What Babylon 2.2 does
The oscillator now offers Multi and Quad modes, and a Wavetable Editor is included for reshaping the 200+ high-resolution waveforms the plugin ships with. Tuning follows scales and microtonal options set per note, and an intelligent arpeggiator is built in.
The filter section gains new filter types, and the effects are new or reprogrammed: reverb, delay, distortion and a tempo-synced phaser. The plugin ships with 858 factory presets, and all features of the original Babylon are retained. Babylon 2.2 comes as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and a trial is available.
Key features
- One-page programming. The entire sound design surface sits on one page, so oscillator, filter, effects and modulation settings can be reached without switching views.
- Multi and Quad oscillation modes. Oscillation modes named Multi and Quad are new in this version and change how the oscillator voices are stacked.
- Scales and microtonal tuning. Scale and per-note microtonal options allow each note to be tuned independently.
- Intelligent arpeggiator. A new arpeggiator is included as part of the performance controls.
Use cases
- Wavetable sound design. The 200+ waveforms and the Wavetable Editor serve sound design work built around wavetable oscillators.
- Microtonal and scale work. Per-note tuning and scale options suit compositions that move outside equal temperament.
Compatibility
Babylon 2.2 is listed as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows 8 and later and macOS 10.13 or later.
Who it is for
