"...During the last years we've been secretly working..." on a synth that sounds and looks the same as all our products.

 

you dont like tone 2 products
because the crack for it
dont work right after weeks

when you buy the synth you will like it dickheads

 

... + enhanced malware functionality!

 

All Tone's 2 synths sound ,,plastic'' …. not musical… jus like a cheap toys but they are not cheap…

 

It's normal for a weird company!

 

@dmoll : Tone2 cracks works...when you know what is a firewall and an host file.
DOA releases just use paid serial. And they simply work. There are more working.
And your attitude/words could be from Tone2 main dev. Along their Gladiator malware admin alert/auto close computer.

About sound, Tone2 use a kind of "aural exciter-like" effect (BBE and such) maxxed out on ALMOST all their products. Even when all is supposed to be disabled, because it is their sound. Some ppl like it...i don't.
It is so obvious to me it gives me headaches with headphones with that "broader than life/behind your head" sound.
And phase is, of course, a mess. Will blend easily with other synths, btw. Comb filtering helps ;)

On the other side, Tone2 sound improved recently by removing this aural-exciter thing on some products, like on Nemesis. It is obvious to me...but may be, once again, i'm the only one noticing it. Immediate effect is PUNCH. Unlike all older Tone2 synths.
I still prefer FM8 and Sytrus by a large margin

Tone2 still act (almost) the same with agressive (not working a long time) protection and (almost) same sound.
Funny : with aural exciter, it sounds enhanced and plastic like bimbo "enhanced" boobies (can be pleasing, with moderation).
And without, it sounds more natural but boring and bland. I don't know what to choose

 

Tone2 Synthesizers have all a distinct sound, sharp, aggressive, a bit like SERUM...
...not everybody's taste! It could be apt for certain music styles but definitely not
for AMBIENT music!

The *aural–exciter* thingy = "plastic like bimbo "enhanced" boobies" can be quite
pleasant or useful on some pieces, tracks, enjoy it with measure!

 

A bit of new info:

Tone2 Icarus will come with a powerful dual stereo filter section.

It will include over 60 different sounding filter types: Vocal, Fractal, Analog, Digital, Resonator, EQ, Ringmod, AM, FM, Phaser, Comb, Z-Plane, Multimode, Resampling, … All filters offer the highest possible sound quality and many of them will be exclusive to Icarus.

The flexible routing allows you to route every oscillator individually to filter1, filter2 or bypass.
An animated display visualizes the frequency response in realtime. Two stereo distortion sections with 9 different modes allow you to shape the sound further. Embedded Malware included with every purchase.

 

Their stuff sounds thin and disguised in cheap fx.

This synth looks like Serum.

 

Hey dev, this phrase: 'During the last years..' does not work in English, you need to say 'During the last few years...'

@Thankful Germans über alles...über english...über everything

*yawn*

 

Tone 2, with his brothers, Synapse Audio DUNE, Dmitry Sches Diversion and Tantra, I hate their 'essence added' sound

 

TONE2, aka the Company that fucks up Windows Users Registries and calls it Piracy Protection?! ;)

 

Tone2 soft synths sound like... what the blood left after popping a pimple looks like, IMHO. Really. Check out your's or somebody else's popped zits the next time you get a chance and judge for yourself.

 

Another bit of new info:

Tone2 Icarus will come with a powerful effect section. 3 Modular slots, each with 53 different effect types will be available. You will be able to create your own custom effects, which can be loaded and saved from the harddisc.

The flexible routing will allow you to route single oscillators to different effects. The innovative ducking mode can change the dry/wet mix of delays and reverbs dynamically, as a result you get a more transparent mix. The additional feedback section allows you to route the output back to the input. This way you can create completely new effects, like a delayed-phaser or a feedbacked-vibrato.
