A flexible engine with serious character
At its core, Odin 2 is a 24-voice polyphonic synth designed for sound designers who want options. You can work with classic analog-style waveforms, load or draw custom shapes, and route them
through high-quality filter models inspired by legendary hardware designs such as ladder and vintage transistor-style filters. These filters are a standout, capable of everything from smooth, musical sweeps to aggressive resonance and distortion.
The synthesis engine supports multiple oscillator types and flexible routing, allowing Odin 2 to cover subtractive, hybrid, and experimental territory with ease. It’s just as comfortable handling warm, vintage-inspired patches as it is pushing into modern, digital sound design.
Modulation, effects, and endless depth
Odin 2 truly shines when it comes to modulation. With a powerful modulation matrix, multiple envelopes, LFOs, and extensive routing options, almost any parameter can be animated. This makes evolving pads, rhythmic textures, and expressive performance patches easy to build without fighting the interface.
To finish things off, Odin 2 includes five onboard effects, letting you shape, widen, and polish sounds directly inside the synth.
From subtle enhancement to full sound destruction, the FX section makes Odin 2 feel complete as a production-ready instrument rather than just a raw synth engine.
