Here’s a couple of patches I made. I downloaded some from this thread, and well… there’s definitely some good work done, room to get inspiration, yet I can’t but also wonder… why the hell do people consider a “patch” something where there is no parameter at all mapped to Modwheel, aftertouch or even velocity? I don’t mean to be rude but seriously… I’m not asking to map all macros, but at least do the essential, come on!
Vital factory patches are awesome, one of the many things that sets it way above Serum is that they’re properly programmed, with midi controls, macros, while those in Duda’s synth were well… crap. Follow the example, please
It does come across a little rude tbh (in the context of a free patch thread).
But I think the spirit of what you’re saying is encouraging everyone to go that extra mile and show off how expressive Vital can sound using common modulation controls
Thanks
I know… that’s why I put the “disclaimer” saying being rude wasn’t my intention, I just thought there was no point at expressing my feelings on the topic in a more euphemistic/nuanced way, as well… I suppose that didn’t offend anyone, except maybe Serum factory sound designers. And even there well… since there’s plenty of “professionally distributed” patches with no midi controls mapped, my opinion on what a patch is is clearly not universally valid.
I am only a begginer to music production, so don’t expect too much… In fact I only just got my first midi keyboard for christmas. You might also want to play this sound on very low octaves (find the one that suits you). Feel free to post anything you make with it… it would be greatly apprieciated. Thank you !
Here’s two Patch templates:
1.) Slicer Dicer - Uses the audio rate modulation to slice a simple saw tooth in 3 parts. While the first and third part stay as they are, the middle part is modulated by the mod wheel.
Tip: Press a single key, go to advanced tab, watch the waveform and turn the mw.
2.) Zero - Third - Fifth - Octave: A little Arp/Seq Demo which uses the modulation curve of a modulation to restrict the pitch modulation to “resonable” values while turning the mod wheel up and down. Slicer Dicer.vital (395.7 KB) Zero - Third - Fifth - Octave Arp (MW).vital (161.4 KB)
Here’s an experimental patch which uses a “Drumkit in a Single Wavetable” to modulate another Oscillator. Please use the MW to modulate from a rhythmical pattern into “tuned noize”.
The rhythmical pattern comes from the clear transients of each single wavetable slot in the “Drumkit” wavetable. If you play it low note and scan through it slowely you can even kind of recognize the individual isntruments. If (by the MW) we increase the pitch of the “Drumkit” the rhythm slowely dissolves into a more noize like pattern.
