VAST Dynamics Vaporizer2 v3.1.2 [WIN]
Vaporizer2 is our flagship hybrid wavetable additive / subtractive VST/AU synthesizer / sampler workstation. The intention of this development is to create an alias-free versatile high-performance wavetable sound engine with low system CPU resource usage.
HIGHLIGHTS
- State-of the art wavetable engine with four independent alias-free wavetable oscillator banks with up to 24 oscillator unison
- Low system CPU resource usage – even with more than 1.000 oscillators playing
- Groundbreaking wavetable editor with a vast number of editing possibilities including frequency shift, smooth, clean, bend and bloat for single-cycles, parts of single-cycles or even whole wavetables
- Easy-to use wavetable draw mode with smooth Bezier curves and snap to grid function
- Mix-in, amplitude modulate, interpolate or normalize wavetable cycles
- Generate FM, PWM, harmonic morphed / reduced, low pass / high pass / band pass / comb / formant filtering and even hard sync wavetables out of an arbitrary single cycle waveform
- Morphing and phase shifting of wavetable cycles
- Import and change standard (Serum, Icarus) format wavetables – also simply via drag and drop
- Additive synthesis section that allows to freely edit all harmonics and phases in real-time
- Sampler section (wav / aiff / ogg / mp3) with loop points, loop start modulation and key tracking
- Resample samples to wavetables with pitch detection
- Intelligent polyphonic portamento / glissando (you need to hear it!)
- Mono legato mode or polyphonic 4 / 16 voice modes
- Three effects busses including 4 x oversampling and mono cutoff to preserve a clean low end
- 10+ highly parameterizable effects including reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, bitcrush, eq, compressor, limiter, flanger, phaser, comb filter and more
- All effect times and durations can be synced to DAW
- State of the art filter section (30+ different types) with 4 x oversampled LPF (biquad, state variable and diode ladder implementations) plus high pass, all pass, band pass, notch, shelf, comb and scream filters – all with resonance
- Very steep filter curves for punchy basses
- Real-time filter response display
- Innovative audio routing system for all sound generators, filters and effect busses
- Five freely editable MSEG envelopes with loop function
- Five LFOs (per voice – means up to 80 LFOs in total) with smooth generation optimized for lowest frequencies with ramp and phase that can be set per voice or global – can be synced to the DAW
- Built-in arpeggiator that is freely editable and supports polyphonic modes and hold
- Three step sequencers that can be synced to the DAW
- All parameter knobs / sliders automatable
- Comes with a daily growing number of presets – free regular updates on the website
- Easy to use and intuitive user interface that is freely scalable and resizable even up to 4k and more with many drag and drop features
- Life-long free update policy!
- Plus: the sound is stunning!
New in version: 3.1.2 (August 28th 2020)
– Improved Windows installer that allows to change folders for presets, wavetables and noises and it stores the selection for later updates
– Installer now detects CPU support for SSE2 / AVX vector extensions and suggests installation option
– New standard licensing system based on serial numbers (all existing licenses remain untouched) – read more here and here
– MIDI program change now freely definable across four banks (A-D) in the preset editor
– MIDI learn also for wavetable editor GUI functions to allow wavetable editing with MIDI controllers
– UI fixes in the frequency bin / harmonics editor
– Stability improvements, e.g. fix for issue with Cubase 10
Available formats: VST2 / VST3 plugins and a standalone version Windows.
Hardware requirements: CPU that supports AVX or SSE2 (Intel or AMD), 1GB RAM, Windows 8/10 (32/64bit)
