- Physical modelling synthesis
- 16 new effects
- 5 new filter types
- 236 additional waveforms
- Enhanced sound quality
- New graphics
- Better user interface
- Enhanced performance
- Electra2 is fully downward compatible with the previous version
- A large number of further features and enhancements
Electra2 is coming in July and will be available from the Tone2 website. Pricing details are still to be confirmed.
