Very good job, Keith! Vital sounds and looks like a very powerfull and nice looking wavetable synthesizer. I use Reason Europa, maybe a little bit similar product. How is Vital CPU hungry? I can see you used 18 Vital instances, with no any problem?
Edit: It is sad how the time goes by so fast. I remember that I discussed with you something almost 20 years ago…
Vital is a very powerful synth indeed, just as Serum, which the dev obviously took some (a lot of?) inspiration from.
In direct comparison however, Vital wins for its better workflow / GUI layout. Drag&Drop for connecting modulation source + destination is nothing groundbrakingly new, but having a mouse-over preview whilst dragging a source over different destinations, for me is. it’s a powerhouse of inspirational source and invites everyone to go on sound-design discovery with an unsurpassed ease of use. i never felt so deeply rooted with a softsynth before 
Vital is rather light / moderate on the CPU… even with higher unison.
the 18 instances never sound at the same time. 4 instances were used for creating the speech for example.
the problem in renoise is however, that they do not idle / auto-suspend correctly, so they are either all active in the background and use CPU or if you force the auto-suspend, their reverb and/or delay tails will get cut off.
because of that, i have had to switch to draft quality for some instances whilst working on the track.
so true. i am actually very melancholic about the passing of time and how everything decays. so don’t get me started
Thanks for your comment !
Man what a piece congrats!!Vital is so warm sounding unlike helm.I see you used 3.3 beta,how is the vst3 support?
Thanks Stoiximan! Never had an issue with any of my VST3 Plugins 
great tune both melodically and sonically…
Great job man!!!
Endgeil! How do you get this super tight bass sound? Is it experience or the right choice of plugins?
Freut mich, dass es gefällt !
bass fx chain looks like this:
Vital internal effects: compression / EQ -> Pro-Q3 (static m/s + dynamic m/s) -> OTT -> Pro-Q3 (static + dynamic).
there also is some dynamic interaction between kick + bass below 400hz, to make more room for the kick.
inside vital, the kick itself has been cut @around 70hz with an emphasis on the same frequency
and of course the usual clearance of LF rumble on all other vital instances / tracks, that are not supposed to play in the low frequency range.
created a version with non-competition-compliant drums for the sake of being able to do it in a way which was not possible in the first place:
This sound pretty perfect, except maybe the snare, it seems to have too much around 200-500 Hz or so? Maybe some shelve removing it a bit. Or maybe just the snare reverb needs a highpass. Can’t exactly say. Or try a tilt. Or is it layered then maybe the lower layer a bit quieter? Or a dip in the mids? 
Very cool track !
