Designed For Music Creators, Not Coders

We designed Concept 2 for musicians, producers, composers, sound designers, post-production professionals who want to create sounds fast. Here are just some of the highlights of the benefits of creating sounds with Concept 2.

It’s all about the sound

Preset Heaven

With tons of great-sounding presets from top artists, including Roni Size, Richard Devine, and Kayla Painter, there’s every chance you’ll find a sound that works right out of the box. Cinematic lush pads, organic soundscapes, stirring strings, killer bass synths, screaming leads and more.

Presets Are Just The Start

Presets are a great starting point, but Concept 2 gives you access to almost limitless routing parameters to shape the sound. Use multiple sound sources, or load your own samples into the granular engine and combine with conventional oscillators.

Sound Manipulation Done Right

Routing and controlling modulation is a breeze in Concept 2, it’s as easy as dragging and dropping the connections; the creative colour coding means you can see modulation sources at a glance.

An Effects Powerhouse

When it comes to effects, then Concept 2 is no slouch.

With three slots and multiple effects, including; convolution reverb, delay and compressors, you can add even more dimension to your sound design. You can even filter stack and have multiple filters applied to the sound with multiple modulation sources applied.

Concept 1.2.0

New Filters, Drag & Drop FX Reordering, Added Presets, MIDI Learn and a new lower price!

New Filter types added

(Formant, 12db High Pass, 12db Low Pass, 24db Bandpass, 12db Bandpass)

Extend your creative palette with filters that mimic the human voice (Formant) or give you more control over shaping your sound. The new additions to the Ladder Filter (for High Pass, Low Pass and Bandpass) are all equipped with Drive, to push those aggressive synth sounds even further. Remember that these new filter types can also be used in the ‘Filter’ in the FX rack, giving you up to 4 filters run in series or parallel!

FX Rack Reordering with drag and drop

Simply grab the ‘double headed arrow’ in the corner of any FX rack, and drag upwards or downwards to change the routing of your FX on the fly! This is a fantastic way to explore Concept’s in-built FX and can produce some exciting and unexpected results at high speed.

Midi Learn added

Simply right click on any parameter and assign it to your MIDI controller from within Concept. You can also save and recall these mappings from the Menu. MIDI mappings are saved across presets and in your session, improving speed and flexibility of work.

Active/inactive states in Oscillator and FX rack UIs for improved workflow

Now it’s easier than ever to track what is happening in Concept. Any inactive section of the plugin (including all Oscillators and FX) will ‘grey out’, so you can quickly see at a glance what is affecting your sound.

Concept 1.1.0

To coincide with the Simple Concept launch, we’re pleased to introduce the first update to Concept: Alongside 55 additional new presets, including a collection by Matteo Milani (Unidentified Sound Object), Concept has been given a color-refresh with an all-new optional dark mode.
