With its sizeable arsenal of tempo-synced effects, Artillery 2 will have you armed to the teeth for your next live performance.
Artillery 2 is something unique: an 'effects keyboard'. Comprising a fairly extensive collection of processors, ranging from bog-standard filters and delays to advanced granular processing and even a vocoder, Artillery 2 sets itself apart from other effects plug-ins by enabling you to trigger its various effects via fully configurable zones on your MIDI controller. What's more, parameters can also be modified by tempo-synced modulators, including an envelope follower, LFO and ADSR.
Pros:
- Fantastically simple and intuitive interface.
- Unique concept.
- Tempo-synced modulation per parameter.
Cons:
- Results can seem ‘samey’.
- Difficult to push effects to extreme settings.
- Only one mod source per parameter.
Verdict:
Although there are better plug-ins available for straight-up effects processing, the novel concept of Artillery 2 makes it both fun and inspiring, and great for live work.
Rating: 4.5/5
