The stunning synth sounds in Vapor vary from instruments to noise beds, but stick with the theme of technology and futurism. Vapor is the ultimate "idea tool" to add some flavor to any track. All waveforms are "original material", and not some "knocked off" samples from the latest keyboard to hit the stores. Various methods such as vocoding, phase vocoding, granular synthesis, convolution, waveshaping, spectral resynthesis, and other traditional synthesis methods were employed to create the Vapor waveset.
Key features
- Over 2 Gigabytes of expertly programmed, original, Pads, Bass, Lead, Arp and Multis from award winning synth programmer Marc Van Bork.
- All sound shaping parameters are user adjustable in real-time using the included Native Instruments software.
- Various methods such as vocoding, phase vocoding, granular synthesis, convolution, waveshaping, spectral resynthesis, were employed to create the Vapor waveset.
- More powerful than most hardware synthesizers.
- Includes a special version of Kompakt Sampler from Native Instruments (plug-in or standalone) with Direct-from-Disk streaming for Mac and Windows.
