What's New in Vascular
2.2
October 10, 2026
NEW - caligula (palette: synths): eight cross-modulating oscillators in four pairs, a hyper-LFO, dual delay and distortion. Randomize generates a new patch from eight internal recipes, each with its own touch and parameter automation. - Capsules (capsule button, top bar, after the patterns button): draw a closed line around nodes to form a capsule; up to three per canvas. Tapping inside a capsule randomizes the nodes it contains. Hold the capsule button to remove all capsules. - Session settings > capsules: select which transforms a capsule tap applies: position, wiring, gates, generators, processors, LFOs, structures. - Under angiogenesis, nodes inside a capsule stay within it; other nodes pass through. - Keep (processor edit view, top bar, beside the favourite star): exempts the processor from removal during angiogenesis. - Session settings > angiogenesis > type: free, or restrained (nodes move; only stereo position and volume or filter change). - lushpad: gen chords (edit view, below the top bar) generates a new chord progression independently of randomize. CHANGES - breadbutter: feedback and wet signal fade out after the transport stops. - lpf18: resonance capped below self-oscillation, with an added resonant peak at the cutoff. - The flute generator is renamed whistle (palette: generators > sustained). - Session settings: section headings enlarged. - Help: the guide and the guided tour updated, including capsules and rebalance.

FAQ
What is Vascular?
Vascular is a canvas-based electroacoustic instrument that allows users to create sound generators and processors by touching the screen. You can then connect these elements to build complex signal paths for unique sound design and music creation.
What kind of synthesis does Vascular offer?
Vascular boasts 55 synthesis families, including subtractive, FM, additive, granular, spectral, physical modeling, wavetable, wave-terrain, pulsar, and stochastic synthesis. It also features three comprehensive macrosynths and a full DX7 implementation.
Can I use my own instruments or effects with Vascular?
Yes, you can host your own AUv3 instruments, effects, and MIDI plugins as nodes on the canvas. Their settings are saved with your sessions, though this feature requires an in-app purchase.
Does Vascular have built-in controllers for performance?
Vascular includes 7 controllers, such as a melodic sequencer with a piano-roll editor, an arpeggiator, a drum machine, and a Game of Life controller. These can be used to play or move other nodes within your sessions.
How does Vascular handle rhythm and timing?
The app features a shared session clock with tap tempo and allows for independent clock division for each rhythmic source. It also includes an effects sequencer with 4 lanes for controlling processors over time.
What are the pricing details for Vascular?
Vascular is available for a one-time purchase of $3.99. There are also in-app purchases available for additional features like hosting AUv3 plugins.
Is Vascular suitable for beginners?
While Vascular offers deep complexity, it includes guided paths to restrict generators and processors, making it more accessible. Its visual, touch-based interface can also be intuitive for new users exploring sound design.
What devices is Vascular compatible with?
Vascular is supported on both iPhone and iPad, offering a versatile platform for music creation on Apple mobile devices.
