Ranging from standard filters and delays to advanced granular processing and vocoders, Artillery 2 offers a vast array of effects to cover every instrument, mix or sound design application you could possibly need. Each zone can be stacked with as many effects as you require for a specific function and Artillery 2's intelligent, CPU-friendly design will keep your system running smoothly.
Enhanced control over your sound and effects is presented with transparent modulation. Each parameter can be modulated using smart Key Tracking, altering an LFO, envelope follower or step sequencer depending on the key played. The keytracking option allows you to apply one effect to a group of keys and have each key modify the effect. You could apply a delay to an octave of keys and have the delay time or feedback change as you work your way up or down the octave. Or have a looper where the size of the loop changes as you work your way up the keyboard, creating 8th note to 16th note to 32nd note stutters before a big impact.
