Audio Damage Vapor - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Vapor, Audio Damage’s diffusion chorus plug-in. Vapor is a sort of hybrid effect, a
relative of both chorus and reverb. Vapor adds high-end shine and animation to synthesizers, strings, and
guitar, giving them more presence in your mix. Vapor can also smear out and soften audio, making
instruments sound distant and less distinct.
At Vapor's core is a network of diffusers, delay-based filters that soften and smear audio passing through
them. Each diffuser is modulated by a low-frequency oscillator (LFO). This modulation prevents the filters
from resonating at any specific frequency but can also be used to create unusual tremolo-like effects.
Vapor is provided as both a VST and an AudioUnit plug-in for Windows and MacOS X. The MacOS X version is
a Universal Binary, compatible with both Intel- and Motorola-based Macs.
System Requirements
To use Vapor, you'll need a Steinberg VST-compatible host application which conforms to the VST 2.0
specifications, and a computer capable of running it. For the Audio Unit version of Vapor, you’ll need an
application capable of hosting Audio Unit plug-ins, and an Apple computer with an Intel CPU capable of
running it.
We support the use of Vapor under Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7; and Apple OS X version 10.5
or newer.
