    VAST Dynamics has launched Vaporizer, an analogue/subtractive synthesizer plug-in for Windows and Mac.

    The intention of this development is to combine a fat virtual analog sound with low system CPU resource usage.
    And all this with an unbeatably low pice (factor 10 lower than usual synths in that category).

    Even though this synth basically follows a traditional subtractive analog synthesis model, we believe that is
    has it’s 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.

    Vaporizer features:
    - Innovative virtual analog synthesis model that allows an almost unlimited number of oscillators per voice (e.g. 96 saw-tooth oscillators).
    - 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.
    - More than 50 presets with many different styles.
    - Completely alias free oscillators (6 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)
    - Optimization will still continue

    OVERSAMPLING:
    - Switchable 4 times oversampling
    - SSE optimized

    OSCILLATORS:
    - Completely alias free (6 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 synth at a time (depending on your system)

    MODULATION MATRIX:
    - Comprehensive modulation matrix that allows altering of a huge variety of synth parameters based on internal and external signals and events
    - 9 inputs
    - Including modulation by external audio source
    - Envelope follower
    - Vocoder effects
    - 28 modulation parameters
    - More than 250 possible modulation combinations
    - Positive and negative modulation curves

    FILTERS
    - 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

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

    REVERB
    - Combined room / plate reverb with 4 times oversampling

    DELAY
    - Ping-pong delay for trance effects

    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

    LFO
    - Predefined modulation for VCA, VCF and pitch
    - Freely configurable via modulation matrix
    - Freely assignable on fractions of whole notes
    - Can be synched to midi clock and DAW time code
    - 6 alias-free LFO waveforms

    EQ
    - Integrated 8-band parametric EQ for instant tweaks and sound adjustments

    Interesting synth what do you think it is capable of in terms of comparisons to others?

    for its price its good but demos arent that much ''fat-analogue''.if cpu usage when u stack many oscs together along with oversampling is normal its a quite nice machine. also like the name ofit :bleh:

    Thanks for this.
    "low system CPU" ?
