VA-1000

The VA-1000 is a 16-voice polyphonic virtual analog synthesizer designed for classic subtractive synthesis with modern enhancements. It features a rich oscillator section (including an Ultrasaw oscillator inspired by the famous Supersaw/Hypersaw waveforms), versatile dual oscillators with sync and ring modulation, a flexible multimode filter with unique filter FM capabilities, and comprehensive modulation options (envelopes, LFO with fade-in/out, velocity sensitivity, etc.). High-quality built-in effects (Chorus, Delay, Reverb with ducking) are provided for polished, spacious sound. All of this is presented in an optimized one-page interface – every control is available on a single screen for a fast workflow with no menu-diving.

Key Features:

• Ultrasaw Oscillator (Supersaw/Hypersaw): A special multi-saw oscillator inspired by the Roland JP-8000 Supersaw, Access Virus Hypersaw, and Nord Lead 3 techniques. It can generate up to 9 detuned sawtooth waves for huge, ensemble textures. (When set to 7 voices, it engages a JP-8000 authentic mode with the original detune characteristics.).
• Multimode Analog Filter with FM: A resonant filter with multiple modes (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, peak, etc., including a Moog-style 24 dB mode). A unique "LP FM 12" mode applies audio-rate frequency modulation to the filter cutoff, and the Drive knob in this mode increases FM depth along with saturation for dramatic timbral effects.
• Deep Modulation & Performance: Three ADSR envelopes (for amp, filter, and pitch) and a flexible LFO (8 waveforms including Sample & Hold and a Nord Lead-inspired triple-peak shape) allow extensive modulation of sound parameters. Additional features like oscillator hard sync, ring modulation with selectable sources, chord memory (with 24 chord types), portamento, and velocity sensitivity provide expressive control.
• Built-in FX Processors: Studio-quality stereo Chorus (3 modes), Delay (with tone shaping), and Reverb (with pre-delay, damping, and an optional ducking feature to keep mixes clear) are integrated, eliminating the need for external effects for most sounds.
• Authentic VA Sound Architecture: Powered by an advanced C++ DSP engine, the VA-1000 delivers up to 16-voice polyphony with massive unison and chord-stacking capability, exceeding 500 active oscillators in complex patches. Its design draws inspiration from iconic synths such as the Roland JP-8080, Virus TI2, Nord Lead 3, Alpha Juno 2, SH-101, and Juno-106. The tone engine combines JP/Alpha/CE-300 chorus depth, Virus TI2 and JP-8080 style unison layering, a Lexicon 480L-inspired reverb, and asymmetric analog drive for aggressive, musical warmth, capturing the essence of vintage VA sound with modern power and precision.
