03In depth

Impulse Engine and Modular Signal Chain

At the core of VAST is a flexible Impulse Engine. You can combine convolution, gate, compression, EQ, delay and dry/wet modules to reshape a source sound in several stages. Heavyocity states that the modules can be combined in many ways, which makes the chain suitable for both subtle space and heavily processed effects.

The engine works with more than 200 included impulse responses organized in banks. You can also import your own audio files as impulse responses, so the plugin can be used with custom sampled spaces or sound sources.

Presets and Creative Starting Points

VAST includes more than 200 presets. They give you a quick starting point for exploring reverbs, rhythmic echoes and unconventional effects, and you can then adjust the controls and modules to shape your own sound.

Because the plugin mixes reverb with delay and gating, it is best suited to sound design, electronic production and effects-heavy mixes where a conventional room reverb would not be enough.
