In addition, two oscillators plu subosc per voice, sync, mono and polyphonic modes, keyboard tracking, and 3 envelope curve types. And with a super low CPU footprint that lets you layer many mantis sounds without breaking a sweat.
Mantis307 was created for raw acidic sound design!

What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fixes a bug where the hard-clip distortion was overflowing the audio output. This may affect projects that were using this setting to overload an effect farther down the chain. Adjustment of the settings should be able to regain the original sound however.
