Vital - Released

[zvenx]

Nice.....
Hopefully this should quieten those who wanted bread and butter (if this is their bread and butter), it sounds too sterile, it only does edm crowd.
I loveee how the bass is in my face, and the vocoder sounds great.

Hi Held. That is interesting. I haven't yet worked with Vital for a few hours in a raw. What you described is a high frequency fatigue. To much hights freqs tires our ears and may decrease productivity. I will investigate that. I hope Matt gives more information about this.

Hi Igro, I already investigated this a bit further and posted my findings in the post linked here. I hope you find it helpful viewtopic.php?p=7950333#p7950333

Isn't there a low pass filter option directly on each osc?

[theorize]

it does sound pretty crisp

How text to wavetable can be used
(I've bought the Plus version.)

Is it about spoken text

Because once I coverted all my bought and collected single-cycle waveforms (Galbanum and other stuff) to TXT files because there was a synth who could only load TXT files as waves (was it Atlantis?)

So initially I thought it's about converting TXT files to wave/-table files.

Yeah it's like text to speech but in a wavetable.
1. Right click on the wavetable, select "Text to wavetable"
2. Type something in and hit enter
3. Play a note and scroll through the wavetable.
4. To make it sound more like a voice select VOCODE mode from the first knob on the right of the wavetable.

I made 5 attempts and I didn't get it to say even a single letter, let alone a whole word. There was only an ongoing tone!

How should I have scrolled through the wavetable?

(I used the keyboard on the GUI.)

When do I get the next 5?

[Teksonik]

Yes assign an LFO or Envelope (etc) to the Wave Frame slider to sweep the table and then select the Vocode option.

You get 5 TTWT each day in the Plus version but I don't know if that's a calendar day or 24 hour period.

Ah good find, the EchoSoundWorks stuff is always great!

Dragging and dropping the LFO or ENV to the wavetable? Is it then assigned?

Will there be a manual

I have my problems with the wavetable editor, it's not that self-explaining...

Figuring out how to actually use TTWT was a pain. Here's what I did after doing the text entry thing.

1. Set LFO1 to "Saw Up"
2. Go to the Matrix tab and assign source LFO1 to destination Osc1->Wave Frame. Push the amount all the way to the right.

Now when you press a key you can hear it. Adjust the frequency of LFO1 to speak quicker or more slowly. Set LFO1's mode from Trigger to Envelope if you don't want it to loop.

PS. Keep in mind that I don't really have a clue what I'm doing, so there may be better ways to do all this stuff.

Huge thanks!

I tried it and it worked (the assigment in the matrix) but I don't have any more TTWT at the moment, have to wait a day...

I hope there will be a good manual soon because it has MANY features!

You're very welcome. It took me a while to get this far, mostly because instructions scattered about the place all assumed I had a clue, but I don't. ("scroll through the wavetable" "what through the what, now?")

Next blind fumble: use FL Studio for text to thingy and import into Vital. I have no clue at this point, but apparently it can be done. It's not as if I need all these robo-texts; I just want to learn processes.

A lot of people are running up against the text-to-wavetable limit. Since there's no way to unlock right now it I've made it unlimited until the 24th.

When you try again just make sure to click and drag up and down on the waveform while playing a note. You can automatically scroll through the words by modulating the wavetable with an "Up Saw" LFO as other people have said. I'm hoping to have a manual at some point but I think this is better suited for like a mini video tutorial.

Let me just throw in that I strongly prefer PDF manuals to videos. Much easier to ctrl-F and look for a keyword to track down the thing you half remember seeing a few months ago.

I know that a lot of other people like videos. Any chance you can do both? :-)

Use this thingy. It's also handy for when you load up something like Basic Shapes (the first Factory thingy) and you want something other than Sine.
