You can check the Synplant product page for some audio demos, or try the demo version of Synplant. Synplant is available for Windows and Mac and costs $89 USD, which I think is a great price. Its wonderfully unique and inspiring sounds become the center of a new piece of music in no time. Oh, and it’s tons of fun to play with.Īlthough perfectly capable of doing a wide variety of bread & butter type sounds, Synplant is probably most useful for those other kind of sounds.
I love its simple interface, the sound manipulation is focused on listening to where you’re taking something rather than programming it, yet Synplant still retains a good level of tweakability in its controls & genes. It’s not like I haven’t used any synths with great randomize features before, but Synplant is a breath of fresh air. Synplant comes with a wide variety of patches, showcasing its capable of much more than the experimental sounds you might expect from a synth that grows sounds from seeds.

The Synplant demo version has a very generous 3 week trial period in which the plug-in is fully functional so there’s plenty of time to explore all of its features.

There is more to Synplant (the mod wheel ring & wheel scaling, MIDI options, undo/redo, patch manipulation etc.) but I’ll leave those things for you to figure out yourself. Note that the branches of a seed could still sound totally different as the seed you’re editing, because they mutate and differentiate from the seed and you can’t control those changes. Though I don’t think you’ll want to create patches from scratch in the Gene Manipulation dialog much, it’s good to know that you can fine-tune the seed.
#9. SONIC CHARGE SYNPLANT MANUAL#
The Synplant manual comes with a complete list of descriptions of each gene so you know exactly what you’re doing when adjusting these parameters. Many genes have a fairly complex relationship with each other and their scales and response ranges have been extensively tuned so that useful sounds can be created out of random “mutations”. Please be aware that although you may find some of them similar to the controls commonly found in other synthesizers, Synplant genes should not be confused with traditional synthesizer parameters. a_mod, lfo_rate and flt_freq), but these aren’t always what they seem to be… You’ll find some control look like regular like synth parameters (i.e. Here’s where you can get your hands dirty and do some genetic manipulation on any of Synplant’s 37 genes. The little DNA-type button in the top of the interface opens the Gene Manipulation window. There are four sliders around the seed’s bulb allow you to influence the sound. You listen to the changes in sound when growing branches. Plant branches you like as new seeds, or clone them so that all keys will play exactly the same sound.Grow any of the 12 branches to alter the sound, from subtle tweaks to extreme changes as you pull the branches further out.Open a preset or create a Random Seed to generate a new sound.Without going into the details of what kind of synthesizing goes on under the hood right now, Synplant is extremely easy to use: Using seeds to plant, and branches to grow sounds isn’t something I’ve ever seen before. Synplant invites you to take a different approach to sound creation. Although Synplant uses a generative synthesis engine, it isn’t actually a generative music system (you might’ve thought so when seeing the circle of notes on the interface…) Instead of creating patches the conventional way by turning dials and knobs, Synplant lets you explore a world of organic sounds by planting seeds that grow into synth patches.Īha, the lack of controls on that Synplant GUI is intentional! Btw, note how it says it has a genetic approach to sound creation, not generative.

Synplant is a software synthesizer with a genetic approach to sound creation.
