New Course: ROLI Equator 2 Explored
May 27th, 2022, 10:12
ROLI, the maker of leading MPE-based controllers, has released Equator2, a revolutionary hybrid MPE synthesizer that works in both MPE and non-MPE modes. Equator2 is a highly expressive synth with six sound sources, four synthesis engines, and extensive modulation and effect sections. It's a complex beast, but Rishabh Rajan's new course 'ROLI Equator 2 Explored' is an in-depth exploration of all its powerful features.
The course starts out by exploring the interface, looking at the built-in patches and demonstrating how to navigate the preset browser, and then dives into Equator2's synth engine. It covers the six available sound sources and the four synthesis engines -- Wavetable, Sampler, Granular, and Noise -- and how to sculpt sounds using Equator2's various filters and complex routing options. There's a deep dive into the modulation options of Equator2, which go beyond typical ADSR and LFO options -- ADS-PR, Multi-Mods, and Math modulators are all covered. The course also digs into the Macros, the MPE mode, the flexible effect section, and more, and wraps up with a sound design example to inspire custom patch creation.
Anyone looking to master all the powerful features of Equator2 will want to check out this course and expand their sound design palette with ROLI's expressive super synth.
