How to Use Vital: Beginner’s Tutorial

Vital is the free wavetable synth that gives Serum a serious run for its money, and it is one of the best things you can install as a new producer on any budget. This five-minute beginner tutorial from FL Studio Basics gives you a quick tour of how Vital works: the oscillators, filters, envelopes and its drag-and-drop modulation, which makes movement easy to add. Why it is a fresh way to get producing: Vital costs nothing for the basic version, so there is no barrier to experimenting. Its visual design shows you exactly what every modulation is doing, which makes it one of the best synths for actually learning sound design rather than just loading presets. Watch the tour, then try making a pluck, a pad and a bass from an init patch. The skills transfer directly to Serum and other wavetable synths, so the time you spend in Vital is never wasted.
