Hi Cameron, any chance you might post a video demonstrating briefly all of the presets in your exclusive pack?

[@VenusTheory]

The presets are actually the sounds used in the video here! Any time there is a preset name, that's one that is included. There is also the free pack to try a few of them out. If there are more requests though maybe I'll put together a quick demo track on my website.

[@jonathanstark5541]

totally agree about that synth, seems like before Serum no sound design was possible... I also hate the convenient (for him) 'philosophy' of the creator, a very greedy sad moron. Serum is NEVER (BUT REALLY N-E-V-E-R) discounted because once interviewed about this, Duda said 'making sales is not right relatively to all the people who bought Serum till the previous day at full price''... maauhauhauhuahahu oh yes, but the ones that paid more, also used the vst BEFORE the ones buying now discounted. Not a case ALL THE REST OF THE WORLD makes sales. Further, I'd like to ask Duda if he has never bought a discounted thing... But actually I already know it. Imagine him stopped in a store by a vendor proposing a new product at launch price: What would Duda reply? ''No thanx sir but I buy only full-priced things, so I'll wait till back to its retail price'' ...muauhauhauhahu I'm sure u understand what I mean... He is a sad hypocritical dickhead, so even if serum would be the best synth ever, I'll never give my money to false people like him. I hate Hypocracy

Matt needs some serious help. Why anyone would give this away free is nuts. I bought the 20 dollar early special yesterday. I feel guilty even getting this for 20 dollars. Matt will win 2 awards this year. Best plugin for 2020. Also craziest man alive. Absolutely crazy giving away for free.

[@laurenpinschannels]

some people just want open source to exist

[@TheBigLou13]

I want the unlimited TTS - well worth 80 bucks even while owning FL Studio with all native plugins, the kilohearts Toolbox and uvi falcon with some other uvi plugins and sound banks. It seems very similar to PhasePlant but in a different flavor

[@jameshutchins7042]

Ive been using it for a day now. Its very very similar to phase plant, serum, and pigments. The text speech wavetables I quickly learned you must be connected to the internet to work. If your not online it shows error plz make sure you have internet connection in the oscillator. Its a very easy synth if you know serum, phase plant , icarus or pigments. If your new to synthesis this will be like flying the space shuttle.

[@arrtemfly]

this is what making a piece of FOSS does to you. huge respect to people actually willing to give up the source code.

[@VenusTheory]

$20 is an absolute steal haha, I'd have to buy it twice to feel it was even fair.

[@DataBroth]

For anyone planning on using drag and drop for wavetables: the three modes all work a little different, if it's your first time I'd use either pitch slice or vocode. Pitch slice will detect the pitch of your source and slice the table up accordingly. Vocode will set every frame of your table to the same phase (from a random seed), if you're getting a nasty table from pitch slice, vocode should smooth it out a lot. Wavetable import slices by a ratio of sample import, and unless your table is perfectly tuned, it will sound like a mess. Anything that is already a table, like from serum, should work fine, but you should copy these into your folder anyways to save time. tldr: use pitch slice or vocode mode for loading samples as tables

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

Downloaded it, loaded 2 wavetables based on sounds in my folder, put some unison on one of them, and instantly got amazing sounds without even trying to look at any other part of the synth. I loaded a vocal chop loop in there and automated it to basically write a melodic part, sounds great. Such an easy way to get variety across your notes and write stuff you otherwise wouldn't! Didn't have to fiddle with the sound to make it interesting, just made it a plucky low pass 8th note pulse for some house and put some reverb to get this beautifully hazy sound

[@rayderrich]

I played around with Vital for a week before I found your video, and now I love it even more. Also you have a fantastic voice to do this line of work.

[@Hajjmat]

DAMN! I started looking on ur videos for maybe 3 years ago. Havent seen so man videos of you since but the difference is HUGE. Back ten u had almost 50-400 veiws now u have upp tp 200k, congrats man! 🍻

These sounds are magnificent. Well worth the addition to the existing content. Actually different in many ways. Love the analog bank too. Its deep and warm and amazing. Highly recommended!!!

[@electropunkzero]

I am not able to utilize all the features Vital has, but what I really love is the visual aspect. Being able to see the filters move and where the sound is in the envelope is so helpful!!

[@andrewreeds1524]

It's been 3 months since it came out and Vital has indeed become 'VITAL' to my production setup. It can almost do anything I want it to. Bass, Sub-Bass, Pads, Plucks, Leads. SO much can be done in just 3 minutes if you know your way around it.

[@VenusTheory]

It's a beast for sure. Still can't believe this kind of quality is available for free. Amazing time to get into music production!

[@disturbeddemons1]

I absolutely adore this synth and still cannot believe it's essentially free. I've only had 4 or 5 days now and I'm already making crazy basses and pads with it. It's perfect

Took advantage of the "In The Mix" offer and got this beast early. Already made some presets with it. It is that easily accessible you can just dive in and get creating sounds without having to thumb through a massive manual to see how to make it work - unlike some very expensive soft synths I could mention, but won't. Best money I've ever spent on a plugin. I could probably have waited for the free version but I'm not known to be a patient person (I actually really really really hate being kept waiting) and also I believe that Matt deserves to make a shedload of money out of this amazing creation.

[@VenusTheory]

For sure - the UI is one of the best things about it I think, super easy to follow and figure out without needing a 500 page manual or a doctorate in sound design haha. Definitely hoping for a huge success for Matt as well, this thing is worth it!

@Venus Theory - I enjoyed playing with their free demo and in my opinion, paying $80 for Vital Audio's top offer is a great deal, considering you get 400+ presets and 150 wavetables, if only it wasn't for the fact I recently discovered Surge XT and Dexed, both fantastic free open source synthesisers. Thanks for the informative review.

[@thisistheslam]

I’m super new to music production but Vital is a name I keep seeing around. It’s a hobby for now but I have no problem paying for products that are good and can make me better at what I want to do, faster. Super cool plugin that I intend to invest in. The free version is cool but I like more options from veteran sound designers to get me up and running - I can always iterate from there.

[@o.p.f.7668]

I can't believe that I'm just hearing about this synth right now; the capabilities are off the charts. That screechy neruo bass sold it for me. In three days my bank account is going to be 80 dollars lighter.

[@aethrya]

Yo...hopefully you get this man. I am fairly new to this but really dig Vital, so thanks for the recommendation. I also loved your "Stochas is Dopeass" video and have been playing around with both of these tools and want to use them in conjunction. One problem. When using Stochas, by using the option to map the output to multiple MIDI channels, I am able to use other synths and map the MIDI channel 1, MIDI channel 2, etc. but in Vital I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the MIDI data from Stochas' individual MIDI channels and map it to, say, one level as bass, another level as pads, another level as leads (all mapped to MIDI channels 1, 2, 3, respectively). I am beginning to fear that I am not able to do something like you did at 9:32 in the Stochas video because of this. Which sucks. But I can try to use other sounds in another synth and then port the MIDI data over to different Vital instances. It would be immensely helpful if you could help me figure this out. Thank you so much. Glad I discovered your channel, as I have learned a lot in a short period of time.
