Sounds that
play each other.

MaxVRS Pro adds a second layer of synthesis: FM, drum engines, a singing voice, physical models and grains, and Excite, which lets any of them play another. Six Pro effects join the lanes. Hold a pad on this page to hear what it does.

Excite

One sound plays another.

In most synths an oscillator only makes sound. In MaxVRS Pro it can also be the hand that plays another instrument. Route any oscillator into a Resonator and it rings the string, tube or body in place of its own pluck, bow or strike. Route it into Grains and they record the last second of it live and scatter it into a cloud. Noise bows a string; a formant becomes a talking drum.

ResonatorString · Tube · Modal

Rings in place of its own pluck, bow or strike. Several sources sum.

A Resonator can feed Grains: chain them

Records the last second of what it is sent, and scatters it: back, frozen, reversed.

House Dream

Wave Factorya soft tone
Resonator · Modalrings a struck body
Grains · Livescatter the ring

A chain of two: a soft tone rings a modal body, and the body’s ring feeds live grains, so the pad keeps unfolding while you hold it.

Frozen Supersaw

Harmonic Clouda huge supersaw
Grains · Liverecord and scatter it

Live grains record the supersaw as you play and scatter it, partly backwards, into a dreamy cloud. Macro 2 freezes it.

Rising Cymbal

Percussion
Noisea breath of noise
Resonator · Modala metal plate
Noisebrighter noise
Resonator · Modala bell

Noise rings a metal plate and a bell while a filter opens: a cymbal swell into the next beat, with no sample in sight.

Resonant Drone

Harmonic Clouda vintage cloud
Resonator · Modala plate, an octave down

Pink noise bows a string while a vintage cloud rings a metal plate an octave down: a dark, hypnotic drone.

Pro modules

Five new sound sources.

Each one sits in an oscillator slot beside Wave Factory, Harmonic Cloud, Noise, Wavetable, Sample and Piano, and each can excite the next.

FM Lab

Six-operator FM synthesis with the shared Unison controls, for bells, electric pianos, metallic leads, and deep basses. Six algorithms, from three pairs to six carriers, on a routing graph you click.

Drum modules

Kick, Snare & Clap, and Hats & Metal engines with classic and modern models, shaped with Tune, Decay, Punch, Click, Drive, and Accent. DRUM ENV sets a one-shot envelope.

Formant

A pulse train through five vowel formants for voices, choirs, talking basses, and croaks, with Vowel, Size, Breath, and Jitter.

Resonator

Physical models: plucked and bowed strings, tubes, and modal bodies from wood and bars to bells, glass, plates, and skins. PLUCK ENV lets each note ring down.

Grains

A cloud of short grains from a wavetable, a sample, or Live: the last second of what earlier oscillators play. Size, Density, Spray, Pitch Spray, Reverse, Scan, and Freeze.

Pro effects

Six more effects.

Beside the fifteen effect types every MaxVRS has, in both effects lanes.

Tape

A tape machine: Drive, Wow, Flutter, Age, and Hiss that follows the signal, for warmth and drift.

Multiband

Split a lane into low, mid, and high; each later effect can work on one band, with optional OTT-style compression per band.

Resonator

Sympathetic resonance: up to six strings tuned to the held notes or a chord, or a modal body, ringing with the lane.

Grain Delay

Grains of the lane’s last two seconds played back from a delay time: scattered, transposed, reversed, fed back, or frozen.

Beat Repeat

Tempo-synced stutters: a captured slice repeats with Decay, Pitch, and Reverse, on the host’s bars or from each note you play, with Hold for live rolls.

Transient Shaper

Bring hits forward or push them back at any level: Attack and Sustain up or down, Time, and Output.

Pro presets Two in every category on the preset pads, marked PRO.Pro Dance Four bars at 130 BPM made only with Pro presets, stem by stem.

Availability

MaxVRS Pro is coming soon.

We are putting the finishing touches to Pro. Until then, hear it here, on the preset pads and in the stems.

Reseller partners wanted

We are looking for plug-in stores and distributors to offer MaxVRS Pro. If you run one and like what you hear, we would love to talk.
