Vascular - Tactile Synth

Vascular is a canvas-based electroacoustic instrument. Create sound generators and processors by touching the canvas, then connect them to build the signal path. Moving a node changes its stereo position, while each node provides its own synthesis, processing, modulation and rhythmic controls. FEATURES - Dozens of synthesis families, including subtractive, FM, additive, granular, spectral, physical modelling, wavetable, wave-terrain, pulsar and stochastic synthesis. - A complete DX7 implementation. - Holos, a special node that combines elements and parameters from other nodes to create a new semi-modular synthesizer instantly. - A sample player for loading your own loops, with time-stretching, forward and reverse playback, stuttering, splicing and tape-style manipulation derived from classic electroacoustic techniques. - Sampled acoustic instruments that generate melodic loops in the session's tonal key. - Drum synthesis, a 303, a 16-oscillator supersaw and live granular processing. - Microphone input for processing external sound. - Seventy processors, including filters, distortion, delays, combs, phasing, diffusion, reverb, spectral freezing, convolution, pitch tracking, harmony, vocoding, spectral delays, tape loops and broken-media effects. - Controllers that play or move other nodes: a melodic sequencer with a piano-roll editor, an arpeggiator that turns one arpeggio into a fugue across up to six voices, and an LFO controller with three LFOs on each of up to six nodes. - An effects sequencer with four lanes of any processor, each with its own length. - A randomizer that creates whole patches, transforms what is on the canvas or expands it, and deals or removes LFOs, gates and motifs. - Angiogenesis, which moves nodes, rewires connections, adds processors and changes their parameters automatically. It never removes voices created by the user or modifies microphone nodes. - Adjustable mutation rate and automatic adaptation to the processing capacity of the device. - A shared session clock with tap tempo and an independent clock division for each rhythmic source. - Twenty-six scales from four musical traditions. - Guided paths for restricting generators and processors to a selected musical territory. - A searchable palette, in alphabetical order, with favourites. - Rebalance, which spreads the outputs across the stereo field and evens out their levels. - A multilayer gesture looper. - Thirty-two pattern slots with adjustable morphing between complete instrument states. - Sessions that store the network, settings and tonal key together. - Forty-eight levels of undo and redo. - Recording, playback, renaming and sharing of takes. - A transport that stops active sound sources while allowing effect tails to decay naturally. AUV3 Vascular also runs as an AUv3 instrument in AUM, Loopy Pro, Logic and other compatible hosts, and follows the host's tempo and transport. The interface runs full-screen in landscape orientation and is operated directly with your fingers. The main buttons remain along the top of the display, away from the hand interacting with the canvas.
