Tone2 has updated Gladiator to v2.1 for both Windows and Mac OS X.

Improvements in sound quality:

• Drastically improved low notes oscillator sound.
• Improved reverb sound: Softer and more diffuse reverb tails.
• Improved psychoacustical processing.
• Improved spectral slope of low frequencies to reduce gibbs effect for more 'analog' sound.

• Reworked existing factory presets: Warmer sound.

New features:

• 3 new phase modulators for analog sounding pulsewidth modulation: PWM, PWM alt, phase shift.
• Added song position sync support for LFO 1/2 ('bpm' has to be set to 'on' and 'retrigger' to 'off').
• Added split keyboard support; new modulation sources: Low keys, High keys.
• Added new 'split' arp mode which applies ARP on high keys only and leaves low keys for basses.
• 18 new factory sounds.
