E-Phonic has announced an update to the Invader 2 virtual synthesizer instrument for Windows and MacOS.
Version 1.0.8 includes many new features, improvements and fixes.
Invader 2 is an 8 voice polyphonic synthesizer. It was designed to be easy to program while still offering a wide range of sounds and possibilities
Changes in Invader 2 v1.0.8
- Parameter values now displayed in the top bar.
- Adds sustain pedal support.
- Oscillators that have the same pitch (or a multiple) are synced when a note is triggered to improve consistency in sound.
- The phase of the oscillators is now also updated when the volume is at zero to prevent unexpected changes when they are turned on again.
- New phase offset slider added to control the initial phase when oscillators are synced/restarted.
- Reworked MIDI note handling.
- Key assign modes added:
- REUSE: reuse already playing voices with the same MIDI note.
- NEW: assigns MIDI notes to new voices if available.
- ARP now works correctly in polyphonic mode.
- ARP now handles velocity.
- SEQ now has 2 play modes, Sequencer Play (Poly) and Sequencer Play (Seq):
- Sequencer Play (Poly) plays the (polyphonic) notes you play and applies the pitch of the sequencer to the notes.
- Sequencer Play (Seq) plays the sequence transposed to the note you play.
- Fix: clicks/pops when using oscillator restart with the triangle oscillator.
- Fix: clicks/pops when switching presets.
- Fix: update MIDI controller status after loading preset.
