    SuperTron SuperTron is a virtual analog synthesizer that generates sounds and sequences typical of the 70s and 80s, Dance, Trance, percussion, analog strings and other retro sounds. It has functions for live performance, allowing changes in several controls with one click. It has a Step Modulator with 4 "scenes" that work as sub-presets. The filters bring a feature called "wide" that splits frequencies in the stereo field. The "age" knob generates vintage warmth to the sound.

    Specifications:
    • 2 oscillators.
    • 2 envelope generators.
    • 2 filters with control of "Pan" (balance left/right) and "Wide" (panoramic frequency distribution).
    • 1 LFO with Synchronization pulsator and Mono-Poly trigger option.
    • "age" effect: it provides vintage warmth as specified year.
    • Standard Effects (reverb, chorus/flanger, delay, ECHO, Distortion).
    • 1 Step Modulator of 16 steps that includes:
      • 2 graphic control screens.
      • modulation of tone, pulse, volume and filters.
      • Handling of envelope trigger.
      • 4 scenes for each preset (means 4 subpresets).

    Vastaus is a high-end fixer.

    - Mac: AU and VST3

    - Windows: VST and VST3

    Version changelist:

    - 1.0.1 Added Input Gain compensation, increased Output Gain range, fixed some aliasing.


    Vastaus lives on instrument channels, buses and it is known to have been spotted on the master channel too. Feel free to use and abuse it. Try to add an EQ before Vastaus and push the highs way overboard and how Vastaus reacts.

    It is at it's most neutral at Input Gain and Tame at 0, at which time it brings down and blocks overly harsh high frequencies present in vocal esses, smooths cymbals, guitars and pretty much anything you throw at it.

    Increasing Tame brings enhances that effect, but also brings in more options with the React switch, as well as with the Bias setting. React is a mode, where Tame starts to let through some transients in a really interesting way, bringing out more detail and clarity, but still smoothing the sound. With Bias, you can further control the sound by limiting the effect to either the positive or negative side of the audio samples, generating harmonics in the process. I have heard this referred to as silky, and apparently some well-known hardware unit makers use a process similar to this.

    Lastly there is Gain. With the Input Gain, you control the overall signal boost you get going into the thing, while the Output Gain works as a pad, with 100% level adding no additional volume. Boosting the input gain can bring additional high end to the signal after taming it, which is especially useful with instruments such as the electric guitar. In conjunction with the use of the Bias knob, Vastaus can even act as a leveling tool, which also boosts and extends the high end frequencies far above where they ended in the original signal.

    Use the Wet knob to blend the changed signal with the original in whatever way you want.

    I got this and I like it lots. Basic, light and effective sampler. Minimalistic approaches are the bees knees.

    It does have a 60s flavor to it.
