Tone2 Warlock (synthesizer) - available now!

[xd37076]

So far we received a lot of very positive feedback from the customers.
Fact is also that Warlock is rock-solid and working very well. During one week we have not received a single crash report. Also not a single report about glitches. The only things that have been reported are some typos in the tooltips (I wrote oscialltors instead of oscillators), a hand full of patches where the volume is too loud (has already been adressed).

I also already posted that I will further enhance the patch management.
Presets will not longer be forgotten when you load a new bank.
It will be also possible to auto-load custom soundbanks.

Hi Markus, thanks for Warlock!!
It‘s my fifth Tone2-Synth and I‘m again convinced about the quality. There are enough possibilities to screw new own sounds. So - it’s nice to hear about the patch management enhancement.
By the way, that should be taken over in Gladiator.

Oscialltors...patend it immediately!

Just a wish: Could the sustain pedal CC64 be recognized (as sustain pedal)?

I think your mixing is fubar but of the limiited samples I've heard of warlock I think I like it.

Oh and my tips, get rid of all effects + eq and use a multipressor as a start. Check with different headphones + speakers and fix the clarity of the mix, it just sounds a bit mumbled to me.

Fx are barely audible,but still thanks for sharing ideas,probably will do very lite polishing in the end,for sure will avoid typical edm mixing with tons of fx,when sonic content is fubar.
Cheers

Can someone post sound examples of presets? Two ambient videos someone posted are ok but would love to hear more and without loads of reverb, just to hear character of the synth. Thank you!

I second that.

A few of me messing around if its any help...some are random some are from the resets. https://soundcloud.com/djairy/warlock-sounds-demo

Thank you for that Julian.
I have to admit your sound demo is way more in my taste aesthetics and sounds really good.

Google says.... for "Desktop Operating System Market Share Worldwide" it's 1.9% so even if musicians are at a slightly higher rate I don't think it makes sense for small developers to support Linux....yet.

The AudioDamage lead uses JUCE for plugin development for much that reason: you get the linux port for free.

thanks julian, warlock sounds lovely.

It would be interesting to chisel out general Linux audio issues in another thread / topic. Maybe we can get Linus attention somehow. Linux audio has been a problem since birth really.

And that's what demo/base-level-freemium versions are for. If it works, it works; if not, no loss. Personally, I'm used to things not working: the first Windows DAW I bought I never actually got the chance to use because Microsoft finally removed, from the next, yet-unreleased version of Windows, a vestigial yet vital piece of Windows 2.0, and its maker promptly shut down their product activation servers, burning off their entire installed user base. The second one I bought turned out to be incompatible with the Audigy, so I couldn't use that either.

Hope it helps somehow.... not the best "performance", expecially with basses but no FX whatsoever except a limiter

That's a nice story about 1987 but it doesn't do anything to convince me that Markus should work on a Linux version of Warlock and I'm a big fan of Linux.

I just don't think it makes financial sense for small developers to support Linux at this point. Too many technical issues for opening up maybe 2% more market share. Hopefully in the future that will change.

Anyway back to Warlock....I think all the people who dislike tabbed interfaces should really keep it on their radar. It's an all on one page synth and the 10 different GUI sizes should fit everyone's needs.

Windows Vista came out in 2006. Yes, it took them that long to remove that old 16-bit timer code (and that's not a bad thing).

Use JUCE, get linux version at no additional dev cost; use demo-freemium model to filter out those using incompatible distros. If it doesn't work, no loss. And it helps break the Catch-22 of...

Hopefully in the future that will change.
