A Powerful Organic Synthesizer Fused With Natural, Urban & Environmental Samples
In a world full of virtual instruments, “BioTek 2” was designed to be different from the ground up.
Not only is the engine more capable than existing offerings, but the choice to use natural and environmental samples gave the instrument its unique character.
The user interface was designed to allow rapid access to inspirational parameters via macro controls on the main ‘Wild’ page whilst also presenting access to the deep editing environment.
Extensive modulation and modifier routes are intuitively assigned and all parameters are available for DAW automation.
Dive into the weird and wonderful immersive world of BioTek.

Get Inspired By BioTek 2’s Incredible Sound Manipulation Tools & Easy To Use Interface
BioTek 2’s Wild user interface is designed to place a wide range of sound sculpting tools right at your fingertips.
Rather than a confusing mix of menus and layers, the 20+ controls on the Wild interface give you the ideal set of variable parameters for each sounds.
The Edit pages let you dive much deeper into the synthesis engine and offer lots of parameters to control nearly everything.
The deep sound creation possibilities include four sound layers with four oscillators that offers the typical analog waveforms and granular sample playback, extensive frequency modulation and a separate white and pink noise generator.
Followed by two serial multimode filters and a drive module, and a four-band equalizer with shelf and bell curves.
Spinal Saw Oscillator
The unique ‘Spinal Saw’ oscillator allows you to have up to 11 detuned sawtooth waves within a single oscillator. Considering BioTek features 4 oscillators per voice, this gives you a total of 44 sawteeth per sound layer – and you can have unlimited sound layers per patch.
Perfect for making thick leads, huge pads and rumbling synth basses – unleash the beast!
Granular Oscillator
The BioTek 2 granular oscillator extracts sound grains from the sample of your choice and redistributes them into dense clouds, scattered drops or any density in-between. This allows you to create everything from uniquely textured musical instruments to otherworldly soundscapes.
The oscillator itself provides a useful visual reference for how the grains relate to the source sample, showing playback position and pitch relationships. The BioTek 2 granular oscillator brings a mighty storm surge of synthesis to an already powerful engine.
Deep Parameter Control
BioTek’s unlimited engine can scale to literally tens of thousands of parameters so managing the workflow is key. The intuitive system for importing your own samples and promoting parameters to the main ‘Wild’ macro page allows you to quickly construct your own instrument.
The customizable ‘Wild’ page macro controls are immediately accessible to your DAW automation and new in version 2 is the ability to also access the entire parameter list from the deep editing pages. You have unprecedented control over all the instruments sound shaping tools.
Surgical Precision
No synthesizer is complete without a comprehensive filtering and effects section. BioTek has a full complement of both – 9 high quality effects can be loaded into 4 effect slots per voice allowing for extensive creative sound shaping.
Filtering is also extremely flexible with numerous types to choose from, now including Transistor Ladder and Sallen-Key in BioTek 2 – sculpt your sound with surgical precision.

What People Think About 80% off “BioTek 2” by Tracktion
-
"If you love sound design, this is definitely one virtual instrument that you shouldn’t pass up, as it is one incredible synth plugin. Even if you don’t consider yourself much of a preset designer, you could just work with the included presets and use the many macros (and the BioTek 2 Ring) to get some amazing sounds without much effort on your part."

It’s insane, it’s perfect, it’s worth having, it’s deep, it’s a good design, it sounds great, and the interface is great
David – :
Obviously great price deal from VSTbuzz, and the downloading and installation from the Tracktion site went smoothly. I am just getting into the synth, which is quite nice, apart from the VERY slow preset loading via Mac beachball for 10-30 seconds, though it could be due to running it on my late 2015 iMac (though not really a problem with any other plugin synths, -1 star). I do have a support ticket in for that. Otherwise, really enjoying the flexible MPE setups that are possible.

If you slept on this deal you missed an AMAZING deal on a badass synth. As always, a super easy transaction via VST Buzz. I need to stay off this damn site. Wearing out my bank account 😉
Matthew – :
This is a great synth. It may take a little time to get used to the UI, but the sounds and functionality are great.
