Five filters
LADDER, the fat and round 24 dB transistor ladder. DIODE, 18 dB, the squealing resonance of acid lines. OTA, The-One's CEM3320 with its whole gain chain. SK, a growling 12 dB Sallen-Key. BULL, the Moog Taurus I ladder.
The instrument
Two oscillators, a sub, FM and ring, The-One's filter and its whole gain chain, the Moog Taurus I circuits rebuilt from its schematic, a 16-step sequencer with accent and slide. From fat, long basses to acid lines, all the way to kicks. Free, no license.
Six oscillator colors
From a modern, stable VCO (IRON) to drifting vintage (RUST), from pure (GLASS) to soft (FELT), plus The-One's CEM3340 oscillator (ONE) and the Moog Taurus I one (BULL).
16-step sequencer
Accent, slide, four banks and a line for every preset. The keyboard transposes the sequence while it plays.
Keyboard and wheels
A two-octave touch keyboard, played note by note or as a continuous glide, a pitch wheel and a vibrato wheel.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No license, no account, no time limit and no noise: download, install, play.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. VIBRATOR never connects to the internet.
Can I save my own sounds?
Yes: SAVE stores the sound and the four sequencer banks as a user preset.
