Synplant 2 (Patreon)
Content
In today's video, I dive into the newly released Synplant 2, which features an innovative machine learning algorithm in its GenoPatch feature. Here's what makes it groundbreaking:
GenoPatch Feature: This allows you to drop any sample into the plugin, and the algorithm will generate a 2-oscillator FM patch based on that sample.
CPU Performance: While the CPU usage spikes to 84% during the generation process, it drops back down afterward, ensuring it's not too resource-heavy.
Interface and Usability: The plugin offers a unique "seed-growing" interface that lets you easily manipulate sounds. It generates random FM patches that you can then "grow" and modify.
Technical Aspects: Under the hood, it's essentially a 2-oscillator FM synth with envelopes, filters, and effects.
Versatility: Unlike traditional re-synth synthesizers that use sine partials, this uses machine learning to tweak parameters, recreating sounds more effectively.
Application in Music Production: I discuss how this technology could change the way we work with synths by making the process faster and more intuitive.
Cost: The plugin is priced at $150, which may seem steep, but given its features, it could be a worthwhile investment.
Future Potential: I believe this could be the most significant advancement in synthesizers in decades and that it sets a new standard for what machine learning can accomplish in music production.
