Hey @HiEnergyMusic, good to see you here, and thanks for watching! There are so many things I didn't get to, such as thoughts on the browser (which is hidden but good once you get there), the use of the Comb filter module in physical modeling (and its very interesting "PHYSIS" mode), the ability to save "sub-presets" and the related randomization/breeding of patches, and a lot more.

Thanks for making this video. I too bought MYTH right out of the gate. Dawesome holds a beloved place in my library, so I support them. But with this one, I found myself looking in the mirror seeing Rodney Dangerfield after an hour with it. Anyhoo, this video really helped me appreciate some other elements about it. I appreciate your wavetables Keith, and your passion for the art here. Thanks again.

@@kcrosley You are more than welcome and I have been enjoying your wavetables served up in my KORG Modwave. I read below that MYTH is your first Dawesome purchase. Be sure to download the Novum trial and give that a peek if you have not.

[@SoundAuthor]

"I have very conflicted feelings about this synthesizer." As do I, haha! Yes, full disclosure, there are aspects of Myth that do _not_ work for me. That said, I plan to make another video for Myth exploring some things that I feel might have been overlooked. I think the main problem here is that Myth is presented in such a way that implies that resynthesis is the main focal point of the instrument, so people are obviously going to expect the resynthesis result to sound like other resynthesis engines. I think it might have been a mistake to place such emphasis on the resynthesis with those big beautiful iris visualizations that beg you to drop a sample into them. The *TRANSFORMERS* should've been the main focus, and once you understand what the "Pure" transformer is actually doing (no, it does not reduce everything to a sine wave like people are saying) you begin to realize that the transformers play a significant role in what I think makes Myth really special.

[@kcrosley]

My happiest experience with Myth so far is, in fact, when you have something that's not "clicky" loaded into the Iris and then sculpt the basic oscillator using the transformers. (That's what's going on in the intro patch, "Iris Sweep 2" where the square and sync transformers are giving rise to the filter sweep sound.) But of course, the transformers must have something to work with (the iris contents) and it's just entirely unclear what spectra is going to arise from the analysis/resynthesis. For example, the source sample for that iris is a sawtoothy single-cycle waveform and yet, what we get from the resynthesizer is a bell-like tone. That wild disconnection between the source material and what might come out of the resynthesis engine makes it not *fun* to explore Iris creation, unfortunately. It doesn't give that dopamine hit of happy accidents, it feels like work. As for the "purify" transformer, I've found it most useful for *removing* the click/pop content in a resynthesized sample, but this also removes higher harmonics that we can't really get back (except, e.g., by using FM). I didn't talk about that explicitly in this video, but it's a useful thing to know! Glad to hear others understand where I'm coming from! Cheers!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Novum (Dawesome’s granular ambient pad synth) is fantastic and crazy. Can fully recommend it. Had some work recently doing really strange ambiences for a client, and Novum was an excellent tool for that. It’d be great for dark ambient music especially.

[@kcrosley]

Thanks for watching! I’ll have to check that out. Several Dawesome fans have pointed me to the other Dawesome plugins, but seem to share my frustrations with Myth (though do see my more positive take on some of the specific physical modeling capabilities of Myth!).

[@BluesCatOriginal]

Excellent review. I have been using the MYTH demo for a few days and trying to reconcile my experience with all the positive comments I read on the forums. You hit the nail on the head. I was able to start having some fun with it after learning to tie my MPE controller to the filters and FX (very few included presets use MPE, but have have not tried all 700+ of them). Peter (Dawesome) does a great job of supporting MPE, and making it useful. The IRIS re-synth is the weak point.

[@kcrosley]

Thanks for watching! Yep, MPE and poly aftertouch controllers could be very interesting with Myth. Definitely give some physical modeling patches a go. You can program all sorts of interesting modulations to subtly (or radically!) change the exciter and resonator sections that would be nice for MPE performance. I’ll probably do a followup video on that topic as well as some patches in future. The Iris does make for a good exciter and there are a lot of very interesting effects that can be achieved with the trainable resonator modules and the waveforms from KRC Mathwaves.

