Quanta 2

Synthesizer
Audio Damage

Quanta 2 is a granular synthesis plugin that presents a sophisticated grain engine in the form of a classic subtractive synth. It combines a granular oscillator with two virtual-analog oscillators, filters, and modulation sources to enable real-time manipulation of samples and synthesized sounds. With flexible envelope generators, low-frequency oscillators, and integrated effects, Quanta 2 transforms granular synthesis into a playable, expressive instrument.

Available for:VST3AUAAX

Key Features

  • Granular oscillator with grain rate (1-100 grains/sec), length (1ms-1sec), and 12 envelope shapes
  • Pitch quantization to user-defined scales using 12-tone equal temperament, MTS-ESP, or TUN files
  • Automatic root note detection and manual override for sample transposition
  • Two virtual-analog oscillators with shape morphing, pulse-width modulation, and anti-aliasing
  • Dual filters (4-pole and 2-pole) with 8 configurations: OFF, LOW PASS, BAND PASS, HIGH PASS, NOTCH, in series or parallel routing
  • Four Flexible Envelope Generators with arbitrary breakpoints, looping modes (one-shot, forward, bidirectional), and time/amplitude scaling
  • Two Flexible LFOs with morphable shapes (double sine, sine, triangle, square) and bipolar/unipolar output modes
  • Sample & Hold modulator with selectable trigger sources and smoothing
  • Four Macro knobs for manual, automatable modulation with MIDI CC mapping
  • Built-in effects: delay, chorus, and reverb
  • True stereo processing with stereo width control
  • 15-voice polyphony with unison mode
  • MPE controller support
