█ A revolution in synthesis! █
█ █
█ The award winning Gladiator gives you a █
█ groundbreaking approach to sound generation. Its █
█ exclusive HCM synthesis technique, covers new and █
█ unique aural territory, only possible with Gladiator. █
█ The innovative synthesis, design and unmatched sound █
█ quality, make this not only the perfect instrument, █
█ but also the best virtual synthesizer and go-to █
█ instrument for all those looking for the ultimate █
█ creative tool. █
█ █
█ Changes in v2.2 █
█ █
█ New: Midi learn support █
█ █
█ PC: Shift + strg/control + left mousebutton on a knob █
█ activates Midi learn mode. If Midi learn is activated █
█ the next incoming Midi controler command is assigned █
█ to the knob. The Midi learn configuration of all █
█ controlers is stored in an automatically generated █
█ file 'gladiatormidi.cfg' within the vst directory. If █
█ 'gladiatormidi.cfg' is deleted it automatically █
█ resets to the default assignments. █
█ █
█ New features, changes, fixes and improvements: █
█ █
█ Smoother overall sound with more 'analog hardware █
█ -like' feeling █
█ █
█ More punchy envelopes █
█ █
█ Drastically improved sound of Chorus and Ensemble █
█ effect. Replaced them with an 'analog modeled' █
█ version. █
█ █
█ Additional lowpass filter: LP Superfat █
█ █
█ New modifier: 'Time Delay' delays an oscillator █
█ spectrum █
█ █
█ New modifier: 'Pitch Harmonizer' stacks up to 16 █
█ additional harmonics to an osciallator spectrum █
█ █
█ New modifier: 'Pitch Octaver' stacks up to 8 █
█ oscillators which are tuned in octaves █
█ █
█ Improved Moog filter: Analog modelling with self █
█ oscillation support for high resonance █
█ █
█ Smoother filter sound: Comb+, Double Comb █
█ █
█ Improved LP 12dB Analog, BP 12dB Analog, HP 12dB █
█ Analog: More silky treble █
█ █
█ 35 additional sounds █
█ █
█ Reworked and resorted factory presets █
█ █
█ Slightly improved psychoacoustical processing █
█ █
█ Full version: User name is shown above preset browser █
█ █
█ Improved robustness against user errors and corrupt █
█ installations █
█ █
█ A warning is displayed if a user tries to register █
█ with the wrong keyfile █
█ █
█ Renamed filters: "Comb1"->"Comb+","Comb2"->"Double █
█ Comb" █
█ █
█ The hotkey 'm' resets the mod matrix (Note: Not all █
█ hosts support this) █
█ █
█ Gladiator banks (glb files) contain now up to 4096 █
█ presets █
█ █
█ Fixed a rarely appearing crash that could appear with █
█ certain system configurations (PC) █
█ █
█ Fixed a possible crash with Midi CC 121 █

█ Protection Notes █
█ ================ █
█ █
█ It's not everyday AiR feels the need to comment on a █
█ release but we believe some issues about Markus Feil █
█ need to be addressed for both legitimate users and █
█ the warez community. █
█ █
█ In our opinion Markus Feil's plugins are the █
█ equivilent to MALWARE, it is with disgust we find the █
█ elaborate (and futile!) measures he has taken within █
█ his code. █
█ █
█ When a developer starts dropping files and creating █
█ empty BOGUS registry keys, writing to a users host █
█ file etc. then they have crossed a line of ethics █
█ that is inexcusable. █
█ █
█ One could argue that warez users get what they █
█ deserve, however... warez uses ALWAYS choose to take █
█ a risk when they use warez. The legitimate user █
█ however gets exactly the SAME codebase and IF things █
█ go wrong they are subjected to the same MALWARE crap █
█ undeservedly. █
█ █
█ Furthermore, our release is BETTER than what legit █
█ users are getting because we have disposed of the █
█ MALWARE traps and HAVE ENABLED TWO EXTRA NEW HIDDEN █
█ expansions that legit users DON'T have and probably █
█ DON'T know about. █
█ █
█ NOTE TO Markus: you are tool, ppl may debate our █
█ ethics but WE DON'T infect and manipulate filesystems █
█ or registries, you're no better than a virus █
█ developer in our opinion. █
█ █
█ Stick to what you know cause your protection schemes █
█ are no match for us █
█ █
█ Some warez users like to go legit, it's hard to see █
█ them going legit with your plugins when the █
█ experience you give them results in piss poor MALWARE █
█ techniques. FUCK YOU! █
█ █
█ Here are some of the techniques Markus infects your █
█ machine with: █
█ █
█ - Registry scanning █
█ █
█ - Filesystem scanning █
█ █
█ - Creating bogus registry keys █
█ █
█ - File dropping █
█ █
█ - Multiple \system32\drivers\etc\host file updates █
█ █
█ - Deletion of files █
█ █
█ - Phone home notification █
█ █
█ - ExitWindowsEx calls (causes machine to shutdown) █
█ █
█ - DLL unpacked checks █
█ █
█ █
█ # Registry scanning... █
█ █
█ Markus has coded his plugins to look for other Tone2 █
█ and reFX registry entries, if blacklisted serials are █
█ found then his MALWARE is invoked. These include █
█ Firebird, FilterBank, Warmverb, Gladiator, Vanguard █
█ █
█ # Filesystem scanning... █
█ █
█ Markus has coded his plugins to look for other █
█ products keyfiles, if blacklisted keyfiles are found █
█ then his MALWARE is invoked. This includes FireBird, █
█ FilterBank, Warmverb, Gladiator █
█ █
█ # Bogus registry entries... █
█ █
█ Markus creates keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER █
█ █
█ at least two NEW keys with no data (not disclosing to █
█ protect privacy). if you have been subjected to the █
█ MALWARE traps check your registry, the keys will be █
█ obvious as the names are crap, make no sense and they █
█ have no data under them. █
█ █
█ # File dropping... █
█ █
█ Markus creates: █
█ █
█ twdef.sys █
█ █
█ wvdriver.sys █
█ █
█ r2._9X1.r █
█ █
█ gldriver.sys █
█ █
█ gsndrun.sys █
█ █
█ █
█ + about 4 other random file names (not disclosing to █
█ protect privacy) █
█ █
█ If your going to look for these files make sure you █
█ have turned off 'Hide protected operating system █
█ files' in explorer. Typically they are dropped in the █
█ same location as the Gladiator2 dll. █
█ █
█ # Update of hosts file... █
█ █
█ Markus updates the users host file with a massive █
█ list of warez, torrent and other site urls █
█ █
█ # Deletion of files... █
█ █
█ Markus deletes any blacklisted keyfiles from the █
█ users machine █
