What's New in RC-20 Retro Color v2
- Echo: A feedback delay with RC-20 inside the loop so repeats wobble, distort, and degrade as the sound evolves with each pass.
- Grains: Transform delay trails into wide, shimmering ambient soundscapes and granular textures.
- Codec: Dial in digital grit that’s become today’s retro, from lossy network compression and packet dropouts to formant shifts and smeared, blurry artifacts.
- Expanded Sonic Palette: Explore new tape, classic preamp, and 4-track cassette distortions, 32 new reverb types, warp modulation, Digital Sputter and Drive, Space ducking, and pre/post Noise blend.
- Movable Modules: Drag Wobble, Distort, Digital, Space, and Loss into any order to discover unexpected interactions and timbres.
- Focus/Cut Filters: Target effect ranges precisely with dedicated filters in the Noise, Wobble, Distortion, and Loss modules.
- Tempo Sync: Keep modulation, Magnetic tape flutter, and Echo times locked to your project's tempo for beat-synced movement.
- Loudness Match: Audition changes objectively without volume bias by automatically matching processed output to the dry signal level.
- Faster Preset Browsing: Instantly discover, categorize, and export presets using tags, custom collections, search filtering, and seamless preset sharing.
- Enhanced Production Workflow: Stay in the groove with full undo history, module locking, modifier-key control of several parameters at once, snapshot comparisons, oversampling, and master compression.
- Compatible with v1: The new version of RC-20 Retro Color installs alongside the original, so your existing projects open just as they did before. All the original v1 factory and artist presets are included in v2. You can also import your own v1 presets in a few clicks.
