Studiologic Sledge 2.0 Polyphonic Synthesizer

Studiologic Sledge 2.0 Polyphonic Synthesizer at a glance:

The Sledge 2.0 from StudioLogic is a 61-key synthesizer that builds upon the original Sledge by offering an auto dual mode, sampler player, pitch & hold controls, simultaneous reverb and delay effects, expanded polyphony, and Spectre, a sample-editor software.

Auto Dual Mode, mix the sound
Combine and play two sounds at the same time, in Split or Layer mode. Every sound combination can be stored in any of the 999 available presets.

Hold the loop and pitch the sound
Pitch and Hold functions can be enabled separately for the Lower and Upper sounds in Dual Mode, allowing you to keep the sample loop running while playing the upper sound. Elevate your performance.

Let your samples play
Sound samples and new waves can be loaded in the internal memory, played by OSC 1 and modifiable by all parameters of the control panel, adding other oscillators, setting filters, envelopes and effects.

Spectre & Sound Mapper
Create and transfer Sample content, manage and reorganize the internal sound library of your Sledge. Load, save, copy, send, receive. Everything you want to do with your sound library, you can do that thanks to a user-friendly interface.

What’s New:

• Auto Dual Mode: Allows for the playing of two sounds simultaneously in Split or Layer mode. The Dual Sound combinations can be permanently stored in any of the 1,000 available presets
• Sample Player: Sound samples and new waves can be loaded in the internal 60MB of Flash memory, played by Osc 1 and modified by all parameters of the control panel, including the addition of other oscillators, setting filters, envelopes, and effects
• Pitch & Hold Controls: Pitch and the Hold works can work in tandem with the Dual Mode Split function, allowing the use of the Pitch bend on the Upper sound (i.e. for solo parts) and the Hold pedal to control only the Lower (to keep playing a Drums groove or as a Damper for a Piano sound) and vice versa. The function can be used when Layering sounds to enable Pitch Bend and Hold on both Upper and Lower sounds
• Reverb+Delay: A new effect algorithm that mixes Reverb and Delay
• Enhanced Polyphony: The total maximum number or notes that can be played at the same time have been expanded to 24, allowing for better real time control over new sound possibilities obtained from synthesis and sampling together
• Spectre Sample Editing Software: Samples can be edited (keyboard range, tuning and other parameters) and transmitted to Sledge 2.0 by the USB port. With this easy-to-use software, samples can be loaded and played from the computer and then downloaded into the instruments memory
