I don't know why they got banned, but I don't think it has anything to do with the OSC or this thread in particular. If you do decide to join, you can expect a warm reception in this corner of KVR. Welcome.

Not sure if I'll get this finished in time, but here's a WIP from me :-

Nice to see that someone uses them! And you used them very well.

Like your WIP so far a lot. Very groovy and well played.

Merry Christmas all!

Here's my submission for this month's OSC. I wanted to make a more traditional type of festive song that summed up 2020 (at the end) and with Lyrics but i gave up in the end with trying to tune & time multiple instances for the TTWT. I opted for a single vital instance for the Chorus's lyrics and another vital instance for the spoken chords throughout.

Vital is an amazingly powerful synth, still can't believe it is available for free. I would have liked more time to tidy things up a bit with the mastering and maybe trim some of the Christmas fat off it, but I have just been so busy.

Maybe January's and Februarys could be vital again?! - have so many ideas I want to do for different tracks

Ableton Live 10

30 instances Vital

A1 TriggerGate x 1, NEOLD V76U73 x 6, OTT x 4, bx subfilter x 1
bx Rooms x 4, bx Delay2500 x 1, Wider x 1, Saturate x 1, Sandman x 1
dearVR Pro x 2, SPL Twin Tube x 1, SPL Vitalizer x 2

EQ8 x 20, Delay x 4, LFO x 1
Saturator x 6, Glue Compressor x 10
Auto Filter x 2, Utility x 20
Drum Buss, Limiter x 2

mastering
SPL Passeq
Elysia Alpha Compressor
bx-XLV2

Yeah, not the first sentence here. And I'm joining in!

Of course, I understand that this raises a lot of difficult questions about the organization. But in December, most people really don't have much time, and so great synth like Vital risks not getting the attention and recognition it deserves, and even some frustration (but he's cool anyway!). So I would also like to spend another OSC month with Vital! What could it be? I don't know... Continuation of the Vital month? New Vital month? Vital without commercial effects? Vital with no effects at all? Best Christmas / New Year Song with Vital? Merry Vital? Happy New Vital?..

I do not know, but if a lot of OSC'ers really want it and make a wish, maybe a Christmas and New Year miracle will happen and this will become possible!

Happy new Year to all!!!

100% the same here. Vital's capabilities and ease of use is a greater source of inspiration than i could've ever hoped for in a single OSC month.
i have meanwhile 5 vital WIP projects of which 2 are about 98% finished.

so i also would definately enjoy another round / month in january for vital.

Wouldn’t this be of concern, that means a two, possibly three month opportunity to make a track, rather than the 1 month deadline.
i’m not against the idea of Vital again, although there are other synths available ( exact lite?)
maybe, alternative Synth challenge involving vital, no prizes, just the joy of making?

Someone, having a calendar month, (for various reasons) makes a track in two, possibly three hours!

Imagine what they could do if they had six hours in two months?!

Of course, playing for fun is also a good variant!

I don't want Vital again for next month. Vital doesn't work on my computer. Obviously i haven't tried Vital yet, and i'm new to Osc, so i don't really understand what the excitement about Vital is.

However, it is also true.

That sucks not being able to use it. Did you get anywhere with finding out why?

You're right it wouldn't be fair, maybe one to use on the next "any synth" round then.

Yeah, I would definitely vote against an immedate follow-up month for Vital. But definitely expect and look forward to it showing up again! Maybe I'll have enough time to actually make something that doesn't suck... maybe the next few days will let me do that this month! But oh, Witcher 3, you entice me so...

You should most definately give Vital a more in depth shot, it's one beast of a softsynth ! The first one which truly radiates that "everything is possible" feeling for me. I'm sure Ciri will be fine without your help the next four days
