What VAST – Impulse Engine does
The plugin is organized around its Impulse Engine, which the developer describes as a designer tool for reshaping sound beyond conventional reverb. The engine is loaded with over 200 impulse responses grouped into banks, and the developer states that its controls are chock full of creative options for producing unexpected effects.
Over 200 presets are included to speed up the creative process, giving a starting point before any control is adjusted. Heavyocity lists VAST among its effects for transport-style sound design, and it runs in Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase and Bitwig.