@ 37:31 - "I want to run my unmolested samples through this sh*t". 😂That would be Dawesome LOVE. Your analysis is simply BRILLIANT! I hope somehow Peter becomes aware of and watches your analysis. For a product developer, there's absolutely nothing better than knowledgeable constructive criticism. ... I'm still debating on whether to grab Myth. It's currently on sale at PB for $89 (half retail). I then may go ahead and buy it now to catch the sale, with the hope that a future free update will include improvements that you've pointed out. With affects like Dawesome LOVE, Polyverse Filterverse (with plans for even more cool filter modules), and KRC Mathwaves (which I think is a much better sound and $ value than Myth), I'm really not getting the value now of acquiring yet another synth simply because I might consider it cool and the "must have" that many say it is. Again, great analysis, Keith. I appreciate it greatly! ... UPDATE: For about the FIFTH time now since the release of Myth, I've decided - even on sale at HALF PRICE!, and even after watching your superb physical modeling with Myth video - I don't find it compelling enough for MY needs right now. I'd much rather put the $89 into sound libraries or other VSTs I do find quite compelling for my current needs.

Interestingly, the weaknesses I've noticed in some resynthesis engines seem to carry over in a greatly exaggerated way to automatic wavetable generation.

Do you have a favorite tool for drum resynthesis?

Hmm..depends on the price and how diverse it can be..The thing is, depending on the price would want to know if I can just get Reaktor/Native Instruments bundle and do the same things. If it's not expensive then it's worth experimenting with anyway..

[@kcrosley]

It’s $125 on intro pricing and I believe there are sometimes Dawesome discount codes which might even work with this now. I think that price is fair for a sophisticated synth plugin from a small developer. (Whether Myth is worth that is a personal choice of course.)

[@msld_sound]

Lots of great insights. To me, it’s telling that Sonic Charge Synplant2 (a very basic 2-oscillator synth with some neural net resynthesis witchcraft attached), can create more usable results from monophonic material than Myth can. Synplant2 struggles with consistently nailing chords, but then so does almost every resynthesis-equipped synth engine. Klevgrand Tomofon, Arturia Synclavier V, Image-Line Morphine, etc. are all best suited for mono samples, not chords. If Celemony designed a synth with Melodyne tech for detection and resynthesis, I think we'd see some improvements on this front. (Worth noting that Image-Line Harmor is a beast though; it plays surprisingly well with chord material.)

[@msld_sound]

30:50 “What I really want …” Indeed; I agree that Myth could benefit from a straight sample playback module. - In a rather simple way, that’s exactly what Xfer Serum does. You can load a one-shot sample into the noise oscillator; if you use the noise osc as a transform input on one of the wavetable oscs, you can perform FM / phase modulation and other mangling using the sample to modulate the wavetable, kind of the opposite approach to what Myth is doing, but I think the results are more pleasant. Also, Camel Audio Alchemy (now assimilated into Apple’s Logic Pro, unfortunately for non-macOS users) offers the experience of layering samples in “normal” playback with additive or granular iterations of the same samples, as well as simple FM operations.

[@kcrosley]

I’m a Windows user and miss Alchemy so much! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@BigMTBrain]

Fairly off-topic: I could be mistaken, but Dawesome Abyss has always felt like a sound engine with Dawesome LOVE effects integrated; therefore, after acquiring LOVE, I've held off on Abyss, as it seems redundant given I already have Novum, Kult, Hyperion, and soooo many more synths and sample libraries as sound sources to feed into LOVE. I'd enjoy hearing any contrary opinions on this.

[@MathHammer]

I am on the fence on this one. I own licenses for all of Dawesome's other plugins except Chop Suey. Maybe this is a "watch and see how it evolves for a while" plugin. After watching a few hours of demos and of course trying the synth out myself in various ways, I found myself looking for an overarching philosophy or point. What is the sound design "problem" or "goal" that Myth is intended to solve? What is the "story" of making a patch? I get there are many synths out there, especially modular synths, that provide a giant bucket of tools and it is up to me to put them together how I want.

