The interface of Tone2 synth is very easy to use and allows you to create interesting patches with minimal effort. FireBird 2 comes with 437 build-in preset sounds.The Harmonic Content Morphing synthesis (HCM) is also present in FireBird's much more powerful successor Gladiator, based on a large range of standard waves such as saw, pulse and more complex wave material, like multi-waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos and voice samples.
These waves are modified by special algorithms, which can alter the harmonic structure. FireBird 2 allows 84 different morphable oscillator types. Also 23 spectral manipulations or 'modifiers' can be applied to the oscillators. A fat knob doubles or quadruples the number of oscillators giving up to 8 oscillators per voice.
