Vital Presets

Vital presets for metal, DnB, darksynth and cinematic production

This collection contains 17 focused Vital toolkits and six bundles, up to the Complete Toolkit Collection with 17,000 Vital presets. Every standalone toolkit contains 1,000 presets. Instead of a small mixed pack, you can choose a complete library for modern metal, metalcore, drum and bass, darksynth, synthwave, cinematic scoring, industrial sound design, hybrid metal or metalstep.

The sounds are organized around real arrangement jobs: basses and subs, leads, pads, plucks, keys, rhythmic sequences, atmospheres, impacts and transition FX. Product pages show the exact category balance and include demonstrations where available, so you can judge the sound before choosing a pack.

A single toolkit or a bundle?

Series I and Series II are separate preset libraries. A Series I toolkit contains 1,000 presets for its named genre. A Series II toolkit also contains 1,000 presets and adds the custom wavetable set stated in the product title. A standalone toolkit is the focused choice when you need only one sound world; bundles combine complete toolkits at a lower price:

• Toolkit Duo (2,000 presets): both volumes of one genre – Modern Metal, Industrial Dark Machines or Argent Hybrid Metal.
• By style: the Metal Arsenal Toolkit Bundle gathers all nine heavy toolkits (9,000 presets), the Electronic Arsenal Toolkit Bundle the eight darksynth, synthwave, drum and bass and cinematic toolkits (8,000 presets).
• Everything: the Complete Toolkit Collection contains all 17 Vital toolkits (17,000 presets and 550 wavetables).

What makes these Vital banks practical?

Vital can cover clean, animated and heavily processed sounds, so each toolkit is built around a useful mix of playable patches and sound-design material. Category counts vary deliberately by genre: a drum and bass pack needs more bass variations, while a cinematic pack gives more room to pads, keys and FX. The Series II pages list their exact preset and wavetable counts. You can also combine these banks with professional wavetables when you want more raw oscillator material.

Vital preset FAQ

Does every standalone pack contain 1,000 Vital presets?
Yes. Each standalone toolkit in this collection contains 1,000 presets. Bundles combine complete toolkits: a Toolkit Duo has 2,000 presets, the Electronic Arsenal 8,000, the Metal Arsenal 9,000 and the Complete Toolkit Collection 17,000.

What is the difference between Series I and Series II?
They are separate banks for the same broad genre, not a small and large edition of one product. Series II also includes the custom wavetable count stated in its title.

Can I use these presets outside EDM?
Yes. The collection includes libraries made for metal, cinematic scoring, industrial production, synthwave and hybrid guitar-based arrangements as well as bass music.

Can I release commercial music made with the presets?
Yes. Commercial music use is allowed under the Develop Device terms; redistribution of the source preset files is not.

Is there a matching Serum 2 collection?
Yes. If you use both synths, compare the separate Serum 2 presets collection. The instrument formats differ, so choose the product made for the synth you intend to use.
