    Without a doubt, this is one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Vital is soooooooo deep, and when I was hearing sequences in some of the presets, I was confused and wondered if I had a crippled version of Vital because I searched high and low for an arpeggiator/sequencer but didn't find one. Now, in one fell swoop, I learned about modulating Filters and Oscillators with an LFO, using the Sample & Hold function, Stereo automation, etc. Thanks for your tutorial.

    Great tutorial here. This is one of my favorite modular tricks...with a delay and also a sync'd/modulated Amp envelope so you get a (feels like) polyrhythm with seemingly "random" melody/gate. Very cool to see your final product here.

    Excellent video. I've been messing with EDM/DAWs and so on for years and years and thought I knew most of the techniques, but I didn't understand this one or what it was called (a sequence!). I knew about pads, textures, arps, and so on, and I guess I assumed the arp melodies were just arps, never a sequence built into the synth.
    I have Serum, Massive, Massive X, Pigments, and Vital. Out of all these excellent VSTs, for the life of me, I can't get Vital to work for long without choking the CPU. Even with just one in a track. All the other VSTs work great. I sure hope the developers will do something about it someday soon. There are scores of Vital tutorials out there and I basically have to translate any of them of interest into the other VSTs at this point.

    I'm speechless. Can I ask from where this knowledge comes from? I was having fun with full version of vital but most of it was just enabling random option just to check how will it change during the process, but obviously U knew what to push and where to change the whole project into something that was running as an idea in your mind.

    • @s1gns0fl1fe

      Thank you so much! Vital doesn’t have a proper arpeggiator, but using the LFOs to pitch lock the oscillators is a good replacement. You can also use the mod remap to affect the pitch and dial in different sequences. I highly recommend the “50 tips and tricks” video from Dash Glitch. Cheers and see you on Patreon!

    I tried with white noise and the seq became kind of percussion loop. That was really cool. I know you're fan of reso high freq sound, but is there a way to make the sound trancy like Above & Beyond or Daniel Kandi plucks? I've tried with wavetables but couldn't get there.

    I've got 2 questions:
    1-I see people in general preferring sloped/logarithmic lines instead of linear ones when using envelopes, whether for modulating amplitude, filter or whatever... is it a rule of thumb that our ear always prefers logarithmic stuff, so are we always "supposed" to use curved lines, or are there instances where you do like to shape a transient with a linear envelope for example? Hope you get my question
    2-How do you add LFOs in Vital?
    Thank you and thanks for the amazing tutorial

    • @s1gns0fl1fe
      @s1gns0fl1fe  8 місяців тому +1

      I think it's more pleasing to have a concave slope to an envelope when it comes to volume, but there are certainly instances when you'd want to use straight lines. To your second question, that's still a bit unclear. Like how do you import LFOs? Or how do you use them as modulation sources? Let me know.

      @nicolatiozzonetti7373 8 місяців тому

      @@s1gns0fl1fe Thank you for the explanation! About the second question, basically when i load vital i see 4 LFOs, at a certain point in your video now there’s also LFO 5 and lfo 6… i wonder how do you access those 2 lfos?

    • @s1gns0fl1fe
      @s1gns0fl1fe  8 місяців тому +2

      As soon as you use all 4 of the LFOs, the 5th will show up. Use the 5th and it’ll add a 6th and so on. You can have up to 8.
