Tone2 Gladiator 2 v2.5 [WiN]

Tone2 - Gladiator 2 - a powerful virtual synthesizer deserves special attention. This tool, perhaps, is the best among tools of this size. Sint Tone2 has a new type of synthesis, allowing you to get a tight wide sound. Available HCM, FM, and AM distortion. There are a huge number of presets distributed in categories, containing a whole range of synthetic instruments and effects. Its sound is very soft, warm and that is not unimportant - professional.
