East West ProSamples Platinum Vapor Synth Module SoftSynth (Macintosh and Windows)

Product Description

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. award winning Programmer Marc Van Bork has worked on a wide range of film and multimedia projects, so he knows what synth sounds composers need to add the right blend of powerful synth rhythms and evolving ethereal synth beds to their track.
