Glad I saved you some time :D I think Vital is my favorite, mainly because its easy to use interface, ideal for beginners. I still need to dive into Surge XT as well.
@@optoproductions yeah Vital is pretty good. Haven't used it for a while as I bought Pigments and tend to use that a lot now. Honestly, for analogue sounds I think VCV is perfectly good enough. If you put some work into sound design and use noise, subtle pitch mod etc, it's as good as any commercial VA plugin.
@@optoproductions that's true. Nothing wrong with simplicity, but this could sound a lot better. Seems slightly disappointing when the Behringer hardware rip-offs are usually spot on! 😉
@@VirtualModular but to be fair Vital is a totally different type of synthesis. Personally, I’ll cut Behringer some slack as I think the supplied presets are a bit poor. Not really interested how this virtual synth matches the Ableton Live synth, a DAW I have no immediate intention on using. I have the Arturia set, so I’m set with VA.
@@optoproductions simply because it’s not okay to clone everything that others have invested in very recently. As you said yourself, it’s almost identical on every aspect. Especially when it comes to new gear or software. They even started copying products from smaller startups and therefore cannibalizing onto every aspect of the market… that’s no healthy competition, but misuse of corporate power. I think that kind of dominant behavior shouldn’t be supported by musicians.
@@maikvanrossum@maikvanrossum, as long as it's free, I don't see the problem. Censoring products isn't going to help anyone. That's one reason why I made this video. So people can judge for themselves. Copying happens in any business, that's what patents and lawyers are for. I agree they should have enough skilled engineers on their team and will power to create something new entirely. And I don't understand at all why they so blatantly copy a product from another manufacturer, but it's a free product, and it may be perfect for anyone starting out in music production. Would I use it myself? Nope. Do I hate Behringer for that? Nope. I do agree they shouldn't touch indie or boutique developers, but there's nothing wrong with cloning a 303 or 909. If Roland doesn't do it, who will?
@@crhkrebs if they’ve asked #Ableton if it’s okay with them to copy their synth to generate donations for charity, then I’ll definitely take back my words 👌🏻
Don't think I'll bother downloading this one! Plenty of other free VA synths that sound way better.

@@VirtualModular Definitely, although it may be a bit too advanced for people just starting out with music production.

That's hilarious they copied ableton. I hadn't heard that.
😆 It's just a copyshop at this point
Why even bother and offer these kind of ripoffs a platform…?
Why not? 🤷♂️

How is a free vst a ripoff? Especially, when Behringer asks to donate to a charity in lieu of payment?
