Applied Acoustic Systems has announced the long-awaited Version 2 upgrade to the Chromaphone Synth and is celebrating this release with a special introductory price of $149 (MSRP $199) and is also including the Synbiosis sound bank FREE of charge until April 12th.

Chromaphone 2 is a synthesizer which uses acoustic resonators to create drums, percussion, mallet, string, and other unique instruments. Drumheads, bars, marimbas, plates, strings, and tubes are combined into pairs and played by a configurable mallet and a flexible noise source.

It ships with a new streamlined interface, a new equalizer and compressor module, a new multi-effect processor, a new drumhead resonator, and more. The factory library has been completely redesigned and includes signature presets by artist and sound designer Sean Divine, Thiago Pinheiro, Daniel Stawczyk, and Christian Laffitte.

There is nothing quite like Chromaphone with its mix of acoustic modeling and synth-like features. Its sonic palette is remarkable and it reproduces the feel and responsiveness of real-life acoustic instrument.

Chromaphone 2 is available on the DontCrack Store at the introductory price of ONLY $149 (List $199) and includes the Synbiosis sound bank FREE of charge until April 12th.
