Phase Plant Just Took Over The Sound Design World By Storm. (2.0 Review)

[@inanitas]

Holy shit. Phaseplant is like a synthesizer for synthesizers. Synthesizing synthesizers to synthesize sounds with

[@Alckemy]

Something like that. Now with granular ;)

[@periurban]

I think the key to Phase Plant is the basic sound quality. I haven't tried Vital, but I've given Serum some time, and I can't get rid of the harmonic noise. It seems to generate it regardless of what I do, but Phase Plant is smooth when I want that, and biting and resonant when I want that. I date back to the days of Absynth, when the sound design side was almost impenetrable. Phase Plant is such a joy to design with.

[@CasamTheAnimator]

@Ankit Vital has 3 oscillators and versatile user interface, in Vital you don't have to go to the matrix tab to send the random 1 or 2 to a specific parameter, you can easily left hold and drag it into a specific parameter you want to control, the random in Vital also has a visual section where you see that the different values that are set each block. I know that Vital lacks 1 thing which is hyper / dimension effect, but that's not a big of a deal, another cool thing is you can also set the timing of your LFO to keytrack, and what that does is it makes the LFO follow the same frequency as the individual note you are playing, which is what Serum lacks.

[@CasamTheAnimator]

@Ankit But Phase Plant's LFO is not like Serum and Vital's LFOs, in Phase Plant's LFO it only includes waveforms, but you can go to it's wavetable editor and draw it, it's similar LFO you have in Sylenth1, but in Serum and Vital, you have envelope LFOs which are versatile, the highest frequency you can go up to in Phase Plant's LFO as I've mentioned is I believe 50Hz, in Serum the maximum is 100Hz, but in Vital it's just seconds and milliseconds you can set, so it's not the amount of frequency, it's the duration that the LFO takes to finish it's cycle. Vital is also versatile since it has 2 main filters, you may not only need just 1 filter, but also 2 filters and that's what makes a synth interesting.

[@Bazzookie]

@Ankit eh, Phase plant on paper you'd think is serum on Steroids, but it's wayyyy less intuitive to actually use with a much more tedious work flow, plus you'd think that with how powerful Phase Plant is it'd be amazing, and it is, but Phase Plant ends up being a synth that I only ever seem to use for experimentation. In Serum I can make deep, wide, and crazy sounds in a fraction of the time it'd take in Phase plant, and it's way easier to make something that's actually useable or worth using in a song in Serum, plus at the end of the day, three oscillators (including the sub oscillator) is really all you really need. It's sort of like Moog's classic Modular system vs the Minimoog. The Modular synth can make pretty much any sound your heart desires, but the Minimoog can make every useable sound you'd necessarily need (ignoring it's lack of polyphony), and far more easily and quickly. There's a reason the Moog Modular synth was considered ground breaking, but the Minimoog is what actually changed the music industry.

[@andewprod]

Wow that is really gamechanging. I especially love the wtLFO and the fact that you actually trigger the sample and hold.. i always saw phaseplant as the "almost" perfect synth but now im fully convinced that im going to invest in that sometimes.. not that soon i guess (have bills to pay) but i will get it. All i would love now would be some more analog filters.. but idk. Since im a huge Eurorack nerd i would love to see a synth like phaseplant which concentrates on the analog emulation of a certain system like the moog modular or the Roland system100m but also add stuff like wavetable oscillators, samples, interesting modulators.. and especially polyphony. Thanks for the video!

Phaseplant of course has a learning curve, but it seems much easier than something like Reaktor or Falcon. Although not as deep or granular as those, Phaseplant sure has its place. I am very tempted by the sale price.

[@chrisfroman8018]

Its pretty darn cool and modern. How would compare this to UVI Falcon? I've had that for a few years and I don't really see anything here that can't be done rather easily in Falcon. TBH on the surface Falcon looks significantly more capable than phaseplant. There are more sound generators, far more effects, more sequencers, more modulators, unlimited layers, unlimited "lanes", unlimited audio routing. You can build custom UI's for your patches. There aren't just layers but you can group layers and make complex audio routing tricks. Finally there built in scripting language is you wanna get really gnarly. You can do all that and literally add another audio channel into its built in mixer and keep going all within one instance of the plugin. Having said that, phaseplant is likely to get most people where they want faster and easier.

[@pnutbuttajellee1394]

Phaseplant is generally easier to use... although routing takes some getting used to. Then of course, price. Pretty big difference there.

