*Important : VS is on a 50% off intro price til 12th July 2021.*

Imaginando have created, with VS (Visual Synth) a reactive visualisation app specifically designed to be accessible to users from a musical rather than a graphics background. If you understand concepts like envelopes, lfos, modulation, attack, release etc, you will grasp this pretty quickly. That said, the app has a few pitfalls for new users, and this video will provide a thorough walk through the main features of the app which many users will find invaluable. I am using the iOS version here but the tutorial is equally useful for users of the desktop version. The video has timestamps when viewed in youtube. The pinned Youtube comment also contains the details of what you need to do to have a chance to win in the insanely generous giveaway - win 1 of 5 free copies of ANY Imaginando plugin/app for desktop or iOS. This video was sponsored by Imaginando, but a Gavinski vid is a Gavinski vid, and as usual I do not shy from my responsibility to my viewers to give a fair, honest and useful review, chock full of enthusiasm for the good stuff, as well as suggestions for improvement. I also point out an important difference (at least in the release version, this wil hopefully change) between the iOS and desktop versions that it is important to be aware of. If you find this video useful, don't forget to thank me with a ThumbsUp and - most important - do yourself a favour by subscribing and hitting the notification bell so as not to miss out on future deep dive reviews on new music making app releases, as well as insane giveaways. Shout out to devs: reach out to me if you are interested in me doing a sponsored vid on one of your apps. Going forward, the chances of me doing non-sponsored deep dives on complex apps will be slim. Too many apps, not enough time. 🙏

Note for you Perplex On fans out there - he made the factory presets for this app.🙏

VS provides a creative way to generate beautiful graphical representations of your music projects. Driven by both audio and MIDI data, VS is the visual equivalent of a traditional synthesizer.

VS takes the concept of music visualisation to a whole new level of customisation and expression, putting you in control and giving you the power to perform however you want.

VS is powered by graphical materials that you can interact with and layer on top of each other to create complex evolving visuals.

As well as a standalone app, VS includes an AUv3 plugin version, so you can run it directly inside your favourite iOS DAW programs like AUM and Audiobus etc.

As the name suggests, VS Visual Synthesizer can be played live like an audio synthesizer; use your MIDI keyboard to make each layer come alive with the concept of ‘polyphonic visual voices’.

We partnered with new media artist ‘Perplex On’ to bring you a factory preset bank full of amazing interactive visuals, you can start using right away, to create dazzling animations and make your music move in a whole new medium.
