" VAST Dynamics Vaporizer2 Is Now A FREE Download

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 – 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, convolute, time>frequency, frequency>time 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
  • 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 – 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 more….

Vaporizer2 is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX).

Not sure if already mentioned, but this C64 SID plugin actually seems to use the reSID library and thus should be very accurate:

Get a UAD plugin for free in return of your data and left kidney:

This plugin adds a magical curve to your mixes and analog warmth using aliasing. UA couldn’t afford to leave the mix amount knob in the freeware version though, because of magic code lines, worth the second kidney.

I am very surprised by these totally free plugins from Venn Audio. Totally recommendable! :hushed:

Any SocaLabs plugin is a current gem. I recommend Wavetable. These plugins are 100% compatible with Renoise, even with program switching!

We have a good video of “Composing Gloves”. Take a look!

I just downloaded this a few weeks ago. Love it. But I love all of the Full Bucket stuff.

In case you didn’t notice, there now is the Zebralette 3 public beta available:
https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=607153

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:

New day, new clipper, this time maybe quite interesting with a “dynamic mode” or so. What do you think about it?

Dunno about the quality, but this company seizes to exist and have made their plugins freeware;

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 could’ve called themselves something closer to what they actually made :smiley:

Obviously there’s 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.

Like @ffx said: Virus TI Emulation for free.

Now there’s a free Access Virus Emulator Osirus Downloads | DSP56300 Emulation Blog

Oh and you need a ROM: DBWBP.com - Synthesizer ROM archive

I dumped the Rom of my Virus TI2 to use it with OsTIrus and compared it with the original hardware. I can’t hear a difference. This is definitely the best Virus emulation i ever used.

Yes, but it is not an emulation, but instead the exact processor/algorithms, so 1:1 the same output as the hardware.

After 4 years of development, i finally released my new flagship synth T-Force Zenith.

You can find all infos on my website and can download it for free:

Have fun with it!

Very cool, and congrats for the hard work. But where is the macos version??!?

Here a freeware clone of Sonnox Oxford Inflator (not really more than a specific waveshape):

I have no idea why this needs oversampling, but might be even better than the original then.
