Vital - Released

[AlQuzMar]

What's the "security issue "?

The person didn't elaborate, just asked to talk with the dev. It likely isn't that good an idea to go public with it before even trying to reach the dev bc ppl could then exploit it. But we don't know if it already has been exploited. So if Tytel isn't going to get involved with it then maybe it'd be better to make it public to give them a bit pressure and warn people about it.

Well if someone said something cryptic on discord with zero details it must be real and important

It's not like people make these claims every day. We don't know, it might as well be real and important. We wouldn't be having this discussion if there actually was means to contact the dev without getting lucky with it. Then ppl wouldn't need to ask about it on Discord.

people have been making all kinds of claims about how the developer of their free plugin won't respond to a myriad of requests

So let's invent the mysterious "security" flaw that involves a plugin used in your DAW, let's give out zero information so it can further fuel speculation on how much the developer of the free plugin we have won't respond or something

The Security threat of any plugin downloaded from a an official source is exceeding low

The security threat from a cracked copy of some paid software you are downloading from some shady web server as zip file or an executable installer is significantly higher

Who's the conspiracy theorist now? Someone reported finding a security vulnerability, and you're dismissing it as some plan to spread FUD. It's entirely possible for a plugin to have vulnerabilities. For instance, a bug in the deserialization code could be exploited by a malicious patch you download. Simply reporting a possible vulnerability is not suspicious, and keeping the details private so that the developer has a chance to fix it before anyone starts exploiting it is good reporting practice. So give your suspicions a rest until you have more information, hmm?

Hm, shouldn't this synth be considered as dead now, sadly?

[Old Norse]

It sounds very much alive here in my house.

It has clearly been dead/abandoned for a while, especially considering several of the non-free perks (such as prioritized support, subscriber-only packs, etc.) are not delivered as promised. It's possibly even a breach towards the consumer but I'd let someone more certain of it handle that topic. Either way, deader than a doornail.

Maybe the further development is dead, I wouldn't say so about the synth itself - talk about Synth1, Sylenth1, Odin2, TAL NoiseMaker ecc...

It's not dead....

It's just resting

... and it smells funny.

Odin 2 appears to be getting an update. Scroll down on the Wave Warden’s page.

There is no date on the site, but at least, github shows some activity.

It doesn't matter if it is called as dead or abandoned it's a great synth !
I have bought the plus pack years ago and rediscovered it.

Even in it's actuall state it has the best resynthesis results for wavetable synths worldwide. Especially for vocals and effects are the results fantastic, even better as these from Serum 1 or 2 and better as with Icarus or Hive.
The dsp oscillator modulators are also great and of course the overall userfriendly easy of usage.
The only thing I am missing is copying oscillators and saving effect modules on the fx page.
The only weakness with Vital are resonances in the LP BP and HP filter when it goes beyond 50 %. They have a bit plastic character.
The sound quality can even be improved with the EQ and Multiband-Compressor.

This made me chuckle.
