Sonic academy ANA2 is out
Back in Black
Completely redesigned from the ground up, ANA returns to the scene stronger than ever

Our highly anticipated launch is finally here! We have spent many thousands of hours rebuilding and redesigning every nook and cranny of ANA to create a beautifully elegant and powerful synth. One that is super simple to use but with an extensive toolset to allow you to create complex and exciting sounds.

Over 3 YEARS in the making, our baby is finally ready and we can't wait for you all to try it out.
So Fresh & So Clean
We have completely redesigned the interface, with a brand new HD Retina ready GUI with both classic white and a new black skin to choose from.

With all of the new features we have crammed into ANA 2 it was a challenge to present it all on screen without it getting cluttered, we have managed to accomplish this simple and familiar layout that made ANA 1 so famous, whilst also giving you the full flexibility of what ANA 2 has to offer

Morph your sound with 3D Wavetables
With our 3D Oscillator, expansive complex sounds is just a knob turn away.

Combine up to 3 wavetable oscillators with our other sound sculpting features, and you will understand just how beautifully complex sounds can become in ANA 2. Click on the waveform to open the waveform browser panel and populate all three oscillators with only a few clicks, then assign your G-ENV to the morph knob to create evolving pads, dirty wubs or epic atmospheres.
+ Import your own Wavetables
We will let you into a little secret; you can import your own custom wavetables into ANA 2, it even reads wavetables created in Serum!

Import your own samples
You can now import your own custom samples into one of the 3 sampler Oscillators in ANA 2, or choose from the included library of sounds to make your presets standout.

Just Drag and drop files from your DAW or file system then modify your samples into something entirely new and unique with looping, crossfade, pitch and reverse.
Instant Chord Progressions with CMD
This is where ANA 2 goes epic! Assign any chord to any key to create world-class chord progressions.

Work CMD and ANA 2's arp together, for an incredibly powerful tool creating complex chords progression, insane arps with beautiful chord changes or the darkest of techno stabs with huge six note extended chords from the preset list.

We think there is nothing out there in a synth to match the CMD / Arp combo and the world of possibilities it brings to the producer.
14 day demo now available

That CMD thing is a pretty neat idea. Seems like setting it up could end up being more trouble than just... you know... playing a chord though lol.

They're not wrong that it probably combos nicely with the Arp though

 

It reads well, can't wait to grab the wheel and take it out for a test drive. I appreciate the sample manipulation as well as the handy drag and drop feature.

 

i always like seeing chord memorizer features in soft & hardware synths.
i think rob papen predator has that & i like the arturia keystep for that also.

 

i like the import your own samples idea, could be interesting

 

different strokes for different folks i guess, i do like spire alot and sylenth, ANA for me is easier to get to grips with

 

14 day demo is available NOW

 

I think its great one of the best plugin updates in a long time
lots of fun ,easy to use and sounds fab

 

Haven't try this yet but looking at specs, CPU usage very friendly. As always, anywhere, factory presets doesn't convinced me much I'll be hoping to see what Vandalism can bring on future bass with ANA 2. They've made one good shocking future bass soundsets with ANA i'm impressed.. looking forward on this. Future Bass y'all

 

ANA 2 is totally different. I am quite impressed with it's sound.
