The VAST Impulse Engine Black Friday deal from Heavyocity brings this convolution reverb plugin to $59, 40% off, with the offer running until Dec 18, 2026.
VAST is a creative convolution reverb built as a designer tool. The maker says it moves your sound into new and impossible spaces instead of just placing it in a realistic room.
At its core sits the Impulse Engine, which the maker describes as packed with creative controls and unexpected effects. Beyond classic reverbs, the plugin covers rhythmic echoes and unconventional effects.
Heavyocity calls it a playground for experimentation, and the control set is described as intuitive.
The sound starts with the impulse responses. Here is what the maker lists:
The modules are meant to be stacked, so a single source can be rebuilt inside one plugin. A convolved tail can be gated, compressed, EQ'd and delayed without leaving the window.
Loading your own audio as an impulse response means a field recording, a struck object or a synth sample can become the space. That turns the plugin from a fixed set of rooms into a sound-design tool you feed yourself.
The presets are there for a quick start. Load one, then adjust the modules and swap the IR to move it toward your own sound.
VAST runs in 64-bit only, on Mac and PC. The formats and operating systems break down like this:
The supported host applications are Pro Tools 2020+, Live 10+, Cubase 12+, Logic Pro X, DP10+, Cakewalk and Bitwig.
If you work in Logic on a Mac, the AU version is the one that applies. Windows users get VST3 or AAX, and there is no AU on that side.
Yes. The VAST Impulse Engine Black Friday deal takes 40% off, which puts the Heavyocity plugin at $59 until Dec 18, 2026. It is a creative convolution reverb with over 200 impulse responses and over 200 presets.
VAST ships with banks of over 200 impulse responses, over 200 presets and a module set of convolution, gate, compression, EQ, delay and dry/wet. You can also import your own audio files and use them as impulse responses.
On Mac, VAST comes as AAX, VST3 and AU, and needs macOS 10.15.7 or later. On Windows it comes as AAX and VST3 and needs Windows 10 or later. All formats are 64-bit only, so a 32-bit host will not load it.
The maker lists Pro Tools 2020 and newer, Live 10 and newer, Cubase 12 and newer, Logic Pro X, DP10 and newer, Cakewalk and Bitwig. The plugin runs on Mac and Windows in the 64-bit formats for each system.
