Don't let the low price fool you into overlooking this top quality synth.
I can't add much to what the previous reviewers have said, except to mention that it's my first line when I'm looking for phat bass sounds and rich pads. It has other tricks up its sleeve as well.
It hasn't been updated in a few years, but this actually has the benefit that it's very efficient as far as resource usage. Soundwise, it doesn't need to be updated. It's aimed at emulating vintage synths, so why update it?
If there's one thing that might be a negative, it's that the UI is not resizable. Not that big an issue for me, as it looks great on my aging 14" laptop, and my desktop DAW system uses dual 23" monitors. If you use a 4K monitor, it probably starts to look pretty tiny.
Read ReviewNo Trial Version??? No way Im paying 200 dollars.
Must take a lot to get all those tubes installed. Too much work for a "trial".
The hardware requirements are pretty steep, too. I'd like to see some reviews on this thing.
Indeed, at that price point, a demo is a must.
Just tried the presets from Karl Wenninger. Sorry, but they don't work on the Pro version of Vacuum.

Now that Steinberg has officially discontinued support for VST2, I wonder if Vacuum Pro will ever get the VST3 version and resizable interface.
