Waves Element 2.0 Virtual Analog Synth

Analog synthesizers are all about a warm, sweet, lustrous sound quality. They’re also about the experience: hands-on control, with a straightforward interface that invites quick tweaking.

With integrated effects, a 16-step sequencer, MIDI Learn for all controls, multipoint touch response, and a massive preset library, Element 2.0 captures the feel, not only the sound, of classic analog synthesizers.

Analog Sound Quality Above All

The smooth, shiny, organic sound of hardware analog synthesizers sets a standard that other software synths struggle to attain. Element 2.0 captures the hallowed analog sound, with unerring accuracy and warmth.

Easy Tweaking: All Controls in One Window

The clear signal flow encourages tweaking existing presets, and also, creating your own. There’s no menu-hopping or confusion— like a hardware synth’s front panel, all parameters are grouped logically in a single window.

Hundreds of Presets

429 presets showcase Element’s versatility. Thundering basses, cutting leads, dancing arpeggios, classic polysynths, special effects, snappy sequences—they’re all here, from dance floor favorites to futuristic sound design.

MIDI Learn for Easy Control

Not only are all parameters controllable via MIDI, but MIDI Learn makes it super-easy to assign mod wheels, footpedals, knobs, and other control surface controllers. Click Learn, move the control—done.

Effective Effects, Super Sequencing

In addition to the superlative synthesis engine, Element 2.0 includes an effects suite—delay, reverb, distortion, bitcrusher, chorus, and EQ. Also, sequence and arpeggiate with the 16-step, analog-style sequencer.
