Serum is my #1 tool and with v2 + Zebra 3 I’ll be in heaven.

Indeed, most certainly linked to translation.

They're both fine, nobody who listens to your music will know what you use.

Check out Vaporizer2 from VAST Dynamics ... free hybrid wavetable synth.

But is Current simply not Vital anyway?
They seem to be the same only a bit of tarting up. Plus, from what I saw, Vital went quiet over a year ago. Ergo methinks Matt sold/licensed to Minimal Audio

Hmm, they do look and feel similar. They sound similar too.

I feel like Current has more kinship with Pigments though, and also seems pretty heavy CPU wise, depending on the patch of course. Some of those pads are just unusable- aurally great but seemingly designed to be as CPU taxing as possible.

Current leans a bit more on the look of Pigments (and a few others for that safe feeling of familiarity) but overall smells exactly like Vital with a bit of lipstick

Vital has the remapping function (Serum only in the OSC).
Does Current have some type of remapping?

Current does quite a few things that Vital does not, or doesn’t do as fully: FM oscillation, disperse mode (think Phase Plant, but more tweakable in real-time), intuitive envelope sync, to name a few.

Even though the arpeggiator is not as fully realized as Ana 2, it has one and a chord mode. Serum, nope.

On an M1 Max, there is no significant CPU usage.

It’s an interesting synth that is way more than a clone of anything else. IMO, the workflow is quite a bit better than Vital/Serum/Phase Plant/Pigments, but YMMV.

Damn soundpeaks, that's some insanely detailed comparison -- no idea how long it's been there but that's as good as it gets comparison wise, nice job.

There's something about both Serum and Vital I don't get. Both are obviously very well featured Synths.
They are not Synths that inspire new and unusual sounds that my ears want to hear.

SERUM VS VITAL
