[ANN] New Wavetable Synth: "Vital"
I didn't see this posted elsewhere, so I thought I'd share:
Matt Tytel (developer of Helm), is coming out with a new wavetable synth called, "Vital". See links below:

(moderation note: removed 'open source', as the source hasn't been opened (yet))

I couldn't find where it's announced that it's Open Source.

New Synth in the Works
I’m working on a new synth! The goal: create the most popular synthesizer in the world.. Not sure if that’s achievable, let alone measureable, but if I hit a million downloads I think I’ll call it a success.
So you want to hear about features. You’ll have to stay tuned for more blog posts then! I can tell you now that there are some analog modelled filters (ZDF, WTF? BBQ), interesting modulation capabilities and a very visual and animated UI (with low CPU usage).
And for those wondering, this new synth will be open-source and pay-what-you-want like just like Helm.

Re: [ANN] New Open Source Wavetable Synth: "Vital"
I just emailed Matt to get the word straight from him:
Yep!
Hi Matt,
Will Vital Synth, like Helm, be an open source project that supports Linux? Thank you in advance for your response!

Dang, even more hyped for this now... It's really cruel of them to keep teasing us like this.

Re: [ANN] New Open Source Wavetable Synth: "Vital"
Matt Tytel deserves a lot of praise.
Not only for releasing high quality libre software, but also for setting the bar higher for everyone else and for selling his stuff, yes - libre software developers too need to feed themselves, and charging money for good products like Helm and Vital without compromising its licensing sends a strong message of self-respect to all libre software developers who don't do it as a hobby.

Re: [ANN] New Open Source Wavetable Synth: "Vital"
If this delivers what it promises (and open source) it will be a "game changer", but looking at the business model (free-25$-80$)
I don't think it will be open source .. at least not initially.
Who knows...

Re: [ANN] New Open Source Wavetable Synth: "Vital"
I've used the standalone, the LV2, and the win vst3 via wine,
and it's a great instrument, super easy to get under the hood with the
many visuals. A link to intro pricing still available I think in the notes at this youtube page:

Re: [ANN] New Open Source Wavetable Synth: "Vital"
All though I'm not following it closely, I expect it to be open source (partly?). Then you pay for the presets and wavetables.
Then it would be a interesting business model. Releasing a open source synth and still be able to buy some bread.
