Insert Piz Here releases Mr. Alias 2

Insert Piz Here has announced the release of Mr. Alias 2, which is now open source and cross-platform.

Mr. Alias 2 uses non-bandlimited oscillators which can be transposed near to and beyond the Nyquist frequency, causing most of their spectra to be aliased back into audible non-harmonic frequencies. The sound can then be further processed by a number of crude "effects."

Though it is based on the same concept as the original, Mr. Alias 2 is completely rewritten for cross-platform compatibility, and has a number of significant improvements.

Some highlights:

• 2 oscillators.
• 18 waveforms.
• Full stereo processing.
• 6 filter types including a formant filter.
• Filter envelope.
• External audio processing.
• Patch randomizer button.
• Highly configurable MIDI control with MIDI learn.
• MIDI-controllable patch morphing.
• Drag & drop preset and MIDI map loading.
• Resizable GUI.

Mr. Alias 2 is available for Windows, Mac OS X Universal Binary and Linux in VST and AU instrument plug-in formats.
