As DAW I used FL Studio, without a problem it could find the 64 bits version of Heatup2 right away. Yet Heat Up 2 is a different approach featuring 28 Skins and lets you customize the GUI Colour seamlessly. In my opinion, the interface is akin to that of Nexus at first sight, with a central display and effects below. The first good thing while using Heatup2 is high quality in presets, and the great possibilities on tweaking with Fx part in 2 pages on the middle “LCD screen”, and secondly for other features we have a sequencer, an Eq, a Gate part, and settings with themed GUIs which are interesting so that the user can find visually each plugin inside the DAW. What is really great is the fast save part where the user can create categories and new presets in a few seconds. The banks are available in separate menus in the Browse menu, or altogether (All). If you select the Heatup 2 folder this did not work, then selecting Heatup2/Instruments was the right folder for the presets scan. There are a lot of expansions available on Ignite VST site, and I installed these banks: KUSH LAB, EDM MONSTERS, 808 MASSACRE 1&2.Īfter installation, the plugin finds the new presets added in Heatup2/Instruments folder. HEAT UP2 is including RnB Essentials Expansion Pack, with 500 Factory Instruments, 580 Unique Presets, for a total of 16 GB. The makers have an impressive catalog of expansions for this PC/Mac plugin, and we’ll see a few of these expansions too.

Launched back in 2015, this tool has become popular among beat producers, being a good alternative to other more expensive tools like Nexus, Massive, or even Sylenth. Heat Up 2 is an easy-to-use virtual instrument loaded with powerful effects and tons of sound presets perfectly suitable for Hip Hop beatmakers. This time I am glad to test and review the Heat Up 2 virtual instrument by Ignite VST, a fantastic Rompler with useful ideas inside.
