What is FX2? FX2 is a sound processing system. It's not a program to apply sound
effects, but a professional, fully customisable, personal sound processing laboratory.

FX2 is a sound generator. You can create completely new sounds and virtual instruments
using additive synthesis, filtering, frequency modulation, granular synthesis and a
range of other cool techniques.

FX2 is an effects processor. Using FX2 you can apply a wide range of standard effects
such as filters, reverb, phase, duration changing, vibrato, chorus, pitch changing,
vocoders and many more. But with FX2 the built-in effects are just the start because
you can build and save completely new effects as new FX2 tools.

FX2 is a musicians tool. FX2 is a great tool for musicians who want to go beyond midi.
You can build new virtual instruments and play them in real time or under the control
of a built-in sequencer or percussion controller. 

FX2 is a virtual synthesiser. In fact FX2 lets you build virtual synthesisers to your
own specifications.

FX2 works in real time. Build effects and virtual instruments and control them using
midi keyboards, on-screen windows or a PC joystick.

FX2 is a more productive sound editor. FX2 is more productive than traditional sound
editing tools where you have to select and apply each effect manually one after the
other. FX2 lets you build and save custom effects which can be applied to sounds in
a single step.
