What Vecto does
The synth uses a four-oscillator vector design, where the XY controller mixes the oscillators dynamically across the sound. The filter section provides 28 filter slots and the plugin includes two effects processors.
The vector concept traces back to the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS synth of 1986. Vecto was first created for Propellerhead Reason as RE, and after its commercial success Rob Papen received many requests to bring it to other hosts. The Vecto crack release circulates as a .rar or .iso repack, with the x64 crack and x86 crack builds and the macOS crack and win/mac crack variants all searched by name, and the .dmg crack and VST3 crack forms are commonly typed beside the serial key query.
Key features
- Granular resynthesis. Grain on/off, grain size, length and randomization can be set to reshape the sampled material.
- Filter slots and effects. A bank of 28 filter slots is available alongside two effects processors in the signal chain.
- Play modes. Poly MPE, Mono Hi/Lo and Legato Hi modes change how notes are handled.
