Free/Open Source Vital: Anyone Using It?

[Sridhar Raghavan]

I came across Vital Synth today and just beginning to explore for creating Custom Patches/Instruments.

https://vital.audio/

Found that it is supporting Custom Tuning Via Scala Files. 

I am currently playing with it in Standalone Mode and Will also use it as a VST with Band labs.

Putting this out here, just in case there are other Users who are far ahead of me in terms of Usage and Knowledge.

Thanks Sri.

ABACAB ,   Kevin  Perry

ABACAB    are   you    the   In  The MIX   channel?    I  am   a  subscriber...  Fantastic work.

In addition. There are hundreds of free patches on the Vital site.  https://forum.vital.audio/t/february-2022-free-patch-sharing-thread/8994

They are vital banks. You put them in the vital docs folder then import them from within Vital.

Thanks for posting the link to the banks again. I'd forgotten where they were. I must bookmark it!

Probably not, as I have no idea what that is...

A great free instrument. I knew Surge was open source, but is Vital now, as well?

Yes, but I upgraded to Vital Pro anyway for the  extra set of preset banks + unlimited "Text to Wavetable" access. Plus it's always nice to support indy developers if you can afford it.

"Text to Wavetable"

Whoa.

[Sridhar Raghavan]

Just in case it got buried, I want to highlight the most important aspect of VITAL, that is very exciting and of most interest to me.

Support for Indian Classical (and Alternate) Tuning via Scala files.

I already posted a Zip file containing several Scala files covering a wide range of Tuning Systems.

It works nicely as a standalone as well as with Band labs as a Plugin and the ability to create and customize Instruments through a wide range of mechanisms.

Thanks to all posters here. It is nice to see that there is already a "knowledgeable immersed" community here focused on the intersection of Band Labs and Wavetable Synths (like Vital).
