can i reproduce granular effect or stereo expander effect (wider sounds) at some point?
thx

All generators and fx in Vaporizer2 are stereo and can be panned. Oscillator unison detune can be spread for wide stereo using the spread knob. Others than that I would leave to separate plugins to use in your daw mix.
Granular synthesis as such is not planned. But lets see.

Vaporizer2 - update to version 2.3.4 (May 4th 2019) - change log:

• Two additional colour schemes and skins: IceCubes and BloodTech!
• New feature: change the sequence of effects within FX bus
• New feature: perpective wavetable display (right mouseclick on wavetable display)
• New feature: sync gridlines for LFOs and step sequencers
• New feature: drag and drop MIDI file (.mid) to arpeggiator
• Fixed chorus effect
• Stability and UI improvements
• Several bug fixes in the sound engine, step sequencers DAW sync and wave table generators
• Now including 172 factory presets
• Now including 642 high-quality wavetables and single cycle waveforms

You know, I must say... I'm far from being an expert on these things, but I really do like the sound of this synth!
Was creating a warped sqaure bass type thingy, and the wave going through a rezd filter just sounded so nice. Quite different to the other synths I'm currently using.

Anyway, a small question or request or whatever:
You know when you draw a sequence of wave tables, and then scan through them using the WTpos?
Well it doesn't seem like a smooth transition.

For example. lets say you got 4 cycles in your wavetable, and you scan through them with the WTpos. So 1% to 100% on the WTpos means that wave 2 should be at 25%.
Well, what I would usually expect to happen, is that as i start scrolling through the wavetable from 1%, the wave immediately starts warping to the next wave, and when it gets to 25% I would hear the clean version of wave 2, but only for a very brief moment, before it immediately starts warping to wave 3.

Well what Vaporizer does, is leave the waveform sitting on wave 1, until you get to 25%, and then it slowly starts warping to the next.
This means that you can't create a fluid warp between cycles, because there is always static areas where the waveform isn't changing.

So, is there anything that can be done about this?
Or am i maybe approaching this the wrong way?

Hello there and thanks for the great feedback. Well, of course a fluid transition between wavetable cycles is absolutely key for a wavetable synth. This is why vaporizer does interpolation between wavetable positions in multiple ways with the goal to smoothly crossfade between them if that is desired. This process is controlled by the morph parameter in the oscillator section. If morph is set to full interpolation is smoothest. If you set it to 0 it will rather stepwise move between wavetable positions. Could this be the solution for what you noticed?

Yes I think you're right (well, you're obviously right, because you made the synth), so I'll have a look later.
Honestly i couldn't even figure out what the morph knob was for, so I'm pretty sure you just fixed my problem.
Thanks

today i just downloaded it and started to play with and got to say i love how much control i have over the shape of waveform both mathematically and also the free hand control over the shape

BUT.....I have a request \/ criticism

i hate it when the vst takes the attention of the space-bar and dosent allow me to pause my track and have to get out of it first and then pause it..

ITS DAMM ANOYING....
hope so you will see to this...
and best of luck for the future development..

EDIT: i am using REAPER latest(if this thing is occurring to reaper then thats a different thing)

Jupp, this has been reported a couple of times already as an issue. Unfortunately I have not found a solution yet. It seems that VSTs can take over keyboard control either completely or not at all - at least in most DAWs. And Vaporizer2 has keyboard hot keys for e.g. the wavetable editor. Will continue to look into that.

The Vapo2 has been warezed. Try to consider making a different protection method.

The simple serial is the only reason he got my money.

Maybe he could do something what UHE did . something to do with timed payload or other stuff

Edit. Here is the link

Any way to disable those and have them as options
Or dropdown menu??its seriously annoying and it shure does kill my workflow and mood

The people who download this stuff are not gonna buy his synth because he decided to go ilok.
They will just download something else.
I know, because I used to be one of these people

Believe me, even dongled stuff can be cracked, if it's popular enough.

Personally, I think he done things perfectly. Both price and protection (I even pay for upgrades sometimes)

Yes, i will add an option to disable hotkeys.

Difficult topic. I take it as a challenge: I try to deliver a product that is so good that these people get convinced to use it longterm and then finally buy a license to do that legally. Let‘s see if that works.
