Now available: Gladiator 4.2

Many thanks for the update Markus! This synthesizer is absolutely 100% UNIQUE and I love it!

My general complaint still stands for ALL your synths though. We need more Modulation Matrix SLOTS!!! At least double for every damn synth you've made.

They fill up sooooo fast with just basic modwheel+aftertouch to various targets, leaving almost none for actual synthesis.

Or they could make clap versions and let the host take care of the extra modulations! You could have infinite modulations in Bitwig !

That would indeed be cool but then it's not contained within a preset you can easily share. So I prefer the basic modulations to be within the actual instrument itself.

All of Tone2 synths have amazing synthesis potential so it's always been bugging me that they have so damn few modulation slots. For instance, if you want mod wheel to modulate an LFO mod source, that takes up 2 slots. Want after touch too with that? Now you've used 4 slots.. then start adding all the basics like velocity and keyboard tracking to interesting parameters and you've soon run out of almost all slots. It's extremely frustrating to say the least!

Nice! Thanks for the update, Markus!

You can change the Voices count to 1 at the top of the UI and there are Glide settings in the Glide/Pitch section (with a Legato) option at the bottom.

oh I thought glide didn’t do a proper mono legato where glide doesnt retrigger envelopes.

I’m not at my PC to check, but you can ask Markus or Troels about that part of it.

Yeah I checked and indeed it doesn't have a proper legato glide, it always retriggers envelopes.

How do we add our own custom sounds?

Gladiator 3.5.x beta is available for download.

Bug:

When changing presets in Gladiator 3.5 beta, the controls do not update properly. Once you click on a control, it suddenly jumps to the correct value.

System: Mac M1 Mini, Big Sur 11.2.3
Host: Reaper v6.61
Plugin: VSTi

Another bug: When saving a preset, the name end ups being a '.' (a dot). No matter where or how I save my preset.

Once I re-load the preset (using the 'load' button), the name shows up correctly.

Are all the parameters detectable / available to the DAW?

I'm tempted to buy it, but sounds like it is limited with it's LFO, Envelope, MSEG etc capabilities and if it doesn't expose parameters to the DAW then I can't get beyond some of its limitations with Bitwigs modulators...

Never mind, I installed the demo, yep NOT 1 of the parameters was detected in Bitwig when moved... ModAmm1 to 6 (probably just 6 exposed variables from the matrix assigns)...

HARD PASS..

all parameters in the full version can be controlled from the daw and are automatable.
matrix 7-12 was added in a later update from v2. 0. so they might be found later in the list.
not sure if it possible in the demo, since you can't save there.

In general you should avoid automating the matrix parameters of a synth. This is a bad approach in sound design and will definitely result in crackles.

This synth is becoming from my absolute favourites! It is like discovering the secret weapon of Depeche Mode decades ago! It is not possible of course, but learning the fine details of this synth is paying off for me.

Just few ideas for the future if it is possible:
1. Another Modulation Matrix pages (2 or 3 would be great).
2. When hovering or clicking a parameter (knob for example), a value appears either in the tooltip or the info screen.
3. A huge size like in Icarus 2 would be more than great

Many of the text labels look like they are too close to the elements they are indicating. (Everything looks squashed together). Also don't care for the light glare of the panel on the left side, it messes with my eyes.

Dark mode would be very nice...

Nice! I have unfinished song. I'm going to extract a jingle of it and make it all Gladiator
