I downloaded some vital presets yesterday and i looked the file there’s only bunch of vital files there’s alot of them and i tried to convert it to vitalbank but i dont know how
is it really possible to covert it?
Vitalbanks are great for sharing a set of vital patches as a single file.
But once you have the patches, it’s probably overkill to create a vitalbank just to import them to use.
Instead, you can copy the files to the correct folder on your computer:
- Find your “Vital” folder.
- Create a sub folder (e.g. “From the web”)
- In this new folder, create a sub folder “Presets”
- Copy all your .vital files into the “Presets” sub folder.
To find your vital folder:
- Open Vital
- Open the Preset Browser
- Right-click on the Factory folder, and select “Open File Location”
- The Factory folder lives within your Vital folder
If you have downloaded wavetables (i.e. .wav or .vitaltable) then these need to be copied into a “Wavetables” sub folder - the same level as the “Presets” directory.
.vitalbank files are effectively zip files with a different extension.
So you can use your computer’s compress (zip) facility to create vitalbanks:
-
Create a folder stucture like this:
<name of vital bank>
- Presets
- Wavetables
- Skins
- LFOs -
compress the folder
-
change the exention from .zip to .vitalbank
You can also create a vitalbank from within Vital, via the Export Bank option on the “burger” menu.
Note, using this method:
- You can only create a vitalbank from presets/wavetables/lfos stored in your “User” folder
- You can’t include skins in the vitalbank
