Blabla… he is sooo busy with his daytime job so that he cant post a single sentence here regarding the future of Vital 
He lost all his credibility with this “moves”.
This answers questions - it’s still being worked on, great

Let me ask you all this:
What changes?
If Matt confirms he’s not working on Vital?
If Matt confirms he’s is still working on Vital?
Nothing really changes except your perspective? Version 1.5.5 is still current version
So with this in mind, go make music. Synth or no synth.
If you think Matt doesn’t deserve your support after giving us Helm, Vital, and more - just leave why post lol
All of us are here cause we care about Vital and still use it regularly. Please, it’s literally just a plug in, I beg you to go make music with whatever tools you have, Vital or not.

He has confirmed he’s still working on it, last updated in late 2023. Posting occasionally on a forum doesn’t correlate to whether someone is actively creating music.
Vital is a great/amazing plugin, and being interested in its development is perfectly OK as a community of music creators.
I’m currently using it while completing 4 sample packs this week, it’s great - I still allow myself time to occasionally check my emails, and thus see posts here, and respond. Everyone has their own lives and workflows! For a lot of of people different plugins and feature updates can bring inspiration/interest to their ongoing workflow - yes any tool could do the job and it’s best to master what you have but there’s no harm in asking if something new is round the corner.

This was 571 (!) days ago…
If anyone has actual contact with Matt, they should tell him , that clarification on the subject of “Vital”, is expected by many fans of his work.
Matt can say that he doesn’t yet what to do with “Vital”. He may say that the current version is sufficient. Or he can boast that there will be updates in some time. Or…
I was born in 1975 and I look at the development of synthesisers with detachment, and the current “Vital” is an amazing progression in terms of over 40 years, for those who make music. Others are looking for gadgets and “upgrades” because they have confused musical instrument with computer programs that require constant updates.
Such is life that projects emerge , develop and reach an end. Young children do not understand this.

that’s a lot of words for ‘I don’t get those new kids’. Jokes (and banter) aside, brands that produce hardware have always sought for progressing their own work, usually through new physical devices. technology develops and progresses. This can be a good thing, and has brought us many many developments in or toolsets and in music in general. electronic music incorporates technology, the two are intrinsically interwoven, whether or not you want them to be. Even acoustic instruments have developed, but at a slower rate over time. Over wise we would all still be playing lutes instead of guitars, harpsichords instead of keys etc.

For me “Vital” is a tool for making music. I have over 450 presets on it etc. I can modify them into thousands of presets. There is micro tuning. I can play with it for another 100 years[if the computer allows].
As you write yourself, development goes slowly and Vital is about 5 years old.
For me, the quality of the sounds hasn’t changed much over the last decade or so. You can listen to the old “Alchemy Player” from “Camel Audio”. There is a ne retro fashion at the moment.
I’m all for the development of music hardware and software. But I don’t want to force someone to update “Vital” when he has other development plans.After “Helm” came “Vital”. I think it’s a good swap and development.
Maybe there will be updates for “Vital”. Maybe others will do it. Or Maybe “Vital” will stay as it is and continue to be a usable instrument, like an acoustic harp from thousands of years ago.

I’m new here but I think I’ll answer your question.
No one here knows of any update from Matt and Matt probably doesn’t read this forum because he has other responsibilities.
If anyone has contact with Matt , they should ask him if he would like to inform the fans of his plans because they are getting impatient and some are even behaving rudely and ungratefully[which can be ignored].
