T-Force Alpha Plus 2: A New Era of Trance Synthesis
Experience the power and innovation in the new version of the legendary Trance Gate synthesizer — T-Force Alpha Plus 2 from Mastrcode Music. This plugin doesn’t just update its predecessor, it rethinks classic features and adds brand new capabilities for creating deep, atmospheric, and energetic soundscapes that are ideal for Trance and other electronic genres.
T-Force Alpha Plus 2 is a powerful tool that combines time-tested architecture with modern advancements, offering unparalleled flexibility and control over sound. Thanks to new features and an updated interface, creating complex textures and rhythmic patterns becomes an intuitive and engaging process.
What’s new in T-Force Alpha Plus 2?
Mastrcode Music developers have added a multitude of significant improvements that make T-Force Alpha Plus 2 an even more versatile and powerful tool in your arsenal:
- Updated graphical interface: Now you can change the background color of each individual panel in real-time directly in your DAW, customizing the working environment to your own taste and needs.
- New oscillator capabilities: Introducing “Drift Mode”. Each oscillator now has a drift function that allows you to add a small, adjustable phase and/or pitch shift. This is ideal for simulating the slight voltage inaccuracies typical of vintage analog synthesizers, giving the sound warmth and organic quality.
- Improved envelopes: Envelope curves for Attack, Decay, and Release can now be adjusted from linear to exponential. This gives you significantly more control over the sound’s dynamics, allowing you to create both sharp and smooth volume changes.
- New filter: The built-in filter now offers up to 14 different filter types, opening up wide possibilities for timbre shaping and adding expressiveness to the sound.
- Updated LFOs: Low-frequency oscillators (LFOs) can now be switched between bipolar and unipolar modes. LFO triggering can now be delayed, and an attack mode for the LFO amplitude has also been added, allowing the modulation to “smoothly build up”.
- Extended Trance Gate: The gate sequencer has received a new interface for a better workflow and three restart modes:
- Host mode: The sequencer synchronizes with the beats of your DAW’s sequencer.
- 1st Note: The gate sequencer is triggered by the first played note (e.g., when playing chords).
- All Notes: The gate sequencer is triggered by each new note pressed.
This provides unprecedented flexibility in creating rhythmic patterns.
- Effects section: The expanded and improved effects section includes:
- New phaser effect.
- New improved distortion/saturation effect.
- New bitcrusher model.
- Redesigned reverb effect.
- Redesigned delay effect.
These effects are integrated and optimized to work with the synthesizer, allowing you to give the sound volume, depth, and character directly in the plugin.
- Polyphony settings: The overall polyphony can be changed manually by the user (up to 128 voices), and additional reserve voices can also be set (up to 128). “Voice stealing” modes are available: hard “stealing”, soft “stealing”, or overlap mode, which gives full control over the behavior of the voices.
Sound Capabilities and Applications
T-Force Alpha Plus 2 is ideal for creating:
- Punchy basslines
- Melodic leads
- Rich pads
- Rhythmic sequences and arpeggios
- Atmospheric textures
Thanks to the flexibility of the Trance Gate, the plugin is an indispensable tool for creating the signature “pulsating” sound characteristic of many electronic music genres. New modulation and effects capabilities allow you to go beyond standard Trance sounds and experiment with unique timbres.
Compatibility
T-Force Alpha Plus 2 is available in VST format for 64-bit Windows systems.
T-Force Alpha Plus 2 from Mastrcode Music is more than just a synthesizer. It’s a complete studio for Trance and electronic music in one plugin, providing you with the tools to realize your boldest musical ideas. Try it and see for yourself!
