5 Tips and Tricks with Vital (Part 1)

[@Baphometrix]

These are killer techniques! Thanks for sharing them with the community!

[@DataBroth]

Thank you, no problem, I have more of these planned

[@poweruser64]

... you might even say they're vital

[@Rzn8B58]

wow I would have never thought to map the random at that low seconds. that's such a powerful tool in my belt, thanks!!!!

[@manthosdamigos]

A year later, still the best tips of the entire KZbin on vital.

[@DataBroth]

dude thank you, make sure you check out Dash Glitch's 100 tips for Vital

[@manthosdamigos]

@@DataBroth thanks for the reply and like! I've checked Dash Glitch, as well as Platipo (great stuff there) and others... But for some reason I keep coming back to yours!

[@kittavares4334]

Crazy stuff, I started watching the video yesterday and haven't passed the 5:00 mark yet because I had to spend hours trying these experiments.

[@DataBroth]

haha awesome, I hope they are leading to new and creative sounds for you

[@MuchachoC]

3:45 chewbacca sounds in the background 7:45 you made a Meshuggah song using only LFOs. Congratulations what an awesome video! thanks for all these tips man. This synth is the real deal

[@DataBroth]

thank you, make sure you check out the rest of them

[@kennethsmith5383]

Matt Tytel thought of everything! Spicy!

[@MichaelHetrickUnfiltered]

Spectacular. FM LFOs are really cool, but using an LFO as a phasor to lookup a pattern table is brilliant.

[@DataBroth]

Yes, this is one of my favorite things about vital actually, I might try to do a whole video on just remap tricks

[@joewheelar]

@@DataBroth Please, it's too powerful....

[@jamesmeustache7740]

modulation remap is a seriously insane feature, thanks man!

[@nunciusd.5812]

Dude.... what XD This is awesome, thank you for that. guess there is a new channel for me to get through.

[@DataBroth]

thank you, I hope you enjoy and I find more to learn

[@TonyS-440]

Whoa, that mod mapping tip is incredible. Huge possibilities! I learn something new with each video you make man, awesome stuff!

[@DataBroth]

thank you, glad these are useful

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

Very cool video, DB. Love the interface and how easy it is to work with.

[@DataBroth]

thank you, yes, Vital has an incredible interface

[@ChR_is]

the remap lfo tricks blew my mind! awesome tutorial!

[@DataBroth]

:) that's one of my favorites

[@AlexReidStudios]

you blew my mind

[@DataBroth]

awesome, an particular part?

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@DataBroth I was hooked from the beginning, but the modulation remapping thing left me speechless. First video I watch and I'm subscribed now (didn't even knew your name was already on Vital presets lol)

[@DataBroth]

@@AlexReidStudios haha yes, I was a beta tester and made some presets for it as well, the mod remapping was the first thing that really sucked me into vital, I wish every synth had this now

[@AlexReidStudios]

@@DataBroth The possibilities are overwhelming at first. The only thing that Vital can't module is something like the preset picker. Wouldn't be a surprise if it did haha.

[@DataBroth]

@@AlexReidStudios preset switching would be cool, I don't think we're quite there yet with synths this deep, though I know some synths can do similar stuff to that

[@DashGlitch]

Amazing!!

[@DataBroth]

Thanks

[@moodriseofficial]

Really enjoyed your recent Vital tut too btw.

[@Holland2226]

Man, love your content. Picked Vital last week and I have come back to your Live Patching video so many times. Sometimes it's a bit hard to follow what you're doing, and some voiceover, or maybe a bigger/more visible mouse arrow, would have helped to follow along. But again, great great stuff.

[@DataBroth]

Thank you, I might attempt voice over again, but for now the captions are much easier for me, would love to get this information out to you as best I can. I'll try to do something about the mouse size. The streams will probably stay the same however, just going to slow up on them as I make more of these Tips and Tricks

[@Holland2226]

@@DataBroth Yes sorry, I'm in a data broth binge atm and my comment was probably more relevant to the 1hr sound design video :) Captions here are good and easy to follow!

[@briancase6180]

Dude! You're amazing! This is *excellent!* Subscribed. It's almost like a video Mr. Bill would do if he didn't speak.... Thanks a million. I learned a ton I didn't know. This is the best thing KZbin has done for me in a long while. 👍

[@DataBroth]

mr bill was a huge inspiration for this little series, I have a tone more tips and tricks, but I'm thinking they'll end up being a series in the future when I decide to add my voice to this channel. thank you so much

[@sevenfifteen]

Thanks a lot! Very interesting techniques used here. I learned something new about Vital!

[@FKupstateB]

amazing synth, amazing video. this is my new fave synth plugin...

[@DataBroth]

Agreed, Vital is my favorite synth

[@moodriseofficial]

Oh wow, that FM tip is very nice. So is the rest, but that one I needed to know about for sure. Thanks!

[@DataBroth]

Thank you, it can actually be a lot of fun just using vital as a simple fm synth

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

Great stuff! The modulation remap is sooo amazing for complex sequences and patterns!

