VAPolyWest
Polyphonic Synthesizer
VAPolyWest works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It operates as a stand alone or as an AudioUnit Extension (AUv3). Stand Alone supports Ableton Link, MIDI and audio file export.
Synthesizer
VAPolyWest is inspired by synthesizers developed in California in the 1960’s. VAPolyWest features wave folder and lowpass gate, which are key components of the west coast synthesis. VAPolyWest also features 5 step sequencer and envelope generators which are designed to create generative music.
Effects
The Effects include delay, chorus, flanger, reverb, eq and compressor.
Sequencer
The sequencer features piano roll and parameter automation editor to program 16 bar pattern per clip.
