Enhanced EditionVST3 and AU2+1 layer engine
Vapor Keys is a set of custom electric pianos with FM and wavetable synth sounds aimed at the 90s — sweet and lush at one end, dark and moody at the other.
The field calls this Enhanced Edition a reimagined version of a release that was previously available only for Kontakt, with a new interface, new effects and a smart randomizer.
At a Glance
- 40+ factory presets the figure the field’s own summary gives
- Two sources named Yamaha DX7 and Arturia MicroFreak — the field writes “instruments like”, so its list is open
- A 2+1 layer engine electric key sounds mixed with 13 additional synth sublayers
- Ethos reverb 24 algorithms, aimed at cinematic and ambient work
- Dimension MK2 19 DSP algorithms, after the Roland Dimension D and the Eventide Blackhole
- Wow modulation a VHS-like wobble that can be added on top
Content & Detail
01The Counts This Field Givesone disagreement▾
In the opening section“23 accurately sampled FM and wavetable synth patches”
In Authentic Sounds“29 custom electric piano and wavetable synth patches” — further down the same field
Presets40+ factory presets, and 70 artist presets that the field marks as free for the intro period only
LayersNot a disagreement: the body says a 2+1 layer synth engine, the summary says 3 sound layers — two wordings of one count. The 13 additional synth sublayers the body names sit inside that engine
Not statedThe field does not say how many of the patches are electric pianos and how many are synths
02The Effect Racktwo units▾
Vapor Dimension MK219 DSP algorithms written for this instrument — choruses, echoes, phasers and more, after the Roland Dimension D and the Eventide Blackhole
Ethos24 reverb algorithms, for anything from a lush soundscape to added depth
Per effectIn and out gain — the one rack item the field marks “for each effect”
Listed for the rackEffect presets for easy dial-in and dry/wet knobs, given as bare items; the field does not say whether they sit on each unit or on the rack
The list is openThe summary introduces the rack with “including”, so two units is what it names, not what it caps
03Controls and the Smart Randomizerfour random controls named▾
Per layerVolume, fine tune, octave and tone EQ
ModulatorsTremolo and Wow, plus a volume ADSR and a main gain — every control MIDI-learnable
Random instrument sourcesRe-rolls the modules
Random sound controlsADSR, modulators and, in the field’s own wording, etc. — the list is left open
Random effectsThe 2 FX modules can be re-rolled separately
SurpriseSmart Random All, everything at once

This field describes the Enhanced Edition by what it adds, and says nothing about what it kept. It calls the edition a reimagined version of a release previously available only for Kontakt, and its own list of what is new reads: brand-new features, improved performance, an intuitive interface, and new effects. Which features and which effects are the new ones is not stated, and the field makes no claim in either direction about how the electric pianos of this edition compare with the legacy ones.
