I can confirm Vital not working with Bitwig Studio 3.3, I’m on Ubuntu 20.unsupported
It throws these errors:

This seems to be a well discussed topic on the BW discord with multiple users reporting the issues to both sources. Hopefully they will prioritize this one.
I’ve installed the beta and it does fix the problem. Now the Vital UI remains visible when I use the mouse and I can adjust it etc. The BWS beta downloaded a ton of libraries so perhaps that’s related to this fix.
These minor point releases usually stay in beta for a few weeks then get released as proper up-issues. Pretty quick turnaround, in my opinion & experience (I’m a BWS user since 2017 apparently!).
Hi. For me, Vital doesn’t crash when loaded as a VST in Bitwig 3.3.1 until I play with my friends and have my friend’s Drumbrute as a slave and another friend connected with Ableton link. When I play with my friends, I use a digital audio interface - either a Behringer UMC404 HD or a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, last time we played Vital crashed every 5 minutes, it was easy and quick to reload the plugin so this is what I did over and over again. Although in truth, playing in this way didn’t really interfere with what we were doing, it would be nice if there were a fix to make this more stable. You can tell I like the synth if I continue to use it after it crashes 20 or so times. It doesn’t seem to crash when I just have maybe one controller connected at home. Hopefully, the next update will sort this out.
I think I have narrowed this down to using a digital audio interface - I use a Behringer umc404hd or a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. When I loaded the plugin in Ableton Live it was OK but in Bitwig I lost count of the times it crashed - every five minutes or so. It opened again really quickly so I could continue playing but it is a real pain.
