What iOS synth is most like Vital Synth on desktop?
I’ve been really working on integrating iOS and desktop lately. I really like Vital Synth on the desktop and I am interested in people’s opinions on which iOS synths are most like Vital?
Btw, Vital is free, if you’re curious, and there are already tons of free presets out there already.
Comments
Depends on which of Vital's features are important to you but Drambo's Wavetable Oscillator has that kind of "spectral warping" built in (the WT OSC is a rack that you can add "Wave Effects" to which will do just that), you can import your own wavetables, you have a wide choice of filters and effects and almost endless modulation options.
Thanks, I hadn’t thought of Drambo.
Any other ideas, folks?
It’s a tough one depending on what you like about Vital. If it’s the killer workflow, UI, and selection of effects, pretty sure there’s nothing quite like it on iOS.
The wavetable features in Drambo are really nice, I agree with rs2000. That would also be my go to personally. But the modular workflow isn’t for everyone.
Synthmaster 2 might be the closest.
Sugar Bytes Factory does wavetable things too. It’s a fun one imo.
Animoog is worth mentioning, as it makes a good use of the touch screen to do wavetable-ish things. (But the architecture is nothing like Vital.)
To answer your question, I think the now free MELA 2 is a good candidate. Nice and easy workflow, many effects, easy to adjust the enveloppe of each of the 4 oscillators. Give it a try!
Than you @ohwell and @Montreal_Music!
My only suggestion would be Buttersynth....but not for any UI comparison...😃
Great news! Vital is open source and I was able to compile it for IOS, added (via AI) some tweaks (such as a randomizer) and have it close to the same as the desktop version! I will upload the source code and an .ipa to github this weekend. Will post a link here.
i am working on synth which takes a lot of inspiration from vital and serum, i guess planned release somewhere in late autumn … will be both for iPhone and iPad

Looking forward to it! And your recreation of NS2! 😆 😎✌🏼
Let me say it this way.
This synth is just part of much larger project of mine, on which I need to work probably one more year, so I decided to release just this “small” part of that monster project as standalone app 🤫
No other leaks for now, I expect first leaks shortly after I release the synth
Just to avoid speculations - no, i don't have NS2 source code 
this is the definition of "instabuy"
😎✌🏼 +1
goddammit, sounds fantastic

Oscidia (highly underrated synth) and Blofeld should get you close. And of course, there is Synthmaster 3.
I think Wail is most like Vital. You just have to fold up the W, switch the position of A and I and put a T in the middle. There you go.
Dendy, you naughty boy. Instabuy on the synth. AND when you release the DAW I will buy that….even if there are no audio tracks but I will need au automation.
i would never think for a second about releasing DAW without full AU automstion and audio tracks with realtime time stretch and pitch shift after all those years seeing people complaining about missimg audio tracks and full au automation in NS2 lol 🤣🤣🤣
I keep asking myself why no one has done the whole serum/vital clone thing yet on iOS, I'm not about to throw in the old "it should be easy to code" rubbish but I'm pretty sure there's an appetite for it in the market place, I'd pretty much pay whatever the asking price is, even if it was up in the highest of prices, imho were sorely missing something of that calibre.
Vital is GPLv3 so you can’t put it on the App Store.
I know I wasn't saying that we need a direct clone of either, we just need a dev to give us a really decent contemporary synth in the vein of serum or vital, with a healthy dose of equally contemporary patches and jumping off points, let's be real about it, do we really need another old school analog rehash? How about something blatantly digital, that can do super harsh or modern bass sounds and leads or mega lush jungle or dnb style pads, that's what I'd like, basically serum for iPads, I've already dropped the money for serum and if I could have it in the palm of my hand I'd probably pay the same again..
This looks amazing. I need to start figuring out how to use GitHub and get this installed!
This is pretty dang cool. Is there a step by step process of how to be able to actually use this? Is it on the github page?
If you don't want to pay $99 a year for a developer account, you can use SideStore which uses a clever way to auto renew a free certificate (the normal limit is 7 days), but you'll be limited to 3 apps
Linear interpolation on audio (regular old speed change) would be great too. I would actually use Cubasis more if it had this.
do you mean this ?
btw. that sound was generated by my synth ;-)
Mmmmm, yes yes, nice! Also, those nodes on the object look nice and grabbable.
One thing I always loved (from Samplitude) is the option for a half height waveform display.
yeah they are dasggable and also body of left and right one is draggable to adjust lin / log / exp curve
i like that one .. taking note
beauty!
