Inspired by the legendary VSM 201 Vocoder from Sennheiser we've spent MATRIX an additional Filter module modelling the analog Sound of the VSM.
But to make it even better we've extended the filter range by adding two additional filters for the high end and MATRIX got two Filterbanks for stereo operation.
MATRIX 2 also comes with a redesigned user interface, some additional presets and we've spent an internal noise generator for whisper effects.
Version 2.2 is a VST3 / AudioUnit 64-bit version for Mac OS X.

Celebrate John Cage's 100th birthday by playing the John Cage Piano app on your iPad. One of the many ingenious innovations of American composer/writer/artist John Cage was his creation of the "prepared piano", in which he placed objects beneath and between the strings of a grand piano to create an entirely new instrument.
The sounds of John Cage's prepared piano are now available for you to play on your iPad with this innovative app. Play meticulously sampled sounds of a piano prepared with the actual materials used by John Cage in the preparations for his Sonatas and Interludes (1946-48) as sampled under the supervision of the John Cage Trust.
