Source Controls
The main section of Vektor contains 4 distinct sources which can be blended together to create unique sounds. Each source has independent controls for EQ, Envelope and Filter accessible by clicking the buttons at the top. Each source has a master volume slider control along with a power button and a solo button. next to these are your tuning (+/- 36 semitones) and panning (-100/+100) control - Click and drag to change the values. Next to these are the Random (Click to randomise the sound source) and the Reverse Buttons (click to play to current sample backwards)
Finally, you have the source select dropdown menu containing 116 instruments and below this, you have the sample display window which shows the current playing waveform. Drag the Start slider to adjust the start position of the sample.
Movement Page (Source)
The movement panel allows you to dynamically and instantly transform your sound in a number of unique ways. Firstly you can click and drag the white dot inside the Source Movement XY pad to instantly blend between the 4 sound sources. This allows you to change the volume of each source in a relative manner very quickly. However, you also have access to controls that will change the blend over time. You can choose to blend horizontally or vertically (or both at the same time) or in a circular motion.
You can choose whether the movement should be in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction and you can choose whether the motion should be in sync with your DAWs tempo or free-running.
Movement Page (Filters)
The movement panel also allows you to control the filter frequency and resonance of each source independently or together. Subtle filter sweeps can be achieved with ease as well as complexity.
Modulation Page
The Modulation Panel gives you everything you need to create dynamic movements and modulation to your sounds. There are 4 LFOs and 4 Envelopes and each one can be assigned to a multitude of different controls.
Effects Page
The Effects Panel contains 9 powerful effects that operate on a global basis including: Chorus, Distortion, Spatial, Phasis, Flair, Convolution, Filter, Replika delay and Lo-Fi
Import Your Own Samples
Vektor comes with an innovative and easy to use drag and drop function. Simply drag and drop your chosen sample into the source window, and it automaps the sample into that source. It’s that easy.