[@Alckemy]

In theory, falcon should be top dawg, However, it’s workflow is realllllly slow, it’s fm capabilities are very limited and the modulators have a really annoying (for me) behavior. Everything you said is %100 true but because of the tedium of flipping through tabs, groups, branches, etc I can’t stand using it outside of its granular engines and playing with the Euclidean stuff. I’ve had it since 2018 thinking it was going to be insane but again, the workflow holds it back significantly. I would compare falcon to kontakt if anything but maybe I’ll do a comparison video between the 2

[@Alckemy]

I’d recommend checking out my really old frequency splitting neuro bass v in falcon vid I did a while back to see what I mean

[@Alckemy]

@Trent Kozelek well said!

[@chrisfroman8018]

@Trent Kozelek That’s fair but Falcon is the ultimate sound design synth. If you are getting it, out you aren’t looking to make some quick patch to be musically inspired. To be honest I’d use neither of these for this purpose. Prefer Diva/Serum for that. Don’t get me wrong this looks awesome and will be picking it up. Edit: Oh crap it’s only 100 bucks now that changes everything.

[@delhibill]

Not if you use Linux. Not supported.

[@Alckemy]

Bitwig and kilohearts for me complement each other immensely Kilohearts sound design workflow is insanely fast because of how quickly you can add generators, modulation, and effects. The routing is super fast and the update actually draws a line where you map things. Phaseplant also has unique modulators like mseg and lfo tables. What I also like is that snap heap and multi pass can share patches outside of bitwig racks so you can use them in other programs. Bitwig has its own unique features too, they just go so well together

[@CybreSmee]

Wait....can't BitWig do all that stuff just as easily, with a lot more on top? You know, that DAW you're using to run Phase Plant?!

[@drayboog5236]

Yeah and less resource consumption

[@NeZversSounds]

Except, you can't give your Bitwig project to Reaper, FL or any other DAW user.

[@Alckemy]

There are some things each piece of software can’t do or does way better. They really complement each other well

[@CybreSmee]

@@Alckemy Well, not really. BitWig can do everything Phase Plant can do...plus about a million more things, its a DAW. Its like buying a wheel and saying its similar to a car. Whats one thing PP can do "way better"?

[@Alckemy]

@@CybreSmee I have video coverage extensively on both. I could sit here and type it out or you can explore for yourself and make a judgment call:)

[@Alckemy]

I love that song!

[@LaymensLament]

i tried alot of synths but pp is the one that stuck with me. first one i really liked. its just very fast. ill probably add zebra and then im good with synths. maybe some very select emulations or a fm synth but 90% of the time these will do it for me.

[@Alckemy]

My suggestion would be to explore more effects once you have your oscillator bases covered. Effects will always take you further!

[@LaymensLament]

@@Alckemy actually trying to get rid of fx too. i will prolly buy hy-filter 4 tho, its kinda like byome but i like it better. i also like it better than infiltrator although that ones a bit different.

[@Alckemy]

@@LaymensLament same ones make sense but diverse processing tools are where it’s at for sound design

[@profet1385]

What's up with the dramatic titling in world of music producers on YT. Taken by storm? Its already established in top few but it won't do what some other top few do...

[@Alckemy]

100% transparency playing the KZbin game. Although, I do think that phase plants update is another marvel for the sound design world. It's not the end all be all but for about 90% of my needs it goes above and beyond

[@Hvranq]

Just show me how to use MPE in a way that allows me to use modulation and pitch bend independently per note. Ah and show me the manual for this "bargain" software...

[@Alckemy]

all are possible :) thank you for the content ideas!

[@Alchemetica]

This video would be way better if the mouse wasn't jumping all over the screen, as one does not know whether to follow the mouse because it is making an adjustment. Secondly, if you highlighted the section you are talking about just with a simple coloured rectangle or circle, then for the newcomer we know where to focus. There are many screen recorders that have this feature built in to its interface. What you are currently doing is probably fine for those familiar with the software; but when watching it for the first time or trying to learn some parts of its operation it is most confusing. Assuming you want to sell pre-sets/sounds/software and/or increase the number of subscribers then teach new viewers rather than skipping over technical jargon and moving the mouse as if it was on speed.

[@Alckemy]

Valid points, though this isn’t necessarily aimed towards beginners but rather a quick summary of what’s new and how it sounds. I have beginner tutorials and complete breakdowns of snap ins on my channel so there’s something for everyone :)

[@Alchemetica]

@@Alckemy Thanks for pointing that out, as you may of guessed I was unaware of your other videos.

[@paradoxic1888]

I would argue that VPS Avenger is the only synth you need. It even has a built-in drum rack. You can build an entire song on a single instance of the plugin. + They don't make you pay extra for the effects plugins. Fight me bro

[@Alckemy]

The workflow can’t keep up I’m afraid. Limited fx and oscillator engines with a lack of modulators hold it back. It’s cool though!

