discoDSP have released a public beta version of Vertigo, their new "Spectral Sampler" Additive Windows VSTi. Feast your eyes on the features below and then wince at the system requirements ;)
General features
- 16 Part Multi-timbral.
- 16 Stereo Outputs.
- Up to 16 voices polyphony per part (256 total).
Envelope
- 256 breakpoints parabolic envelopes with stage slope control.
Partials
- Euler generated (Max: -120dB s/noise ratio) (no wavetables used).
- Up to 256 per voice.
