Synplant: Quick addendum…

Synplant, Sonic Charge’s new generative softsynth, is friggin’ brilliant and well worth checking out. Depending on how you work, you will either find it inspirational or a tad frustrating.

  • If you compose based on ideas inspired by sounds you come across (a synth patch inspires the beginnings of a track), then you will really dig what this plugin can do.
  • If on the other hand, you compose by transcribing a tune already in your head (and you need to find the exact warbly bass patch you imagine in the song), then you might be a bit frustrated as it is not straightforwad to program such a specific sound.

The GUI and engine really reward  exploration, evolution, and refinement of a sound and provides an ability to tweak parameters (once you’ve “grown” a sound you like) to your exact liking if you so choose. It is a blast and very inspiring. Check it out. And btw: don’t even think about jumping into it without spending 10 minutes on the built-in overview/tutorial. You’ll save yourself a bunch of time.

cheers.
