Strobe2 from FXpansion is a polysynth plug-in that builds on the original Strobe's analog modeling and synthesis, while adding a slew of enhancements, requested features, and new sounds. Highlights include an enhanced effects section, revamped arpeggiator, deeper modulation processing, preset morphing, randomizing, and a scalable vector interface for retina and 4K displays.
The software retains the super-oscillator with stacking, detuning and sync, a warm saturating VCA, the TransMod modulation system, and a multimode filter with twenty-two modes. With the over 900 presets available as starting points, the synthesizer's programming simplicity makes fast work of creating new sounds and makes learning about synthesis satisfying. The soft-synth is fully compatible with MPE controllers such as the ROLI Seaboard. It's compatible with Mac and Windows platforms and operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats.
