The first few things I want to say about this plugin: it has a beautifully constructed GUI and provides an insane amount of features for the little price of zero dollars.

As a 60 *cough cough* year old skint bass player I've recently got into home recording and am getting to grips with the wonderful world of DAWs. I've downloaded a few free/cheap synths and have spent many happy hours sifting through the presets without the faintest idea of how they worked. I wouldn't know an LFO from a UFO. I've tried tweaking knobs and buttons with zero success and watched numerous YT vids that left me more confused than ever. Then YT pointed me in your direction.
I am therefore eternally grateful to you for 1) introducing me to Vital and 2) explaining in clear, concise and logical terms, not only how Vital works but also simultaneuosly the basics of synthesis and which bit does what to which. Within 5 minutes I'd come up with my first, admittedly very basic, synth pad - it was like discovering as a 5 year old that I could ride a bike without stabilisers - revelatory.
Thank you so much for your tutelage. Instantly subbed and I will now begin trawling your archive. Cheers!

I find it insane how this synth is *way* better than Serum and it is FREE.

Only five days ago i was sitting in front of my PC, racking my brain over both the Massive X and the Serum demo and wether i really should spring for one of these, 200 bucks being quite a tall order.
By complete accident i found out about Vital and i absolutely could not believe it.
Now i got it and it is _everything_ i've ever wanted from a synth. It is _literally_ the best thing to have happened to me this year.

Im broke af right now, but when i have the money, i will buy the plus version... just tested the free version and it made me feel dirty man... i feel i just cracked this synth... it's just unbelievable that this synth is free.

Thanks a lot for this Matt and also Michael

Vital: hey serum can I copy your homework?
Serum: yeah just make sure you don't make it obvious
Vital: don't worry bro

[maninthecrowd]

You're a legendary tutorial maker. You can give proper teacher's a run for their money.

edit: I keep forgetting that all the features are going to be free.

[qtocarrose]

I genuinely can't believe how effective and clear you were in this video. I mean, this is NASA level or something. And I just discovered a whole new musical world, so this is a double thank you sir !

[SpeccyMan]

It's worth pointing out that not all the modulation sources are displayed on an initial preset setting. There are, in fact, 6 envelopes, 8 LFOs and 4 randoms available to you. They become available as you use up those initially displayed so after assigning (say LFO4) you will find an LFO5 available to you, and so on.

every tutorial on this channel is tip top, like always high quality and super easy to understand each step

[Akilakloud]

This is just serum with more features ... perfect

[eirikriiseandersen]

Hi! I am an old-School synth geek, and I am not opening my mouth too often, but this time I will, in a positive way.
You have a very fine approach to the matter and a fine appearance.
This is a very good teaching video as well as explaining this wonderful synth.
Keep up the good work!! Thumbs up!!

[yusufylmaz]

I can't believe this is free. I can create whatever sound I want with it with just a little trial and error. The variety of sounds you can get is amazing. LOVE IT, and IT'S FREE!

[Florian_Sieben]

Hey Michael,
I've just bought your preset pack! Finally a small way for me to support you and your work, besides the comments and likes and stuff :) Thank you for everything you do!
Btw the pack is fire 🔥👌

[lutie-ynyu]

its unbelievably lovely how polite, quiet soothing straight forward i could go on for days with talking about how you deliver your tutorials and videos, i love everything you do keep it up man you're a life saver for everyone :D

[launics]

Thanks for all the tutorials I wouldn't know so much about FL without you! Thanks for all the years!!

[aymankumar]

I lost hope in making music my friend, whenever I try to do something I fail, but I will keep watching your videos and learning.

[apeckx]

I was really looking forward to this tutorial and you definitely delivered! Thanks again for the excellent content and for helping so many of us to unlock our creativity
