Element 2.0 captures the sound and feel of classic analogue synthesisers – with a sequencer, effects and a large preset library.

Element 2.0 draws on 70s mono synths and 80s polysynths and groups all parameters logically in a single window, like the front panel of a hardware synthesiser. 429 presets range from basses and leads to arpeggios, pads and effects. A 16-step sequencer with arpeggiator, matrix modulation, effects with delay, reverb, distortion, bitcrusher, chorus and EQ, and MIDI Learn for all controls complete the instrument.
