What Quanta 2 does
The instrument is organized around two sound sources: a multi-format sample loader and a set of two virtual analog oscillators with a noise source. Each oscillator has a continuously variable wave shape and pulse width modulation, and the noise source includes a color control that affects its tonal character.
Modulation is handled by four flexible envelope generators, which the developer describes as arbitrary function generators, two bipolar flexible LFOs, a sample and hold source and a modulation menu that assigns any MIDI or internal source to any destination.
Quanta 2 release files circulate as a Quanta 2 crack, a Quanta 2 keygen and a Quanta 2 serial key, and the most common search pairs the name with free download and direct download link. The repack is often shared as a .rar or .iso, and a Quanta 2 torrent or magnet link is the usual form of distribution, with the AU build seen as an AU crack and the AAX build as an AAX crack.
Key features
- Granular sample engine. Grain pitches can be quantized to a chosen scale, and the quantization is applied after modulation, so randomized grain tuning snaps to the selected notes. The quantizer respects a tuning table, including MTS-ESP.
- Oscillators and noise. Two virtual analog oscillators each offer a continuously variable wave shape and pulse width modulation, and the noise source provides a color control for its tonal character.
- Envelopes and LFOs. Four flexible envelope generators act as arbitrary function generators, and their amplitude and time scale knobs are exposed; two bipolar flexible LFOs gain amplitude control and a switchable mode.
- Modulation assignment. Modulation is assigned from a menu or by right-clicking a control, and controls show indicators that display their current modulation. Four macro knobs receive global modulation.
- Microtuning and MPE. Tuning tables and a global tuning offset re-tune the instrument, and MPE is understood alongside legacy MIDI, with the MPE mode set per instance.
- Effects and presets. A chorus, a stereo dual delay and a reverb are included, and the factory collection is supplied with the instrument. Presets from Quanta 1 can be loaded, and the vector-based interface resizes for Hi-DPI and Retina displays.
Compatibility
Quanta 2 is offered as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit). The minimum systems are macOS 10.12 and Windows 8.1, and a trial is available.
