Sick Noise Instruments have released Xenobyte 2, available.at the intro price of €49.00, increasing to €99.00 after the promotion.
Xenobyte 2 is a new hybrid wavetable and granular synthesizer designed exclusively for Windows 10 and 11 systems as a 64-bit VST3 plugin or standalone application.
The instrument features two morphing wavetable oscillators, a granular engine for texture creation, and a third classic oscillator, all supported by a highly visual drag-and-drop modulation system with four LFOs that include a step sequencer mode.
Users can shape their sound using 18 filter types and 9 built-in effects, while the interface offers real-time 3D morphing displays, scalable window sizes from 75% to 200%, and the ability to import custom wavetables and samples.
