Major Arpeggiator Update

The many innovations include inspiring new Step Modifiers including Pattern Modes, Step Dividers, Pitch Slides and the unique ability to have altered Chord Voicings and Chord Inversions per step. Also included is a new Arpeggiator Preset Library that showcases all the creative possibilities. Best of all, Trilian 1.5 can now capture the MIDI data of the arpeggiator as a standard MIDI file, which can be dragged to any DAW for further editing.

Expanded Synthesis Features

Trilian 1.5 includes newly expanded synthesis features including many New Filter Types, Enhanced FM, Ring Modulation, Doubled Harmonia Voices and Polyphonic Waveshaping – which have been added for extra tonal shaping capabilities.

Full FX Modulation, double the amount of Mod Matrix slots and new modulation sources have been added for even more sonic control.