[@DataBroth]

yes, I have a whole video planned around the mod matrix and things you can do with it

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

@@DataBroth I'll watch it for sure

[@MrDavidstone9999]

Wow fab video 🙏 looks like Vital can do as much if not more than Serum,thank you for the lesson 🤗 will be back for more 👍

[@DataBroth]

Vital can do much more than serum, there are some things serum can do that vital can't, but there are many more things you can do with vital than serum. Take for example some of the things in this video can't be done with serum. Still love serum though

[@guilhermeguimaraescoelho7179]

Tier S content bro thanks!!!!

[@arturanowak]

This is more fun that a monster analog modular system!

[@DataBroth]

quite possibly, I love eurorack as well, some of my techniques are inspired from eurorack

[@adriandanks6947]

Right so keytracking the lfo makes just an o!

[@DataBroth]

haha pretty much

[@borrasca]

Amazing tutorial, having those text boxes stay there during the whole segment makes it very easy to browse through the video When you PM/FM with a keytracked lfo, I recommend setting the modulation to bipolar, so that the modulation isnt just happening from the center up (and getting clipped at the top) That chorus trick is interesting, i never used the freeze mode there before. You used 3 random modulators but all with identical settings, to get different modulations on all the destinations I assume; wouldn’t just using 1 random modulator still produce unique modulations on all the destinations? Or would they be identical in that case? I’m genuinely unsure of this

[@DataBroth]

Funny enough I used to set the PM to bipolar, a few of us testing Vital had a long discussion about this, after doing some side by side comparison it turns out there is no significant difference between uni/bipolar modulation on the osc phase in Vital. And as far as it getting clipped, this actually relates to a tip from the next video ;) Yes you could use the same random mod for all 3 chorus controls, and in most presets this would probably be a better idea to free up more modulation, but you also get the exact same random motion being sent to all 3 controls, by using 3 different sources you get different motion from each random mod, at .001 seconds it likely makes no difference, but it prevents all 3 controls from staying at one value together

[@borrasca]

@@DataBroth I guess uni vs bipolar makes more difference when modulating osc transpose then. That’s what I was wondering about the random mod; if routing one random modulator to multiple different parameters means that all those parameters are getting the exact same random motion, or if each of them still get unique motions from eachother even though theyre coming from the same modulator. I think I asked matt about it a long time ago but don’t remember the answer lol. I guess it’s easy enough to get a definitive answer though by just trying

[@DataBroth]

@@borrasca yes, on transpose it will make a huge difference, on phase it just matters which direction you are traveling and at what rate, but the "distance" traveled doesn't affect it as it is a rotational control and yes the random mods output the same random value to each control, would be cool to have a button for unique outputs

[@mitdemall]

Thanks for the crazy sound ideas :)

[@meditationanalogue160]

Hey there nice video! is it possible to modulate the Wavetable- and/or preset selection? or maybe the effect selection?

[@DataBroth]

I'm guessing you want to switch presets with modulation and toggle effects on and off with modulation? no this is not possible

[@2gunzofficial593]

This video is giving me anxiety from how excited i am about these golden tips

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

Excellent tutorial. TIP: a human voice is always better than texts. That's because we are projected to deal with others by talking and listening, not by reading. The writing came way after with the main goal to maintain and pass the knowledge from elders (older ones)... But I must say that this is one of the best Vital tutorials ever. Thanx a lot, "Data Broth".

[@DataBroth]

TIP: just thumbs up all my videos

[@DataBroth]

also I prefer text to human voice, so you're wrong, it's just an opinion though, not a matter of fact. you like voice better, there's a thousand youtubers doing voiceover stuff. I like non voice, which is why I don't speak in my content

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

@@DataBroth I've never said that you should make vídeos talking something or anything. Writing came after speaking and that's a fact.

[@DataBroth]

​@@marceloribeirosimoes8959 then why did you say "TIP". You were heavily implying that voiceover is preferred to text. So what if writing came after, videos and computers came even later.

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

@@DataBroth Man,, sorry to say that but, it seems you got a huge ego issue. Did you read all my first message? Please, re-read it. Maybe if you do that, you'll see anything that may not "sound" so agressive inside of your heart. I don't care if you like it. But I do care if you feel offended. Sorry. That was never my inttention. That's why it was a "tip". Not a critic nor a command and so on... But it seems that you're "not able" to have a friend (I know you don't consider me one) because a real friend says what he thinks and, otherwise, is never took like someone trying to offend nor be disrespecful... Keep working like you preffer, I am not trying to change your kingdom nor stand in your way, majesty. :-))) Now I have to review your vídeo when I left my job and have time for that. Is one of the best in method of teatching. Really. Almost technology tutorials are constantly clicking and twitching and pulling things, buttons, slides, faders and they never ssy WHY, what that mobile piece "does" nor what's the point. Thank you for your vídeo and if you don't feel confortable listening your own voice, get in the line. It's só common and normal to feel this way....

[@SpeccyMan]

"Now each modulation slot can have its own pattern." It's is the contraction of "it is" so should not be used here. The possessive pronoun "its" is required since the pattern belongs to (or is possessed by) the modulation slot. A very common mistake. The trick when you think of using it's is to replace it with "it is" in the sentence to see if it makes sense. Here is an example of both in a sentence: It's (it is) fun to watch a little puppy dog chasing its tail. (The tail is possessed by the puppy.) A nice collection of presets. Vital is an amazing synth for the money. Hopefully most people will buy the paid version and support Matt in his development.

feel free to ask about any of it, this isn't an introductory video and somewhat assumes basic knowledge of synths.
