LayerForge - Best VST For Layering Sounds
Note: A Big Up for Vital VST and its creator, Matt Tytle. Its open-source repository helped me a lot while building this VST.
About the VST
My idea for building this VST plugin came from the absence of a dedicated synth that can layer a wide range of sounds. From what I understand, music producers and sound designers like to layer their sounds to make it heavy and feel full. That is the inspiration behind this VST as well. I have added 10 layers of sound engines in this VST, each with its own separate filters, effects, and modulations.
The entire layer thing producers do in their DAW by loading 10 different VSTs, each with 10 effects, burning their CPU, can be done with this single VST plugin. Apart from the main wavetable sound engine, the layers also have additive and FM sound engines.
Each layer has its own dedicated filter, effect rack, LFO, and Envelope modulation. Then there is the master tab with the effects and filter for the master channel of VST.
The plugin is still not available in AU yet because of Mac's stupid developer fees and everything. If I get enough funds to get a Mac and a dev account, I will release an AU in the future(Its already built, just need to build it).
I have not created any presets for the VST because I do not have time. However, I have added tons of awesome wavetables, which you can use to curate your own sounds. If you have an awesome sound, don't forget to share. I love hearing what you come up with.
