😍 😍 😍 i can only recommend: try it out, it comes with a tutorial and it is a really fresh way to design crazy electronic sounds. from www.soniccharge.com:

Did you ever wonder if the convention of imitating hardware in software is the final word on friendly user interfaces? Is it indisputably the most efficient, creative and inspiring way of interacting with a software synth? We asked ourselves these questions… and we created Synplant.

Synplant is a software synthesizer with a genetic approach to sound creation. 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. The purpose of this product is to move focus away from the sometimes intricate and difficult process of sound synthesis and instead let you develop sounds by simply using your ears.

You will find that creating synth patches with Synplant will be as easy as listening and deciding what you like and then having the sounds evolve in the directions you desire. Although Synplant is exceedingly easy to use, whatever you do, do not let its relative simplicity fool you. Beneath its straightforward and playful interface you will find a versatile synthesizer of the utmost quality with lots of character. Also, once you are ready to get your hands dirty and dig deeper into the anatomy of Synplant you will have the option to crack open your sound seeds and modify their underlying genetic code.

Cool: a weed-plug-in. Most studios will order one 🙂

before i post the big synplant report i wrote over the last days (incl. some demonstration videos that i´ll upload to youtube or something)i can only say it´s really worth to test this. instead of searching parameters with your eyes turning knobs all the time you will really learn to use your ears more than your eyes or hands to get amazing results. after playing with the demo over three long nights i just bought it, bundled with the absolutely amazing microtonic (i was going to buy the microtonic since i knew it , for me it is the best vsti drum machine ) . it needs some time till you have your plants under control like a "standard" synth but for freaks like me searching for this kind of deep crazy sounds and noises this instrument is like heaven on earth. thanks magnus and soniccharge 😍 😍 😍

...coming soon: my big synplant report 😉

It took me just 3 minutes to decide to buy Synplant. Such a marvelous synth, I love it a lot!

It's getting even more intresting when it comes to Synplant. SonicCharge gave me permision to share my hack, so here it is!

It is a mod that I call Thorns. It comes in 3 flavours. My original, my altered version that Magnus helped me correct, and a corrected version with broader pitch range.

SonicCharge doesn't encourage hacking Synplant in v1.0 since there is no error range check between the scripts and the engine. The engine expects the scripts to follow the rules. Se below for more details on the scripts.

Apart from this my mods are ready for y'all to enjoy.

Just extract the folders and copy the files from one of them to your synplant root folder. What it does? It makes even more random sounds possible with Synplant. Hacking got on the table when the easter egg Jingle Balls got discovered on christmas eve. I did a little complain that the easter egg got deleted when a new seed was planted, and so SonicCharge released the autoexec.pika file that opened up the entire hack posibility. This hack is possible because the Synplant is scripted! Yes in the resources it has the scripts embedded that interfaces with the Synplant engine. My hack just alters some of the script parameters.

Synplant loads the default data, but if there is alternative .pika and .cushy files then these will be loaded instead. The files are loaded upon startup and upon each time you open the Synplant window.

Have fun!
