Vaporizer 2

Vaporizer 2 is a free, open-source synthesizer and sampler workstation for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It brings together wavetable, additive, FM, subtractive, and sample-based sound generation, with a granular mode. Four alias-free wavetable oscillator banks support up to 24-oscillator unison. The editor can draw wavetables with Bezier curves, edit cycles, and import Serum- and Icarus-format files. Sampling supports WAV, AIFF, OGG, and MP3, as well as loop points, key tracking, and sample-to-wavetable resampling. The product page lists more than 780 wavetables and single cycles and more than 410 factory presets. Modulation offers 25 sources, 220 destinations, five MSEG envelopes, and five LFOs; MIDI Polyphonic Expression is supported. It is available as a standalone app and in plugin formats including VST2, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP, and LV2. The README specifies at least 1 GB RAM and a CPU supporting AVX or SSE2. The maker lists lifelong free updates.
