    You should download it and judge by yourself, there are already a lot of presets to have a serious test.
    Imho, it's really good, very easy to use, clear interface, and a lot of possibilities.

    How it's in comparision to Viper/Access Virus Ti?

    Is there someone who had Virus?
    Adam Szabo Viper is in promo right now and I'm thinking about buying it.
    But is it worth 68 Euro if we have Free Vital?

    It's pretty awesome imo. Loving the simplicity of the routing/layout and the vocoder/wavetable thing is killer.

    Sometimes devs check 44.1 and 96 kHz ... only.

    I think it's great for a dev to try new methods. This came at a time when money might be tight for a lot of people due to job-loss etc and for me personally as well. Amazingly it's turned out to have blown away any expectations I might have had beforehand. The fact that it's even being compared to Serum and others speaks to this too.

    Hi, it does not sound like the virus. I have one and use it on the daily basis.
    Viper is the most accurate recreation of the virus. It does sounds really close.
    VITAL is really great too, on another kind.

    Though I've only had Vital for a month or so, it's already my go-to synth for everything. Like, literally. It's the first thing I reach for when I start playing around in my DAW.

    I gave Vital a try and I'm not fallen in love at all.I don't like the wavetables and the filters,not much the GUI.It will never replace Serum in my opinion.Overall I much prefer the sound of Serum and some U-He,omnisphere,Falcon,MassiveX.But this synth for free is amazing.

    On KVR you can get Fathom for 25$,it's a cool synth too.

    The sound you get out of a synth is the sound you made in it. Keep that in mind!

    Of course,but whatever I do I prefer the sound I make with the plugins that I listed above.That's just my personal opinion and my own tastes for my music.
    I don't doubt for a second some talented people will make killer music with Vital.I heard a demo of a nerd guy on KVR 100% Vital that is truly impressive.

    Yeah but I think that's more than you need.. I don't even see myself use it that often after the first day. It's a nice feature for the pro version but tbh you can do without or maybe even import your own text as a wavetable
