Our favourite things ElectraX's 560-preset factory bank is rammed full of almost every type of sound you've ever heard on film, in a club or on TV and radio, and there are some intricate, fresh-sounding tones too. You might suspect ElectraX of being a case of quantity over quality, but as we've pointed out, all of its component parts are terrific, and as a whole, it sounds mind-blowing. The arpeggiator reeks of funk, with a nifty swing control - it makes a great track-starter, and remember, you get one per layer.Д«y now, you should have some idea of the scale of ElectraX and the sheer number of potential combinations.

The LFOs in ElectraX are stunning (three regular plus a step-style one) and more than a match for the kind of bassline modulation that is so popular right now. There are four envelopes with adjustable smoothing and 18 effects including an excellent vocoder.

They sound excellent too, with all the analogue-style juice and warmth you could need. The twin multimode filters offer up a massive 23 modes, including analogue-modelled ones and oddball options like Vocals and Aliaser. What's more, there's great-sounding sync and FM on the second and third oscillators, creating interesting interactions. In total, there are a whopping 45 oscillator types, and you can stack up to three in each synth layer. They won't change the way we think of synthesis forever, but they do offer some esoteric sonic twists. In practice, it provides a range of unpredictable-sounding oscillator types. It's a shame that you don't have control over where in the sample the waveform is extracted from, and that you can't combine multiple waveforms to create custom wavetables.ДЇractal Synthesis is new to us, and Tone2 reckons it's based on chaos theory. As well as basic sample playback, there's a resynthesis function that analyses a sample and plucks out its waveform so you can use it like a synth oscillator.
