LAUNCH! VAST Dynamics - Vaporizer2 - Hybrid Wavetable Additive / Subtractive Synthesizer / Sampler / Workstation

[vastdynamics]

Will this mean that there is a limit activations.

The license supports 10 activations. If that is not sufficient for you just let me know and we will fix that.

And i a way you make a account now, will there be a 'my account' on the website and will this system also be used to announce updates. (following this thread is my to know when their is an update).

Yes, there is an account stored on the servers. It is used to keep your serial number secure and available for later even if you have lost it. But it is not based on a website login. Instead its all e-mail based, which makes it more safe and secure.
You can enter your account here and will receive a mail with all the details: https://www.vast-dynamics.com/?q=license_information

Midi learn for wavetable editing, i must see this, when i have the time.

This is meant to link hardware midi controllers to the wavetable editor functions. It gives you some more control.

[vastdynamics]

Can one still buy it? I don't see it on your site shop.
Is Vaporizer 1 still being updated and maintained? Or has it been replaced by version 2, like Dune by its successors?

Actually I meant "maybe you want to give Vaporizer2 another chance" ... Vaporizer1 is out of maintenance. But all Vaporizer1 licenses are valid for 2 as well ...

Oh, I see...
Your pricing is rather generous

thanks for info about activations, always good to know.. in case of emergency etc...
i will migrate my license.

i already thought it would link midi controllers to the wavetable editor, i must see this, i meant want to experience it how it works, the workflow. i am not that of a midi learn man, mostly i use direct parameter control (automap, mcu, nektar panaroma p1 or push 2), but i am into tactile control (as if it is hardware), not always possible, or completely possible, when it is modular, or you can add effects, in a semi-modular way.
so i was curious how it will work.

installed the latest version and finally, my presets are where they belong... or the presets and my presets..
don't forget, for other users. to set it also in the "preset" tab.

Really like Vaporizer, and overall the updates have added some nice features and UI improvements. Haven't particularly given much thought yet regarding the new licensing scheme in the latest update, but about that Update Available pop-up window ...

Recently I've had some total DAW (Reaper 4.78 x 64) lock-ups (won't even accept keystrokes, must be killed by Windows 7 Pro x64 Task Manager). It took some serious time of frustrations and trouble-shooting, but I finally narrowed it down to projects with Vaporizer in it, and after a lot of trial and error (mainly enabling/disabling plugins on load), I found that it looks like Vaporizer's Update Available popup window is preventing any following insert plugins (compressor, metering, etc.) from loading properly, leading to the lock-up (trickier to diagnose as those following plugin UIs cover the pop-up window, and with keystrokes ignored, can't even uncover).

Can you look into this?

Ouch, is this with <=3.1.1 or 3.1.2? I have changed the notification to not being a popup anymore with 3.1.2 to prevent those problems. Could you upgrade to 3.1.2 and see if the same still happens? I will disable all these notifications until this is fixed. Thanks.

It was some version prior to 3.1.2, as downloading 3.1.2 was what I needed to do to subsequently prevent the Update Available message (along with the resulting DAW freeze). If the pop-up is no longer in 3.1.2, that's a good thing. Maybe it's already fixed then.

Glad to hear,

Today we have released the new version 3.1.3 of Vaporizer2.



Among many other changes here are the highlights:

• Support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE)
• Receive MPE MIDI dimensions (X/Y/Z) pitchbend, aftertouch (freely assignable), release velocity / lift (controlled via MSEG) and brightness / timbre (freely assignable) form supported controllers (e.g. ROLI Seaboard Block, ...) for highly expressive control options
• MPE mode and bend range stored per preset
• New modulation sources for MPE Timbre (MinMax, Min, Max)
• Major UI update
• New UI theme: Dark - we like it so much that we made it the new default for Vaporizer2
• Polyphonic real-time visualization of parameter modulations around modulatable knobs
• Polyphonic real-time visualization of modulation matrix curve values in the matrix section
• Polyphonic real-time visualization of wavetable position in wavertable perspective display
• Choose GUI font size - normal, smaller, larger
• New modulation drag sources directly in the tabstrips for MSEG1-5, LFO1-5, STEPSEQ1-3
• Several fixes, beautifications and CPU/performance improvements in the GUI

great update! all the details give you more feedback ánd MPE, yeah!

but is version 3.1.3.....

[vastdynamics]

Ha, is now corrected. Was too late yesterday night. Thanks.

a small detail. it is all in the detail. excellent implementation of MPE!

i am having fun!

I just stumbled upon this, I wasn't interested before because of the lack of MPE. Just playing around a bit, my first request would be to move the MPE bend range out of the preset and place it globally to the settings. My controller would not change, and playing pitch bends would elsewise need to adjust each and every preset. Most sense it would make to have a preset range for non MPE and global MPE channel in the preset and as default 48 in the global settings. Then I am sure its bending correctly always and the non MPE players still have their set range.
Btw I have to set the MPE PB range to 96 to be on 48, seems to be a bug...

P.S. as I am on a Macbook Air 11", I didn't see the global PB range, as the default size seems to be bigger than 100%...; - )

i have to disagree. for instance LION also stores the MPE pitchbend range in its preset.
this has a reason: glide can be used to modulate other things in LION, what vaporizer2, doesn't do (yet).
and for me it makes more sense to add to the MPE preset, instead of globally. (because more people use a "normal" keyboard, instead of a MPE controller or controllers..) and i don't always to have to do MPE (o in these times i most of the times do.....).

although i disagree, we are on KVR, there is nothing wrong to implement it in your way. this implementation, i like, as it now stands.

i am on windows, the default size too big, you can set the size with select size. and then you can drag it...

48 seems to me 48, but it can be me... will check it... but i am on windows, i doubt it will be different... or i didn't notice it...

As long I have access to the raw pitch bend data, I can abuse it in any way I want. If I define a pitch bend range, it is locked to a meaning (pitch). I define it in semi tones, and any MPE controller defines it as well (they need to match). And in addition you have the global range for the Channel 1 as well... I don't see any advantage but a million disadvantages for saving it with the preset... Maybe the wrong range setting is a Mac bug...

maybe i don't see it, but the MPE synths i have, most (didn't check tgem all) seem to save it with the preset. MPE pitchbend range.. and some don't have a global setting for it... and some do and store it per preset. perhaps a feature recquest that the global pitchbend can also be saved within the preset.
