I’d like to create some whalesong using Vital. Can it be done? If so, can anyone tell me how, step by step please. I’m new to all this and have a lot to learn, but need this for an idea - thanks
I’m no ace at synths but I love Vital and learning to utilize wavetables. Not that I use wavetables to any great extent for a whale sound – does your midi controller keyboard have a pitch bend wheel? That helps with whale type sounds a lot. You can usually use one of your apps like your DAW to assign different values to the wheel if it bends a pitch too much (a key you’re pressing and bending with the wheel) or too little. Then you can pick a Vital preset that’s close to a very a simple sine wave or beep or whine, bend it to and fro, and add fx with vital or others specifically reverb and delay. You’ll sound whaley fast. What I don’t get, right now, is where to click to start a new topic on this forum, lol. Best of luck.
P.S.
My favorite whale song technique is actually analog. I bought an assembled “OpenTheremin” theremin from Etsy. Its base, simple wave is perfect. Put on some delay (echo) and ample reverb and play around with the values as you wave your hands around and you’ll be a Cetacean in no time! Plus vintage UFO vibes etc.
