Vaporizer2 Is A Hybrid Wavetable Synth With Low CPU Usage

VAST Dynamics has released Vaporizer2, a hybrid wavetable additive/subtractive VST/AU synthesizer and sampler workstation that is claimed to offer a high-performance wavetable sound engine with low system CPU resource usage.

Vast Dynamics Vaporizer2 features

• 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
• Three LFOs 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!
