your own WAV files, giving you unrivaled creative freedom
to explore uncharted sonic territory.
Discover new filters and effects
Expand your sonic palette with Babylon 2’s extensive range of filter types, including for the first time SVF, IIR
and Bi-quad filters, as well as classic and more experimental options. Experience a wealth of improved reverb, delay,
distortion and a newly added effect for brain-twisting tempo-synced phasing.
Dynamic Control: Endless Possibilities
Take control of your sound’s dynamics with Babylon 2’s intuitive curve editor for envelope modulators,
making it easy to create evolving sounds. Babylon version 2 introduces additional envelope followers
and two new key-track modulators, each with precise line editors. Of course, the previous LFO,
vibrato and envelope modulators are still as powerful as ever.
Tune Every Note
Explore otherworldly scales and tunings with Babylon 2’s innovative microtonal tuning. New in version 2,
you can now tune every single note up to 11 octaves in cents. The scale bank contains 23 standard scales and 34 additional scales
from far-flung places – some using quarter tones for exotic musical moments.
Rhythm of Life
Add rhythmic momentum to your music with Babylon 2’s powerful new arpeggiator. Create complex patterns
with ease thanks to the intelligent pattern generator and adjustable population and complexity parameters.
More to explore
Discover a wealth of additional features, including eight new noise types, expanded detune modes
with extended range, a customizable pitch bend pedal parameter, improved legato and portamento, expanded polyphony
, and a stereo ping pong effect for added spatial depth.
Presets for Every Day
With hundreds of high-resolution waveforms, from formants to digital instruments, you’re sure to find the perfect starting point
for your own sounds. Along with many variations of classic oscillator shapes, there are plenty of more unusual waveforms,
all of which are completely transformable using the new oscillator modes. The fantastic preset sounds
have been professionally programmed and catalogued in the built-in browser, so you can easily find what you need in a hurry.
