Worlds of sound.

  The KOMPLEXER VST—a high-end synthesizer “made in Germany”. 

With the fantastic possibilities this synthesis engine provides, you are unlikely to need any 
other synthesizer. In addition to classic virtual analog synthesis, wavetable oscillators and 
FM synthesis provide you with additional powerful sound sculpting tools. With four 
envelope curves, three LFOs, two multimode filters and a 16x modulation matrix, the 
sound possibilities of the KOMPLEXER VST are unlimited. 

 

Perfect integration.

 The KOMPLEXER VST integrates perfectly into every VST host 

system. The KOMPLEXER VST processes both important tempo information and external 
MIDI controllers. The arpeggiator automatically synchronizes with the host, all parameters 
can be automated and all settings are saved together with your project.  

 

Waldorf microQ import.

 The KOMPLEXER VST is the only VST plugin in the world to 

have an import function for Waldorf microQ sounds. Even now, with the first version of the 
KOMPLEXER VST, you have access to a huge library of sounds.
