Check Out the Sounds of Cloudmax 2
Experience the capabilities of Cloudmax 2 with these exclusive samples. Each sound has been crafted using Cloudmax 2’s advanced filters, texture controls, reverb algorithms, and other powerful features. Hear how this effect unit transforms basic sounds into extraordinary audio.
A Symphony of DSPs
Inspired by classic shimmer effects and harmonizer units, Cloudmax 2 integrates over 10 advanced DSP modules into a single plugin. It includes four granular engines, two reverb algorithms, tape emulation, filters, and a smart randomizer for instant creative sound effects!
Advanced Sound Design
Cloudmax 2 introduces a new way to shape your sounds with the Advanced view! While the Front view allows for quick and easy tweaks, the Advanced view gives you access to all 45 controls for comprehensive sound exploration. Switch between views to fine-tune your sounds!
The Heart of Texture
Cloudmax 2 doubles the grain engine, offering 4 layers for creating sophisticated granular textures. The upgraded pitch system even allows chord creation from a single sound. Control every aspect of your textures, from pitch shifting and grain panning to density and more.
Triple Reverb Engine
Featuring three stunning algorithmic reverbs: “Stratus” from Cloudmax 1, the new “Cirrus” and “Wash” Inspired by cloud types, Stratus offers colorful, analog-style reverb, while Cirrus provides a delicate sound with super long tails. The new Wash reverb blurs textures before they hit the main reverb units, enhancing your creative options. The new Advanced view lets you fine-tune all the DSP reverb options at once.
Expanded Sound Shaping
Refine your sound with Cloudmax 2’s advanced filtering and equalization. Built-in ladder low-pass and high-pass filters, along with low and high boost EQ, allow you to tailor your textures precisely. Cloudmax 2 also features stereo control and a new glue compressor!
Inspiring UI Skins
Cloudmax 2 offers a versatile visual experience with four distinct skins. In addition to the sleek, modern default look, users can choose from the nostalgic Legacy Skin, the artistic Concept Art skin featuring a unique handwritten design, and the vibrant Summer Skin, perfect for inspiring sunny, seasonal vibes in your creative sessions.
Expansive Preset Library
Cloudmax 2 comes with an expansive library of 170 presets. It features over 60 artist presets tailored for instruments, keys, bass, vocals, and both conventional and experimental soundscapes. Additionally, you get access to all 110 time-tested presets from Cloudmax 1.

- What a beauty…a forward-thinking, powerhouse sound-design tool. Karayni call it a texture-resonator. Yup, it’s all that. And even more, in my workflow, I’d call it a time saving, on-the-spot vibe enhancer. Dave Gnozzi led me to this, and you can bet it’ll be in most of my projects from here on out. Karanyi Sounds…Bam!
