Note:
I thought it might be useful (for new users especially) to have a single place to find free patches. At the end of the month I can collect them all up and re-post them as a Vital bank.
I thought this thread could be limited to free stuff. Producers of commercial patches can have their own threads and thus make a bit more of a fanfare to promote their super sounds.
I made a Vital preset based on a recording of me hitting a Coke bottle. The method for splitting the source into its noise and tonal aspects and mixing them back together was inspired by @jazensounds video about making a kalimba sound in Vital. Coke Bottle Percussion.vital (181.0 KB)
(Jazen if you see this, would you mind giving me some tips on how to make this better? I’ll include the original sound and the tonal and noise components below for reference)
Love sounds like this! My recommendation is rather than using a single resonant peak to emphasize the fundamental of the noise, try going for a phaser filter which has multiple peaks like this and offers a more complex tone. My go to value to get it in tune is the cutoff at 45.46 with keytrack all the way up. I usually will play with resonance values somewhere between 95-100% (you can even automate this with an envelope!). I attached a version of this with some of the tweaks I mentioned. coke bottle pluck.vital (277.7 KB)
Wow, I really appreciate your quick response! I love what you’ve done with the preset, but I also think it’s too kalimba-like compared to the original recording of the bottle hit. I also started over with modeling the sound and tried to get things to sound more true to the original recording and I think I’ve succeeded with that. The preset is now called “bottle pluck”
Ok as soon as it is Christmas I will share one of my Vital Cinematic patches currently unreleased.
I am playing around with some standard modulation stuff but the effect is quite impressive. This patch is called “industry” and was remade in one of my latest YouTube videos which you can find just searching my name.
Any how please enjoy the sound design and it s great place to reverse engineer to see how it is made or you can just check out the video too
Merry Christmas Everyone and here is to another year with Vital. And by the sounds of things some big updates too from @Tytel coming in 2022.
N.B. the vital banks now follow a YYYY-MM naming convention when downloaded and imported into Vital. If you have downloaded previous Free Patch Sharing Thread vital banks and want to rename them to follow the new naming convention, you can find instructions here .
