Turn any sound into a MIDI-playable instrument.

Multimode synthesizer for harmonic resonance and spectro-modal resynthesis.

Sound Demos

All sounds made entirely with Vivo VST.

Two Engines, One Instrument

Vivo approaches synthesis from a different angle.

The Peak engine feeds a bank of 8 harmonic filters from samples, white noise, pink noise, or live DAW audio. Each filter resonates at a harmonic of the played MIDI note — extracting and amplifying only the harmonic energy from any sound source.

The Resynth engine analyzes the loaded sample spectrally and reconstructs it using 8 sinusoidal oscillators with independent exponential decay. The interface is inspired by modal synthesis: Exciter controls the initial attack energy, Ring controls how harmonics decay over time.

Both engines are fully MIDI-playable, polyphonic up to 32 voices, and transform any source material into a rich, tuneable instrument.

Features

Everything inside Vivo VST.

Peak Filter Engine

8 IIR biquad Peak filters, each resonating at a harmonic of the played note. Fed by the built-in sampler, white noise, pink noise, or live DAW audio.

Resynth Engine

Spectro-modal resynthesis: 8 sinusoidal oscillators with independent exponential decay, modulated by spectral analysis of the loaded sample.

8 Harmonic Bands

Individual gain control per harmonic (H1–H8), global Peak Q for filter bandwidth, and real-time amplitude and frequency meters per partial.

Per-Harmonic Modulation

LFO, AR Envelope, or Waveshaping (Clip) per harmonic — globally with a Character knob for variation, or fine-tuned individually per band.

Analog-Style ADSR

Amplitude envelope inspired by the CEM 3310 chip (Prophet-5, OB-Xa): convex attack curve and exponential decay/release for organic, natural dynamics.

Global Filter + FX

LP, HP, BP and Notch filter with ADSR envelope and keytracking. Built-in FX chain: Limiter, Delay, and Reverb.
