Hivetune have released Relica 2, available as a FREE download.
Relica 2 is a subtractive synthesizer crafted to recreate the sounds of the 8-bit era.
From NES-style leads to the percussions of classic handhelds, Relica 2 puts the golden age of gaming audio right into your DAW.
Features include:
- Choose between the four classic oscillator shapes: Square, Sawtooth, Triangle, and Sine.
- Inject grit and digital artifacts using the built-in Bitcrusher, fine-tuned by hand for every oscillator shape.
- Toggle between Antialiasing modes: keep it enabled for a polished sound, or disable it to embrace the raw, aliased grit of original retro hardware.
- Change the timbre of your sound with Pulse Width modulation. Unlike most synthesizers, you can change it for all oscilators!
- Use the Preset Browser to try the 30+ factory presets and to save and load your own custom patches.
- Add organic movement with the Vibrato engine, featuring adjustable rates, depths, and multiple LFO shapes.
- Create iconic melodies with the BPM-synced Arpeggiator, transforming chords into the sequences that defined the golden age of gaming.
- A dedicated Noise module allows you to add White, Pink, and Periodic noise to your sound to add imperfections.
- Use the Monophonic mode and Slide (Portamento) control to create smooth transitions between your notes.
- Shape your sound’s envelope with the Dynamics (ADSR) section to create anything from plucks to atmospheric pads.
- The interface is built for ease of use, keeping every parameter on a single screen to ensure a fluid and intuitive creative process.
Relica 2 is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and standalone).
