Vexon TENSILE – Feature Overview
🎸Performance-Aware Bass Synthesis ▶
- Made for electric bass — TENSILE transforms clean, single-note bass audio into an expressive synthesizer voice in real time.
- Your playing shapes the sound — Pitch, intensity, attack and sustain analysis influence synthesis and movement — not just volume.
- No MIDI pickup required — Use a normal bass audio input; TENSILE does not require MIDI note triggering or MIDI note programming.
🔄Two-State A/B Morph Engine ▶
- Two fully editable sound states — Create contrasting A and B sounds, each with its own waveform blend, layer balance, filter offset, resonance and modulation depth.
- Morph between sonic identities — The Morph Lens blends A and B, with distinct manual and effective positions displayed in the interface.
- Touch to Morph — Let your articulation and dynamics push the sound toward different states as you play.
🎛️Expression & Performance Routing ▶
- Dedicated Expression macro — Control expressive changes independently of the manual A/B Morph position.
- Flexible destinations — Route Expression to filter cutoff, wave blend, layer balance and morph position with positive or negative amounts.
- Performance-to-Expression — Use playing dynamics to influence the effective macro value, adding performance-driven movement.
🔊Three-Layer Synth Engine ▶
- SUB — A square-wave layer one octave below the tracked root for low-frequency weight.
- ROOT — The principal synth voice with band-limited waveform blending.
- UPPER — An octave-above layer for presence, brighter textures and harmonic contrast.
- Dynamic layer balance — Blend the three synthesis layers differently across A/B states and with Expression routing.
🎚️Filters, Drive & Glide ▶
- Four filter modes — Choose LP12, LP24, BP or HP, and shape resonance and envelope-driven movement.
- Drive — Add harmonically coloured saturation to the synthesized signal.
- Glide — Smooth transitions between accepted notes for melodic leads and expressive phrases.
- Playing Response — Choose TIGHT, SMOOTH or DYNAMIC interpretation to suit your articulation.
🎵Pulse & LFO Modulation ▶
- Rhythmic Pulse — Create rhythmic amplitude and timbral patterns, from subtle movement to sharper gate-like contours.
- Independent LFO — Add cyclic filter movement with Sine, Triangle or Square waveforms.
- Tempo-aware Sync — Use supported note divisions and triplet rates when working in a DAW.
- A/B modulation depth — Give A and B different Pulse and LFO depth settings, then morph between them.
🎼40 Curated Sounds & Preset Browser ▶
- 30 Factory presets — Explore foundation bass, performance morph, acid, rhythmic, aggressive, melodic and evolving sounds.
- 10 Lab presets — Experiment with reference patches focused on rhythmic and expressive synthesis.
- Organise your sounds — Search by name or category, mark favourites and save your own presets with Save As.
🖥️Visual Performance Interface ▶
- Interactive Morph Lens — See manual and effective morph positions while shaping your sound.
- Performance feedback — View responsive performance indicators while playing.
- Dedicated editing pages — Move between Sound, Rhythm, Expression and Advanced controls.
- Interface scaling — Choose compact or larger interface sizes; Reduced Motion is available.
🎧Built for Bassists & Producers ▶
- Live performance and studio workflow — Use the Standalone application or place the VST3 effect directly on a bass audio track.
- Synthesis without MIDI conversion — Keep articulation and dynamics connected to the sound-generation engine.
- Creative sound palette — Explore sub-heavy synth bass, acid accents, rhythmic wobble, gliding leads and evolving textures.
🧩Compatibility & Requirements ▶
- Windows 10/11 (64-bit) — Available now as a VST3 audio effect and Standalone application.
- VST3-compatible host — Use a modern 64-bit Windows DAW with VST3 audio-effect support.
- Standalone audio — Supports Windows WASAPI/DirectSound; ASIO is not available in the current Standalone build.
- Required runtime — Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64).
- Monophonic bass input — Best with clean, single-note electric-bass performances. Standard low E is within the approximate 38–600 Hz synthesis range; low B is not guaranteed.
- macOS coming soon — The macOS version is not included in the current Windows release.
Crafted in the United Kingdom by Vexon Audio.
