Imaginando unveils VS 2 – the next generation of its popular visual synthesizerPortuguese music tech brand Imaginando has unveiled VS 2, the next generation of its popular visual synthesizer, with a host of new features derived from user feedback, including a redesigned interface, new creative tools and improved performance.
Heading up the new changes for VS 2 is a redesigned and streamlined user interface inspired by media editing workflows. It now features a consolidated Layer Properties panel, more intuitive controls, and a clearer overview of all active elements.

Users can also now create preset playlists with “individually assigned playback times, enabling automatic timed playback”.
There’s also new Audio Visualisers and an Oscilloscope, with Shaders now being able to receive audio waveform and spectrum data, “enabling detailed sound-reactive visuals”.
Additionally, VS 2 now features support for Syphon, Spout and live camera feeds for seamless integration with other media tools. Users can also insert customisable text elements, and route visual output back into layers for “recursive” effects, fractals, and other unique motion trails.
Other features include improved MIDI mapping, as well as a Media Manager for easily tracking, relinking and organising media assets.
Fundamentally, the soft synth is loaded with eight polyphonic visual layers with blend modes – with four voices per layer – multiple layer sources, four multi-shape LFOs with sync and MIDI trigger options, two MIDI-triggered envelope generators, four audio-triggered modulators with peak and frequency band modes, a Modulation Matrix per layer and loads more.

VS 2 is available now for Windows and macOS, with all existing VS expansion packs fully compatible and importable from the previous VS.
In terms of pricing, VS 2 will set you back €129, while the upgrade price for existing VS owners is just €49. That said, until 31 December, 2025, Imaginando is hosting a special launch offering, where each of these prices is reduced to €99 and €39, respectively.
