If you use Vital for modern beat production, Flare by AZPEX is a fresh free preset bank worth adding to your library.

Created by producer and sound designer AZPEX, Flare contains 14 original Vital presets designed primarily for R&B, lo-fi, chill-out and trap production.

The collection focuses on melodic sounds that can quickly provide the foundation for chords, melodies and atmospheric layers without requiring extensive sound design from scratch.

A Free Vital Bank for Modern Beatmakers

Flare has been designed around the softer and more atmospheric side of modern production.

Rather than focusing on aggressive festival leads or huge EDM basses, the bank is better suited to producers looking for expressive keys, smooth plucks, pads and melodic textures.

That makes it particularly useful for R&B chord progressions, chilled lo-fi arrangements, melodic trap beats and more spacious hip-hop productions.

14 Sounds Instead of Preset Overload

Flare is intentionally compact. You get 14 presets rather than hundreds of patches that you may never actually use.

This makes browsing faster and keeps the collection focused on a coherent sonic direction.

The sounds can also be customized directly inside Vital. Envelopes, filters, modulation, effects and wavetable parameters remain available, so each preset can become a starting point for your own sound design.

Perfect for R&B and Lo-Fi Production

The softer tone of the bank makes it particularly suitable for emotional chord progressions and melodic production.

Keys and plucks can form the main harmonic element of an R&B or trap beat, while pads can provide background atmosphere without dominating the arrangement.

Adding your own processing, such as chorus, tape saturation, reverb or delay, can push the presets even further toward lo-fi, ambient or alternative R&B territory.

How to Install the Presets

After downloading Flare, open Vital and import the supplied preset files or bank through Vital’s preset browser.

Once installed, the sounds can be edited just like any other Vital preset. You can adjust envelopes, change effects, modify modulation or replace the original wavetable to create your own variations.
