    Camel Audio Alchemy was the king for me but I don't use Logic so RIP Alchemy for me :( Arturia CMI and Synclavier also do resynthesis with Synclavier then allowing you to use a resynthesised sample as the carrier and/or modulator in an FM pair, you can also mess with the resynthesised results...

    Falcon 3, soon?

    nice to see this, one of my favourite synths (the word synth hugely underselling what Falcon is capable of) and sound design tools. Still hoping for audio in or an fx version but this looks to add quite a lot of compelling features and improvements.

    Headphones with neutral low end

    ah I see, yeah that's quite a bit of roll-off on the 600s For the price especially I do rate my 880s for their low end response, which is backed up by the Crinacle analysis.

    what I personally like about synths like Phase Plant (Absynth is another good example) is that it doesn't really have an opinion, it doesn't sound like anything other than what you make it sound like.

    Phaseplant!!!!!!

    Tails actually has multiple reverb buffers, when it detects something it sees as new activity it ducks and switches over to a rapidly building second buffer which simply doesn't contain the audio from prior to the switch. Pretty clever stuff.

    Hit the poly button at the top of the fx lane and the fx in the chain apply to individual notes, it's pretty cool but as I said earlier it's pretty heavy on the CPU. Phase Plant, Multipass and SnapHeap have a bunch of features that you will rarely find anywhere else.

    Pier was talking about the possibility in PhasePlant to have polyphonic effects, i.e. a distinct reverb instance (for example) on each and every note played rather than one reverb over all the notes, not something that I can think of as an option in many (any? perhaps Bitwig) DAWs. In my...

I just want to revisit it in light of the recent update, see if anything there can be added, also I finally had time to go through the LUA documentation and work out how to do custom UIs. Certainly I don't intend to...

    NI MASSIVE X : Your thoughts about it ?

    thank you!:emoji_pray: The sample-based noise source in Thorn helped me a lot, both directly using it in the mix and also using it as a mod source for oscillator 3 (and then modulating osc 2 with that etc. etc.). Thorn I think is capable of a vastly broader palette than most give it credit for...

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    I'll still pretty regularly take an hour or two on a single preset, especially if there is sample creation involved since I'll often send the audio out of the computer multiple times, timestretch with the reel to reel, process in the ASR10 or Octatrack, a bit of software processing then back out...

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    thank you Temme! I really should be paying you a marketing exec salary by now for the time you put into telling people about me :D I'll watch/listen to that podcast today. :emoji_call_me::emoji_pray:

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    Of course! You're mentioned in my About page even! :) Thank you for the lovely words, much appreciated. I get you with SonicCouture, Dan who is half of the company is a good friend of mine and I really respect what they do. I'm much more in the re-imagining area, literal renditions of existing...

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    I feel the same, often actually things are happening randomly or at least unpredictably and I'm personally really happy with that :) Totally with you on "when I just want to sit there and see where it goes"! If I've been sitting with my finger on a key for 20 minutes immersed and forgetting it's...

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    thank you! Yeah huge, gritty, subtly dusty, slowly evolving, organic. All buzzwords for me and generally where I'm aiming with my sound design. I'm trying hard to use performance controls, modulation and macros to give control over the evolution, little details etc. so the composer can play or...

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    thanks so much for the mention Justin, I remember when you bought some of my stuff the first time and I was boring anyone who would listen, talking about the shows you work(ed) on :) It always means a lot when people buy my noises but you, Mr Clouser and a few others' names showing up in my...

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    yeah it frustrates me when companies take such a directed approach with their marketing, Phase Plant is a very flexible synth and the wavetable editor is one of the best I've used, sample playback opens things up nicely for taking it really in any direction genre-wise. Suspension was done to a...

    What Synth you need/want Presets for in 2021?

    what area do you think is lacking out of interest? I made a pack for Kilohearts themselves which is in their store and I released a small pack myself but it's hard to pick what people might be looking for with Phase Plant. I'm left with a feeling that it's a synth people pick up to make their...
