Vast Vaporizer 2 (VST2/VST 3) now free.
Another really good wavetable synth.

I wanted to try it, but installer informed me that my CPU doesn't support some specific functions and it cannot run without it :-/...

They do have a version that bypasses these CPU checks. As explained on their website...

"If your installation runs into a CPU check problem on Windows you can try to use the installer Vaporizer2_installer_win_3.1.4_no_CPU_check.zip"
Check my Soundcloud:

Surely bypassing the check is not enough if it needs those CPU functions. Maybe they have made a version that does it differently, presumably with a performance hit.

Yeah, I used the version that bypasses the CPU check. It works fine for me. I'm not on a real high end machine. I'm running an Intel i5-9400 2.90GHz / 16 GB memory. 4GB Nvidia card.

Hi@all,
Has anyone got the arpeggiator of the Vaporizer2 to run synchronously with Reason (Win10/11) ?
If I try that, the sound is terrible. Is this a bug in the VST or is it a setting issue?
I tried the vst2 and vst3 versions.
It happens with 3.3.0 and 3.1.4.

@reasonuser12
I just tried the ARP and I got the same error/issue as you did. I didn't find any settings that fixed the problem. I'm assuming it's a bug with Vast, because my other VST Arps work fine.

reasonuser12 to Worker13 ;-)

Thanks for your information. Then I'll use reason's arp instead and look no further.
As always, i first look for the fault at myself.
