The record

Product: Vital is a spectral warping wavetable synthesizer.

Wavetable creation: Users can convert samples with pitch-splice or vocode, edit wavetables, or generate them from text.
Modulation: Vital supports drag-and-drop modulation, audio-rate modulation, stereo-splittable LFOs, keytracked LFOs and custom envelope curves.
Sound tools: The feature list includes two routable voice filters, eight routable effects, an oscilloscope and a spectrum viewer.
Controller support: Vital supports MPE and microtonal tuning files.
System requirements: The site lists 64-bit operation and OpenGL 3 or higher; supported systems are Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+ and Ubuntu Linux 18.04+.
Text-to-wavetable limit: Text-to-wavetable is a web service limited to five requests per day unless a plan unlocks unlimited requests.
Privacy: Vital Audio says it does not sell user data and collects only information necessary to provide its services.
Payment security: Vital Audio says payment details go directly to Stripe or PayPal and are not accessed, handled or stored by Vital Audio.
Authentication: Vital Audio says it does not receive or store passwords; authentication requests go directly to Firebase.
