Vaporate transforms sharp, transient-rich audio into lush ambient textures using real FFT processing — not a reverb with a long tail, but frequency-domain smear, freeze and drift.Spectral Engine• Smear randomizes phase across FFT bins, blurring transients into smooth textures• Freeze captures the current spectral magnitude and holds it as an infinite pad• Drift slowly evolves frozen spectra so they stay alive instead of static• Feedback routes processed audio back into the FFT input for progressive smearingTone & Space• Tilt spectral EQ — negative for darker/warmer, positive for brighter/airier• Spread creates stereo width with per-channel phase offsets• Blur smooths magnitudes over time, independent of phase smearingPerformance• Freeze toggle plus momentary Hold for live use• 4 Capture slots — save spectral snapshots and recall them during a set• Selectable FFT window size (512 / 1024 / 2048 / 4096)Workflow• Drag-and-drop WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC or OGG as source material• Real-time spectral display with frequency grid• A/B comparison, Randomize, dry/wet Mix and Output gain• Preset save/load11 factory presets including Vocal Wash, Cinematic Pad, Frozen Moment and Spectral Ghost.AU, VST3 and Standalone — Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), code-signed and notarized by Apple so it installs cleanly on macOS.Requires macOS 15.0 or later. Requires a 64-bit AU or VST3 host.
