I have been using Vital for some time. It comes in a few flavours:
Basic: free (the version I have) - 75 presets and 25 wavetables
Plus: $25 - 250 presets and 75 wavetables
Pro: $80 - 400+ presets and 150 wavetables
This synth is has a lot of features but is very easy to use and and develop new sounds for all you soud designers. There is a lot of support through the User Forum (just like Scaler) and a large number of free sound packs. There are also quite a few commercial packs which to me shows how good it is.
It produces some really great pad sounds and leads.
For an introduction to Vital there is a video on the Reaper channel: Reaper Mania…
Vital is really great! It’s insane that this is free, as it’s better than most paid alternatives. In a few ways, I even prefer it to Arturia Pigments.
Personally, I don’t care so much for the presets it ships with - and it’s preset tagging / browsing system isn’t really that great. But there’s a huge community creating tutorials and presets for Vital, which has a lot of potential.
