Overview

Subtractive, done properly.

Element 2.0 is a subtractive virtual analog synth chasing the feel of hardware as much as the sound, covering 70s mono synths and 80s polysynths. A modulation matrix handles routing, and every control responds to MIDI Learn and multi-touch, so it can be played rather than only programmed. An effects suite and a 16-step sequencer are built in, it runs standalone as well as in a DAW, and a large preset library ships with it.

Highlights

Conventional subtractive architecture, nothing to decode
Oscillators into filter into amplifier, with expected modulation
Faster to steer when you already know the sound you want
Analogue-modelled oscillators and filter
Patches thicken with detuning rather than staying clean
Arpeggiator and effects section included
Standalone and plugin operation
Part of the Waves instrument range
