Alongside basic waveforms and wavetables, Carbon Electra 2 also offers Waveterrain oscillators, all backed up by 362 presets.
It’s available now for $79 (regular price $99 from July 13), and owners of Carbon Electra 1 can upgrade from the same vendor they made their first purchase from.
Features List
Scale Lock and Musical Control
- Oscillators can lock to musical scale degrees instead of only traditional pitch values.
Sequencer can lock to diatonic notes and chords within the selected scale.
Musical filter can lock to scale notes, incoming chord tones or interval relationships.
Designed to keep sound design, sequencing and modulation musically connected.
- All-new Wave terrain oscillator mode based on topographic terrain-style sound generation.
Upload your own terrain images in .png format to create custom oscillator behaviour.
Control how the sound interacts with terrain edges in 3D aspect.
Adjust terrain size and movement for different tonal results.
A new alternative to wavetable synthesis, with its own movement, texture and character.
Also includes classic analogue waveforms and wavetable oscillator modes.
- Four independent oscillators.
Classic, wavetable and wave terrain oscillator options.
Per-oscillator pitch, tune, width, cascading FM and position-style controls depending on oscillator type.
Unison support across oscillators.
Flexible oscillator blending through the central mixer.
- Scale-based note and chord sequencer.
Write freely in chromatic mode or stay locked to the chosen scale.
Chord mode allows diatonic chord programming.
Supports chord extensions and inversions.
Ideal for musical riffs, basslines, arps, chord patterns and evolving harmonic sequences.
- Multi-shape modulation step sequencer.
Assignable to multiple parameters.
Can run independently from the note/chord sequencer.
Timing can be divided or multiplied against the main sequencer rate.
Useful for rhythmic movement, filter patterns, pitch modulation, wavetable movement and FX automation.
- New musical filter modes including interval, chord and scale-based behaviour.
Filter movement can follow musical relationships rather than only static cutoff values.
Designed for harmonic filtering, resonant movement and scale-aware sound shaping.
Includes traditional filter controls such as cutoff/offset, resonance, focus/window and keytracking.
- Four-channel oscillator mixer.
Per-oscillator level and panning.
Re-routable oscillator/filter paths.
Optional gain boost mode.
Designed for complex layering and movement between oscillator sources.
- Powerful onboard effects section.
Includes delay, distortion, chorus, EQ and reverb.
Effects can be reordered.
FX parameters can be modulated.
Designed for creating finished sounds directly inside the instrument.
- Flexible modulation assignment workflow.
Assign modulation sources to multiple destinations.
Clear visual destination lists per modulation source.
Supports LFOs, envelopes, sequencer modulation and performance controls.
- Three dedicated LFOs.
Amp envelope and modulation envelope.
LFO sync, trigger and mono modes.
Adjustable LFO waveforms and destinations.
Velocity control for envelope behaviour.
- Main output section with level control.
Mono, retrigger, legato and limiter options.
Unison voice controls.
Detune, width, tune, pitch bend range and glide controls.
Mod wheel assignment support.
- User sequence area with visual waveform/shape display.
Save and recall musical sequences and arps.
Designed for both sound design and musical phrase creation.
Stronger link between preset design, harmony and performance.
Includes 362 presets in total, with artist presets from producers including Carl Cox, Timo Garcia, Faze Action and Christian Laffitte.