[@kcrosley]

I kind of meant to say something like this in the video, so thanks for putting that into words here! It’s not just synths themselves that tell a story, but also patches themselves. To my point about there being LOADS of the factory patches that don’t bother to modulate amp volume via velocity: If one presents a patch where all notes sound at max volume, what story does that tell? “This sound is so AWESOME that it must always be played as loud as possible!!!”? 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching! If I were going to “retcon” a story onto Myth it would be that Myth is a “modal synth” that takes certain physical modeling ideas in new directions. (This is in fact what it does, but instead it got billed as a sort of sample-mangler first and foremost. I will talk about this in my next video about Myth, which will be more of a tutorial about physical modeling concepts and how to apply them in Myth.)

[@vwilin1856]

i feel like this plugin will age very well, the first thing i thought when i first saw it and used it is this is what serum would look like if it was made in 2090

[@kcrosley]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate your opinion, but for the most part I find this synth unsatisfying (though see my follow-up about its physical modeling features). Vis-a-vis Serum, it’s similar in that it has good FX. But the core synthesis functionality is nothing like a good wavetable synth. (Serum is a good wavetable synth, and Korg modwave Native is even better [and also a better value/less expensive].) I’d argue that Myth is interesting to people like me, but a poor choice if you don’t already have really solid, versatile, and high-quality synths. Myth is niche, but pretends not to be. That is all.

[@mdavid200ify]

A fair-minded review. Having watched Peter's explanation on the PB channel yesterday, he seemed quite clear that Novum is his sample machine and Myth is intentionally something very different. Since Peter does not tend to change the fundamental aspects of his synths post-release, I fear you may be waiting forever for a synth playing element to Myth. I have been testing this synth for a week now and I am still on the fence about whether to actually purchase it - I shy away from noise and distortion, so getting decent patches from Myth has been taking me quite a bit of work. Since you did buy Myth, can you see yourself actually reaching out to use it that often for anything other than drones and soundscapes?

[@kcrosley]

Hey @mdavid200ify, thanks for watching! As I explored a bit in this video, I am actually having a lot of fun with the "physical modeling" components and I could see samples from that being quite useful in something like Korg wavestate or just even on their own using Myth. The sounds I'm getting from that are pretty different from anything in the factory set, BTW and not droney/soundscapey. Not sure how much I might use the VA parts of Myth though they sound really nice. I'm more likely to reach for something like modwave.

[@scottk3292]

I've had some good results from Harmor's resynthesis engine. In Harmor, you see in the frequency graph the various frequencies which were detected in your sound, and it's very obvious that those freqs bend and drift throughout the duration of your sample. I could be very wrong, but I get the feeling that some resynthesis engines are expecting the same standard harmonic series from all samples, or maybe just expecting fixed frequencies, unable to adjust through the duration of the sample. As a result, when you sample an instrument which doesn't sound like a guitar string, it becomes a hot mess... or maybe where a cleanly plucked string may sound good, resynthesizing a note with a bend may sound horrible. I'd have to play with it, but I can't devote the time while between jobs. I'm just saying it will hugely depend on what assumptions the VST designers are making about how the instrument will be used.

[@kcrosley]

You'll be interested in my latest video about Sumu from Madrona Labs, which is a fascinating and great-sounding resynthesis plugin. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2Xdh3ynrqiEga8si=pseEJqO9k2ghXNlr

But that wouldn’t actually change my reaction to the sounds coming from the Iris. I actually understand what the source of the objectionable noise is now and I’ll be talking about that in my next video about Myth, which will look at physical modeling ideas in Myth, the MODAL/RESO modules, and (spoiler alert) how it seems that the Iris is really a variation on that modal filter (++) and how some design choices (which we don’t have any control over) result in the objectionable artifacts that some people (like me) are bothered by in Myth.

Thanks for watching, @intevolver! I, too, enjoy the weird and unexpected things AI can do and I agree that we really don't see that here. Indeed the Iris concept in Myth is "good" at generating harsh sounds that would then need further subtractive processing.

It's problematic to be sure, @AldoFurioso. Somewhat ironically, this is my first Dawesome plugin purchase (for the reasons I describe in the video).
