VAST Dynamics have made Vaporizer2, their wavetable synthesizer available as a FREE open source download, donations are welcomed.
The heart of this plugin is the alias-free versatile high-performance wavetable sound engine with low system CPU resource usage.
Vaporizer2 comes with a 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. Featuring an easy-to use wavetable draw mode with smooth Bezier curves and snap to grid function.
Features include:
Includes 780+ wavetables and single cycles and 410+ factory presets.
Vaporizer2 features a comprehensive preset management system with tags, free text search, file system folder management and ratings.
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 â 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
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 â also simply via drag and drop
Record single cycle changes into a new wavetable
Oscillator pitch modulation and phase modulation with very fast modulations (up to ~ 2kHz)
30 real-time wavetable effects per oscillator including innovative algorithms for hard sync, sincify, brew and bend / bloat
Additive synthesis section that allows to freely edit all harmonics and phases in real-time
FM synthesis up to a chain of 4 oscillators
Sampler section (wav / aiff / ogg / mp3) with loop points, loop start modulation, zero crossing detection and key tracking
Granular synthesis mode in the sampler section for stunning ambient effects
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
11+ highly parameterizable effects including reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, bitcrush, eq, compressor, limiter, flanger, phaser, comb filter, waveshaper 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 â all with resonance
Very steep filter curves for punchy basses
Real-time filter response display
Comprehensive modulation system with powerful modulation matrix including graphical display of modulation curves
25 modulation sources including key track, random drift and four custom macro knobs
220(!) modulation destinations (modulatable parameters) for almost unlimited modulation combinations
Innovative audio routing system for all sound generators, filters and effect busses
Plus moreâŚ.
Vaporizer2 is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX).

This plugin adds a magical curve to your mixes and analog warmth using aliasing. UA couldnât afford to leave the mix amount knob in the freeware version though, because of magic code lines, worth the second kidney.
Any SocaLabs plugin is a current gem. I recommend Wavetable. These plugins are 100% compatible with Renoise, even with program switching! https://socalabs.com/synths/
We have a good video of âComposing Glovesâ. Take a look!
This seems to be the most powerful oscillator available so far. Zebra 3 will have multiple of these + filters and so on. In Zebralette you still have various filters thru the OSC fx.
It is quite a complex thing, but gives you a ton of new possibilities to explore. There also is a beta manual:
Whenever someone posts that up I get really excited about the possibility of free spectral plugins until I realize what it is. I feel like they couldâve called themselves something closer to what they actually made
Obviously thereâs nothing bad about free stuff, though. Sucks that they went under, I had never heard of them
FYI OsTIrus now is freely available, emulating Virus Ti2 and Snow 1:1 (emulating the actual chipset), maybe the best early 2000s digital workstation / VA next Radias and so on, having lot of fun with it. Nice, how they managed to find the sweetspots on allmost all the parameters.
I dumped the Rom of my Virus TI2 to use it with OsTIrus and compared it with the original hardware. I canât hear a difference. This is definitely the best Virus emulation i ever used.
