Roger Linn Design has announced the release of version 2.0 of the AdrenaLinn Sync plug-in, which improves upon the beat-synced effects portion of the AdrenaLinn series of guitar effects pedals.

AdrenaLinn Sync provides a variety of creative beat-synced filter modulation and sequencing effects, achieved by routing an LFO and 2-bar looped sequencer to control filter frequency, volume and pan. Version 2, completely rewritten in collaboration with plug-in developer Way Out Ware, greatly enhances filter quality, adds a new 3D-rendered UI, removes version 1's dependence on Pluggo technology and adds all new presets that spotlight the new sounds.

Noteworthy features include:

• Lowpass, bandpass, highpass, phaser and flanger filter types.
• Filter frequency calibrated in musical notes.
• Tube-modeled distortion with separate pre & post filtering.
• Peak limiter.
• Beat-synced 8-bar stereo delay.
• Sharp filter modulations without clicks or pops.
• Snap To Scale, which quantizes the LFO or Sequencer signals to one of 14 musical scales for tuned resonant filtering.

Priced at $99, AdrenaLinn Sync is available now for Mac OS X Universal Binary in VST and AU effect plug-in formats. The Mac OS X RTAS version is estimated to be released on July 1, 2010, followed by the Windows RTAS/VST version on July 15, 2010. A 14-day demo version is available.
