open-vital-resources

It is a repository that provides various Vital resources (presets, wavetables, and LFOs), initiated by @atsushieno. The primary aim here is to provide various resources for open-source variants of Vital (Vitalium, Vitaloid, etc.). But of course, they are also compatible with the original Vital.

It is NOT going to be a repository that I am going to stock my creative sound works (I might do so, but not primarily). Instead, it will store some automatically converted free/open resources, often helped by batch-import-wavetables branch of my vital fork (which has a hacky "Batch Import Wavetables" command on the modified wavetable editor section, where you can specify an input directory to recursively find .wav files and then specify an output directory to recursively export as .vitaltable files).

Directory structures

Since it is not a good idea to mix various imported materials under one single resource directory, I split top level directories for each imported resource set. For example:

• KimuraTaroFreeWavetables
  • Wavetables
    • abs
      • abs1.vitaltable
      • abs2.vitaltable
      • (...)
    • (...)

Thus, when you copy the resources under Vital local condig directory (e.g. ~/.local/share/vital), you would like to copy each top directory there, instead of its User directory, so that your "User" folder contents do not get overwhelmed.

Notes

Wavetables go beyond 2048 frames. Do not forget to assign an LFO like "Saw Up" to Wavetable Key Frame.
