Часто задаваемые вопросы
- Is Vital completely free?
- Yes. The Vital free tier includes all oscillators, wavetables, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and effects. The paid Pro version ($25/year) adds extra wavetables, additional warp modes, eight-voice unison, and priority updates.
- Does Vital work on macOS and Linux?
- Vital runs on Windows (VST3) and macOS (VST3 and AU). Linux support is available as a VST3 build through community repositories.
- Can Vital read Serum presets?
- No. Vital uses its own .vital preset format, which is JSON-based and fully open. Serum uses the proprietary .fxp format.
- How do I reduce CPU usage in Vital?
- Reduce the unison voices, lower the sample rate in your DAW project settings, and freeze or bounce Vital tracks when not actively editing.
- Can I use Vital on mobile or iPad?
- No desktop plugin version works on mobile. Vital is a VST3/AU plugin that requires a DAW running on a computer.
- How do I install custom wavetables in Vital?
- Download the .vital wavetable file and place it in Documents/Vital/Wavetables/ (Windows) or ~/Documents/Vital/Wavetables/ (macOS). Restart Vital.
