How does HCM-synthesis work?

The award-winning HCM-synthesis is not just a marketing buzzword. It is a synthesis that is exclusive to Gladiator and not available from any other company.
Our engineers analyzed how the spectra of natural instruments, voices, and synthesized sounds evolve dynamically. For each sound, they created 256 temporal spectral snapshots. As time passes, these snapshots change dynamically. These spectra can be morphed, looped, and manipulated in a wide variety of ways. In addition, the harmonic content can be modified with 10 modules and 132 different algorithms to change the sound. The sum of all this results in a virtually unlimited number of different sounds.
A powerful randomization function allows you to create an unlimited number of musically useful and unheard-of sounds with a single mouse click!
Gladiator supports up to 18 oscillators per voice with stacking, 4x stereo unison and crystal clear sound quality.

Sounds

Gladiator ships with an inspiring library of over 1200 outstanding presets from professional sound-designers. A variety of expansions is available to extend Gladiator's features and preset library. All sounds are arranged into categories for a quick and easy access to the sound you need.
