Blade 2 Upgrade from Blade

Rob Papen Blade 2 Upgrade from Blade is for existing Blade owners seeking a deeper approach to experimental synthesis. This 16-voice synthesizer puts harmonic shaping under XY-pad control, with movements you can record, edit and play back in sync with your track. Alongside the Harmolator engine, an Additive mode lets you blend or morph between four additive waveforms, including ones you create yourself. A dedicated analysis section turns sample data into waveforms for either synthesis mode. An additional analogue-style oscillator, a noise oscillator and 32 filter types broaden your sound-design palette, from evolving textures to animated synth sequences. The updated arpeggiator can control XY positions and add rhythmic variation through multiple ratcheting modes, while three Multi-FX processors finish the sound. It suits producers who enjoy building unusual timbres and exploring movement rather than sticking to conventional subtractive patches.
