Thank you :) glad you liked it. I think there were already a few videos on the topic, but well... I thought I had a few missing details to share

Thank you :)

Thank you :) happy you like it

Definitely one of the reasons I haven't been making videos for a while :D

Likewise, but really there was quite some talk about it in the forum. It's not out for everyone yet though, only pro users and subscribers, Matt Tytel keeps promising to release it for everyone else "soon"

Hopefully, not bought out by NI only to have it wither on the vine like Absynth…

My pleasure

After some tinkering, it seems basically that the knob will slide the shape you draw up and down the frequency spectrum, and the phase slider will expand and contract the shape. 😃

Thanks. I had thought something like that, but forgot to mention it in the video :)

Wow! Interesting.

the name "data compress" and what it does to more complex samples reminds me of mp3 compression, that kinda sound you get after exporting at a low quality

Yes, I mentioned it later in the video

Apparently like everything or so in vital they're not very computationally cheap. Yes, I myself got the paid version for this, up to this update, from a sound designer standpoint, there was nearly no reason to get a paid version, but in retrospect I have to say the added wavetables are quite nice, and the presets are interesting material to study.

@@platipo Thanks for the reply!

I'm not too sure I get your point, I think what would happen is well... kinda the same thing that would happen doing the that with any other parameter, you'd have the modulation happen that 1/3rd of a second later, and then you'd hear all the reflections from the delay.

@@platipo It's the way I do sounddesign to compare how a modulation affects the sound. I like the new features a lot and am sure these in turn will help create even more interesting sounds and evolving melodic and non-melodic sonic textures.

Yep!

yep, somebody actually pointed that out already, I kinda had thought of that, but I failed to put it in words making the video, thanks for the comment :)

For now, the beta is only available to paying users, so yes. But well, the 1.5 should be released for everyone sometime soon, so it'll eventually be available to every user

As I mentioned at the end of the video or so, it is for now a sort of open Beta, available to subscribers and pro users, though very stable, it was supposed to be released sometime in june, but that apparently didn't happen yet, as it is often the case with software

@@platipo Thanks a lot for your answer!

If you're a subscriber or pro user, you should find it here account.vital.audio/?product=vital

Sure thing, though I might disagree by 2 cents :D, why are you pointing this out here?

It doesn't on my computer, and neither it does on the computer of many people I know. You might think of going to the Vital forum and reporting the bug

@@platipo There are a few posts on the forum reporting the same issue but so far no fix. I'll keep checking because this is an amazing synth.

1.5.5 has sorted the issues.

But it also works beautifully for many others. I personally didn't find but very minor bugs

Well, AFAIK Vital Audio is like a one man company, this has been obviously in the works for quite some time and well... it is imho quite a big update, it adds a bunch of interesting features many people had been asking for... Perfection doesn't exist, I myself had my own desires about Vital's evolution, and guess what, none of those were satisfied, but I'm still happy with what I got, I didn't know I wanted it, but now that I have it, I'm definitely not complaining :)
