Multimode synthesizer for harmonic resonance and spectro-modal resynthesis.
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.
Everything inside Vivo VST.
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.
Spectro-modal resynthesis: 8 sinusoidal oscillators with independent exponential decay, modulated by spectral analysis of the loaded sample.
Individual gain control per harmonic (H1–H8), global Peak Q for filter bandwidth, and real-time amplitude and frequency meters per partial.
LFO, AR Envelope, or Waveshaping (Clip) per harmonic — globally with a Character knob for variation, or fine-tuned individually per band.
Amplitude envelope inspired by the CEM 3310 chip (Prophet-5, OB-Xa): convex attack curve and exponential decay/release for organic, natural dynamics.
LP, HP, BP and Notch filter with ADSR envelope and keytracking. Built-in FX chain: Limiter, Delay, and Reverb.
Try Vivo VST in your own DAW before buying.
In demo mode, the audio output is periodically interrupted by short moments of silence, and saving presets is disabled. A license key removes these limitations. Buy on Gumroad →
On macOS, Gatekeeper may block the plugin on first load since it's independently distributed. The manual includes step-by-step instructions for each macOS version.
