Thnks! Didn’t look from there.
what is the disadvantage of a public beta? bandwidth?
what is the advantage of a subscription/pro user? you get the beta earlier…
Bandwidth, but perhaps not the kind you’re thinking of.
The advantage of limiting a beta release to a smaller number of users is that it allows the developer to limit the volume of bug reports and other feedback coming in. Opening up to a public beta can have the result of getting flooded with bug reports, often times with a lot of duplication. If there’s, say, a particular bug that’s really easy to reproduce, maybe two of your closed beta testers would report it. Whereas with a public beta, you might have a hundred copies of it to sift through. And that’s on top of all the other reports that aren’t dupes!
But right there you just confirmed that a wider beta release would find more bugs.
I don’t necessarily look at having to beta test a new version as a privilege, more like a task. Those who paid more are working to help provide a bug free new version for those who paid nothing.

Alright I’m not supporting opengl for older macs. there’s some graphical glitches I’m still trying to nail down but hopefully it should look mostly correct.
It’s most of the changes, I need to add that I put in CLAP plugins
Is there going to be an AAX version with this release? I like Vital and would use it more if I could run it natively in Pro Tools.
Yes, i can confirm that on MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16"
When will the update be available to everyone?
Yes,. when is the update available for all?
I guess when the test period is over.
Should be soon! Just finishing up some things.
Yay I do have visual !! but… the glitches, well how about I name that a stroboscope? lol
It is flickering constantly now. So still work to do, I’m sorry to say.
By the way, the new features seems to do work ok ! Just the annoying flickering to get rid off if possible.
Hopefully you can find the cause of that too.
much appreciated. looking forward to torture testing. (with a safe word of course, I’m not a barbarian)
Love this update but I noticed a few things
Seems like after flicking through presets and closing and opening Vital a few times, the 3D display on the wavetable doesn’t display correctly.
Also I feel the automation circles should have an outline around them like 1.0.8 had. It looks a bit weird to just see part of the rotary and there’s no individual way to change the color behind it without effecting something else (that I can see). Maybe a thin outline that can be the same color as the rotary color
But other than that this update is🔥
I am on an iMac 2020 running Monterey 12.3.1
Also the type on the Macro names aren’t centered. Macro names that fit on 1.0.8 don’t fit now.
