Classic Super Oscillator Synthesizer

Vintage Sounds from the Future

Strobe2 is a timeless synth that fuses cutting edge technology with classic analog modelling. With a stunning collection of analog sounds and accessible controls for designing your own, Strobe2 has everything you need to create a modern classic.

Feature Packed Super Oscillator

Strobe2 is built around a single, super-powered Super Oscillator whose array of features that gives you unprecedented sonic flexibility.

Strobe2's single 'super-oscillator' features multiple waveform faders, noise generator and hard-sync. Adding to its sonic flexibility are phase-reset, key-tracking tone controls and an enhanced sub osc with a wider range and waveshaping circuit. The sub can now also be unlinked from the unique stacking and detuning function for a solid foundation beneath a wildly detuned or chord-like main oscillator sound.

Familiar Foundations - Built around the classic SH-101 oscillator, Strobe2's oscillator offers both classic and modern controls, allowing for a huge range of tones, timbres and textures.

Sync, Stack and More... - Along with classic oscillator features, Strobe2 lets you modify and modulate your waveforms even further with Sync, Stack and Detune parameters to get really wild.

Sub Oscillations - Link or decouple the Sub Oscillator, the area of Strobe2 that brings the bass. Octave, tone and shape parameters let you define the fundamentals.

Filters for Shaping and Refining

A great range of analog-modeled filters gives you complete control over the timbre and texture of your signal path. Strobe2's filter includes 22 varied responses and now includes gain-compensated drive for easy access to incredibly varied tones.

Classic and Modern Modes - Choose from a range of familiar low, high and band-pass modes, or give things a unique twist with a range of modern modes to suit your style.

Direct Envelope Control - With three dedicated faders, you can introduce the ideal amount of keytracking, LFO and envelope modulation to keep things moving.

Analog Quirks - Drive and Leak parameters let you emulate classic old-school filter circuits, introducing an element of noise and uncertainty for authentic grittiness.

Unique Effects

Finetune your sound or warp it out of recognition with an arsenal of effects that helps you put your personal stamp on sonic classics. Experience advanced filtering and waveshaping.

Delays - From classic dub delay to synced complex rhythms, explore the world of repetition with the delay modules in Strobe2.

Reverb - Add gigantic space or a roomy feel to your sounds, or even twist them into the beyond with the range of reverb modules that are available.

Chorus, Phaser and Flanger - An array of time-based effects are at your fingertips to add luscious width and texture to your sounds.

Distortion, Compression and EQ - For fine-tuned trimming to all-out destruction, Strobe2 has everything you need for your sounds to sit in the mix.

Modulate Everything

Modulate any parameter intuitively, and add expression and movement to your sounds, with FXpansion's TransMod system. Intuitive modulation MPE and powerful sequencing.

Modulation Sources - From familiar LFOs and envelopes to ramps, MPE gestures and unison, take control and shape your sounds in unique ways.

TransMod - Upgraded TransMod system lets you apply modulation directly to parameters, so keeping track of complex modulation routing has never been easier.

Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator - From beautiful arpeggios to complex modulation controlled by the step sequencer, these engines help to bring rhythm and movement to your sounds.
