LinPlug's CronoX 2 is a highly flexible, easy-to-use, VST sample synthesizer. The instrument is monotimbral, twenty-four note polyphonic and features a modular design that includes four types of audio Generator, a multi-mode filter, a modulation envelope, two syncable LFOs, an eight-by-eight Modulation Matrix and a stereo effects unit containing a Drive effect as well as six different effects processors.
At the heart of the CronoX 2 are its unique audio Generators which can be used to create an extensive range of waveforms from rich, warm analog to "way out there" weirdness! Four types of generator are available: Analogue, TimeSamp, Schrader, and LoopSamp.
CronoX 2 is available to purchase for $59.
At the heart of the CronoX 2 are its unique audio Generators which can be used to create an extensive range of waveforms from rich, warm analog to "way out there" weirdness! Four types of generator are available: Analogue, TimeSamp, Schrader, and LoopSamp.
- The 64-bit Analogue oscillator can be used to produce classic analog-style waveforms ranging from square to sawtooth.
- The TimeSamp Generator resembles a conventional sampler: you load a WAV or AIFF file into the Generator and then trigger it. Although only one sample is used, what you can do with this one sample is unique. You can time-stretch it in realtime (time is available as modulation destination!), pitch-shift it without affecting the duration, and you can use key tracking to control the Time parameter, allowing you to create really weird sample-based waveforms!
- The Schrader Generator is another unique LinPlug design that creates a wavetable from any sample.
- Finally, although the Loop Sampler appears to function much like a conventional sampler, its start point and loop points can be individually modulated, once again providing great creative potential. All four Generators can be used for AM and FM synthesis.
