Charlatan is back in v2

We left Dominique Wurtz and his Charlatan VA synth in v1.4.1, he’s back this month this month under the name of BlauKraut Engineering and a beta v2.

Charlatan v2 has been deeply revamped, the developper rewrote the DSP engine so that the plug-in now uses about 50% less CPU ressources in polyphonic mode.

Here’s what you’ll find in Charlatan 2:

  • Subtractive polyphonic VA synthesizer
  • 2 oscillators with shape modulation, hard sync and ring modulation
  • Unison mode with up to 7 voices and stereo spread
  • Stereo noise generator
  • 2 ADSR envelope generators
  • LFO with tempo host sync
  • 3 types of filter modeled after classic hardware: 4-pôle 24 dB/octave and 2-pole 12dB/octave low-pass, band-pass
  • Monophonic, legato monophonic and 8-voice polyphonic modes
  • Built-in presets

The developer adds that most of the presets from v1 are compatible with this new version. Charlatan v2 is currently in beta 3, it is available in VST 32/64-bit format for Windows and you can download it for free from www.blaukraut.info.
