IVOR2 is microtonal subtractive synth for learning about sound synthesis and musical instrument intonation (microtuning and xenharmonics).

IVOR2 embodies a design philosophy of simplicity for microtonal music sound-design:

• A knob-less design primarily featuring slider controls, which enables intuitive direct control with a computer mouse.
• A dedicated control signal system mapped to the most important synthesis functions.
• Settings are made by typing values into fields, dropdown lists, left-and-right arrows, switches and sliders.
• Enables musicians to specify precise microtonal pitch-bend settings.
• Features arbitrary microtonal oscillator transposition settings.
• MIDI-CC modulation of harmonics enables dynamically playing harmonics of the fundamental pitch.
• 2 Oscillators with 22 Waveforms.
• Microtonal, Cents-Based Oscillator Transposition.
• Per-Oscillator Analog Pitch Drift Emulator.
• Phase & Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Range Sliders.
• 9 dedicated Modulation Generators (MOD-GEN), featuring an ADSR and Graphic Envelope Generator, and an LFO that can be switched to run at Audio-Rate, which are for modulating Phase (FM), Pulse-Width, XFM, Pitch, Filters and Amplitude (VCA).
• MIDI-CC-to-Harmonics Modulation enables oscillators to dynamically sound harmonics of the fundamental pitch.
• Oscillator Mixer for setting relative oscillator volumes, Cross-Fade Modulation (XFM) and Ring Modulator (RM).
• Cross-Fade Modulation (XFM) Mode with six directional options for cross-fading between the two oscillators, including Sum (XFM bypass).
• Pre-Filter Saturation Stage with 20 Saturation Types.
• 2 Independent Filters with Six Filter Types: LP4, LP2, HPF, BPF, BRF, APF.
• 1 and 2 Stage Filter Cascade.
• Parallel and serial order routing.
• Unipolar and Bipolar Filter Modulation Modes.
• Full controller MIDI Pitch Microtuning with MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard).
• MTS support for both Single Note and Bulk Dump: Loads MTS microtuning format files internally and receives MTS externally.
• Patch (per-patch) and Global Microtuning (static microtuning for all patches).
• Microtunings can be loaded from any directory on hard drives or storage devices connected to the PC.
• Partials file loader for patch-level partial retuning of MOD-GEN Audio-Rate Oscillators.
• Modulation Effects include Chorus and two Phaser types.
• MIDI: 12 Note Polyphonic, Monophonic Legato Mode, Monophonic Portamento, Microtonal Pitch Bend, Vibrato.
• Ensemble: Tone Filters, Stereo Ensemble.
• Delay: Stereo Delay effect.
• 118 Factory Patches by Xen-Arts and Sevish.
• 148 MTS Microtunings.
• 91 Partials TXT Files for Audio-Rate Oscillator Modulation.
• Instruction Manual.
