A revolution in synthesis!
Gladiator is one of the most powerful synthesizers ever. This is a tough statement, but you should read this...
What is Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM) Synthesis?
This new synthesis method is based on a large and expandable repertoire of standard waves like pulse, unique synthetic waveforms as well as resynthesis waves like trumpets, organs, pianos and voice samples. These waves can be modified in real-time by e.g. FM modulation, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, waveshaping,...
Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds (recall: with only one oscillator!). In total there are more than 30,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation.
Example:
You can take a Hammond organ, FM modulate the organ with a sawtooth, create a hypersaw and amplitude modulate this signal with a BPM synced vocoder drumline.
What is the advantage of Gladiator compared to other synthesizers?
