Theme: Machinery Create a Vital patch that reflects the theme and submit it to this post before Mar 24th to have it entered into the March 2022 Vital Compo. The best submitted patches will be announced in next months post
Some patches for inspiration: Machinery.vitalbank (4.9 MB)
Note, machine does not necessarily mean mechanical, it’s a combination of parts with definite functions that together perform a particular task.
What is Vital Compo?
Vital Compo is a casual monthly competition focused mainly on motivating and inspiring people to practice their sound design using Vital.
How do I submit my entry?
To submit your entry, upload your patch to this post. If you’re a new user and can’t upload a file, post a google drive link. Optionally, you can submit a quick demo showcasing how your patch is meant to be played.
If you would like to submit multiple entries, simply repeat the process. You are encouraged to submit more than 1 patch each month, but you will only be judged for the last 5 you post.
What are the requirements?
You can only submit patches that were made during the compo time frame.
Taking inspiration from other patches is allowed, but outright copying is not.
Adhering to the theme is not an rule, feel free to make whatever you want, it just won’t score high in themeing.
What do I win?
The free patches people submitted

Vital is the best Soundmashine. Hope someone likes the patches i made! The Vitalsound Mashine 05.vital (2.2 MB) Wavemashine Surfersfavorit.vital (246.1 KB) Widemashine Bass.vital (288.2 KB)
I made them in 90 and 172 Bpm. You can play them all together and you can bypass the LFOs on the Macros(The Vitalsoundmashine 05) if you want to tweek some Nobs. Don´t now if they are usefull!
Google drive wants too much personal info to sign up, not giving them my phone and birthdate and all that. I’ll wait until I can post directly. See you next month!
Before this competition was announced, I started with the question of “What would binary sound like?” and resulted in this bank.
I hope you consider binary sort of a machine
The basic concept behind this is take each of the 8 LFOs as a byte (8 bits). Each LFO is half the frequency of the previous LFO and each is a bit (on or off)…what can we do with that? Turns out, its the basics of music… (duh…1/8th note, 1/4th note, etc), but fun anyways.
I used LFO chains to control oscillators transpose, level, or other parameters to get music like sounds out of them.
It was a good learning experiment in how to use the mod matrix.
Out of this bank, the following are my submissions:
BinaryBitSlap3.vital
BinaryBitCount.vital
BinarycountingScale3.vital
BinaryControlledSequence.vital
BinaryControlledSequence3.vital
For the interested, I built each patch on top of the previous in this order:
BinaryBitSlap.vital
BinaryBitSlap2.vital
BinaryBitSlap3.vital
BinaryBitCount.vital
BinarycountingScale.vital
BinarycountingScale2.vital
BinarycountingScale3.vital
BinaryControlledSequence.vital
BinaryControlledSequence2.vital
BinaryControlledSequence3.vital
Maybe “Rise from Hell to heaven” 16bars risers that leed in to the sky.
Or, “Sampling is not a crime” organic Sounds mashing up static Oszillators.
Got another one “I 'm under your bed” Scary, creepy sounds from the Monsters under your bed that ceeps you awake in the darkest nights.
Just for Inspiration. Thank you for your time you invest here big ups
