spatial awareness

Vital is a free, open source,  and highly capable, “Spectral warping wavetable synth.”  It’s free to download and use, and our presets work with the free version of Vital . You may not already know about Vital, but you probably want to.

We have a large untapped library of spatial audio recordings, so some are being put to work here, in our first preset pack for Vital as sample layers paired with Vital’s built-in wavetables. We designed a variety of sounds around the sample layers that evoke spaces, textures, and ambiences that add a special kind of depth to the sound design. All sounds were originally recorded ambisonically, which we used to create 2-channel binaural versions for these presets.
