Vaporizer

VAPORIZER is VAST Dynamics' first VST / AU synthesizer. The intention of this development is to combine a fat virtual analog sound, low system CPU resource usage and a low price.

Even though this synth basically follows a traditional subtractive analog synthesis model, it has its own character and sound that needs to be explored. A main focus was laid on modelling fat supersaw-like sounds with various unison and detune models.

VAPORIZER does not want to be smooth and gentle. It has sharp edges and can also be brutal. Check it out.

New features and presets will be added in the next versions in a compatible way. Obtained licenses will of course remain valid for all future versions of the product.

GENERAL PRODUCT Features:

• Innovative virtual analog synthesis model that allows an almost unlimited number of oscillators per voice (e.g. 96 saw-tooth oscillators).
• Available as 32-bit and native 64-bit versions in VST / VST3 and AU format on Windows and Mac OS X.
• Three modes - 16 and 4 voice polyphony plus monophonic mode.
• Full stereo – all generators, effects and chains.
• Full effect bank with high quality oversampling effects (distortion, chorus, delay, reverb, comb filter and parametric EQ).
• Old school UI with real analog feeling.
• Everything at sight – no hidden tabs or menus.
• Eye-catching retro-style oscilloscope for immediate visual feedback.
• Monophonic and polyphonic portamento in all modes including ARP.
• Polyphonic aftertouch.
• More than 110 presets with many different styles (more are continuously added in new versions).
• Patch randomization function.
• Dual LFO with cross modulation.
• Completely alias free oscillators (7 different waveforms).
• Up to 97 parallel oscillators per voice (4 unison / detune banks with max 24 plus 1 noise oscillator).
• 16 voice polyphony with a maximum number of 1552 oscillators per plug-in at a time.

PERFORMANCE AND CPU:

• Critical path is SSE vectorized (parallel processing).

OVERSAMPLING:

• Switchable 4 times oversampling.
• SSE optimized.

OSCILLATORS AND ENVELOPES:

• Completely alias free (7 different waveforms).
• Up to 97 parallel oscillators per voice (4 unison / detune banks with max 24 plus 1 noise oscillator).
• With 16 voice polyphony this means a maximum number of 1552 oscillators per plug-in at a time (depending on your system).
• Four envelope generators.
• Envelope mode option to choose between virtual analog / capacitive, digital and linear envelope models.
• Complex attenuation model to ensure a homogeneous output level when stacking and detuning multiple oscillators.

MODULATION MATRIX:

• Comprehensive modulation matrix that allows altering of a huge variety of synthesizer parameters based on internal and external signals and events.
• 9 inputs. 8 slots.
• Including modulation by external audio source.
• Envelope follower.
• Vocoder effects.
• ~50 modulation parameters.
• More than 3600 different modulation combinations.
• Positive and negative modulation curves.

FILTERS:

• Fully flexible filter routing - freely definable signal pass, change sequence of filter banks and arbitrarily define signal sums (including ring modulation).
• Full stereo filters with minimal attack/release times of only a few milliseconds.
• Stereo Massberg-style 2nd order resonant LPF.
• Stereo Korg MS20-style 2nd order resonant HPF filter.
• Stereo Roland-TB 303-style 8 pole resonant diode ladder filter.

DISTORTION:

• Fuzz waveshaper with 4 times oversampling.
• Parameters can be modulated by modulation matrix.

CHORUS:

• Roland-style multi stereo chorus with 6 oscillators and 4 times oversampling.

• Parameters can be modulated by modulation matrix.

REVERB:

• Combined room / plate reverb with 4 times oversampling.

• Parameters can be modulated by modulation matrix.

DELAY:

• Ping-pong delay for trance effects.

• Parameters can be modulated by modulation matrix.

ARPEGGIATOR:

• Brutally analog sounding VCA arpeggiator based on a transpose, gate, velocity, hold model.
• More than 12 arpeggiator / sequencer patterns (more to be added in next versions).
• 4 different arpeggiator modes (polyphonic, up, down, up/down).
• Freely assignable on fractions of whole notes.
• Can be synched to MIDI clock and DAW time code or can be free running.

LFO:

• Dual LFO, LFOs can modulate each other.
• Predefined modulation for VCA, VCF and pitch.
• Freely configurable via modulation matrix.

• 7 alias-free LFO waveforms.

EQ:

• Integrated 8-band parametric EQ for instant tweaks and sound adjustments.
• Multiband processing - route lower frequencies in mono and bypass effect banks to preserve a high quality low end of the sound.
