Vital - Released

[liquidsound]

I wish Vital got the developer attention it deserves. It's my favorite of the synths I own, and it's disappointing to see that it effectively looks abandon, although I don't believe that to be the actual case. Maybe life changed for Matt and he can't put time into it... Anyway, it's mostly functional for me, so I keep using it.

It should go into good hands like Surge

Yeah, maybe. Although I really like Matt's design decisions, and there's a chance things would gravitate away from those decisions in a way that I don't like. I'm not a fan of Surge from a UI standpoint. Not that Vital would have to go to that team - but still the same point.

Surge UI is shit. But everything else about this plugins rocks...

Not that bad… but it was mostly coming from the original designer. So it would probably be the same for Vital if a team could take over.

I havent used surge for years because of the UI, oh boy what a mistake. To be fair, after using it for a while, you get used to the UI and workflow, everything is on 1 page, thats pretty good compared to other synths. And surge is craazy powerful, you got so many effects. Its my go to synth now. The sounds you can make with it are mindblowing

Is Vital abandonware?

That's subject to debate. I don't consider it abandonware yet. I'm still hoping Matt has the opportunity to put more time into it. I did pay for the highest tier version of it, and have no regrets there. But would love to see more things cleaned up and just have some stronger sense of support.

Personally I'm always thinking about what the future holds with changing technology/software, and don't want to be in a spot years from now where the latest OS doesn't support X or X doesn't run on the latest OS/CPU/whatever. I personally will abandon some synths if I feel like that's what the future holds for them.

Vital is too good, though. I really love the darn thing.

Hope doesn't necessarily make it true or untrue...however considering there hasn't been a lick of new or revised work on Vital in a year, (since the release of V1.5.5), I'd say that gets us pretty close to abandonware.

Vital : abandonware
Serum 2 : phantomware
Zebra 3 : mythware
There's obviously a curse on all these wavetables

[liquidsound]

Yes a completely nightware!

Surge UI is shit. But everything else about this plugins rocks...

Not that bad…

Yeah I wouldn't say it's shit. Just very, very basic, and slightly different from everyone else. And very orange, until you skin it.

If I would use it more often I would definitely skin it.
Why orange… but at least is not as bad as Phase Plant that looks like an unfinished Concrete Building
Give me the orange over that one anytime

[stoopicus]

You can skin Phase Plant too, you know.

I didn’t know that! Is this something accessible to a regular human though?
Then I want it ORANGE!

Hahaha go for it

It's not the easiest in that there's no in-plugin editor but it is not so bad:

I have to stick with Concrete (if I ever buy PP).
Too much work!