[@paradoxic1888]

@@Alckemy Lol you telling me 8 oscillators aren't enough? 8 envelopes which you can fully customize and act the same as lfo's if you loop them. 34 effect types that you can assign to any Osc. Almost any parameter can be modulated, you can draw your own tables, load up wavetables, samples, treat samples like wavetables, multiloops it even has a granular synthesis. I don't want to write an SA but it really has everything bud. It looks intimidating but it's workflow is actually very intuitive.

[@Alckemy]

@@paradoxic1888 we can talk about pros and cons without getting into it, the workflow just isn’t as fast as pp. 34 effects are great! How many can you have at once? Are there modulators other than lfos and envelopes? 8 envelopes are nice but look on my channel and you’ll notice I use a ton of modulation and with good purpose:)

[@paradoxic1888]

@@Alckemy Of course Phase Plant has it's pros, but my argument is that for a synth that can do it all, VPS Avenger is seriously underrated. If by modulate you mean FM, AM, Sync then yes. You can FM 1 osc with another osc. I mean I just learned you can modulate the drum track with the LFO which modulates the filter or whatever you assign it to which just blew my mind. VPS Avenger has send tracks, master tracks and a mixer, so yes you can use all effects at once. Honestly I don't know what you did with your modulations, but I'm tired of these synths that get all the marketing behind blowing up, when an incredible synth like VPS Avenger has existed for many years. Be honest, you haven't even tried it. When I was deciding on the ultimate synth, I was looking into Phase Plant, but I did thorough research, and best bang for my buck was VPS Avenger and I don't regret. The only thing I do regret as that so few people know about this synth.

[@Alckemy]

@@paradoxic1888 modulation are things like multi stage envelopes and randomizers, lfos, etc. to which phase plant has unlimited amounts. It also has unlimited sends and master racks because you can stack as many multi pass and snap heaps as you want. I make all my drums in phase plant too. I don’t advertise anything on this channel I don’t use and am not sponsored by anyone, phase plant is the majority of what I cover on this channel just because of how much you can do with it. No marketing bs :) I think avenger is cool! It’s just not on the sheer level the kilohearts ecosystem has to offer

[@psysword]

It looks like AutoTune, which is as tedious looking as this

[@Alckemy]

I abhor auto tune. But alas, these looks are deceiving as this, my friend, is just as easy, if not easier than vital or serum

[@jensschettler1732]

On paper and workflow it is awesome but the sounds simply sucks. Sounds thin and harsh.

[@Alckemy]

Likely your listening environment

[@bengsynthmusic]

This is more for sound designers, not so much preset lovers. It can be made thick through adding oscillators. Or really it can be made anything with enough synthesis.

[@jensschettler1732]

Hmmm, o think it sounds basicly not very pleasent at all. I like a warmer sound like the u-he products or spire. Phase plant sounds harsh and thin but loud in the same time. A little bit like serum but not the same clarity. Phase plant sounds not very sweet by the lack of other words.

[@Alckemy]

@@jensschettler1732 blame the sound designer and not the synth^^

[@jensschettler1732]

I dondt blame anybody. Its just my opinion. Problem? Every synth has its base tone. And thats good. It is just not everybodys cup of tea. Thats cause the tread starter claim phaseplant is the best synth around... i doubt there is a "best" synth...

[@andrew4982]

Those bases at the beginning, I agree you cannot do that with other synth, but why would you need to make flatulence sounds with a synth?! I understand crazy but why that crazy?

[@Alckemy]

Well, In the music genre I make as my name describes (neuro) we use these basses for dnb, halftime, dubstep, etc.

[@EnervatedSociety]

lmao I don't like those fart sounds, nor the music that one would typically find them in, but I know I'm into some stuff others don't like. To each their own. I'm still here learning a thing or two. That said I'm not excited about this soft synth at all. Good channel overall btw.

[@lolilollolilol7773]

This vid sounds like a paid ad. I will never buy PhasePlant not because of its features but because of its distasteful business model where you have to buy functionalities. It's like if you bought a car but you had the engine and tires only, and had to buy the seats and the trunk as an extra. And they are pretty expensive as well.

[@Alckemy]

You couldn’t be more off the mark. Would advise you to research and demo the product. I have a bazillion tutorials on it and it’s non contested as far as my claims go. But hey, vital is free

[@lolilollolilol7773]

@@Alckemy I prefer to focus on mastering my own tools rather than buying new ones. I own Synthmaster, Dune 3, Vital (free) and these 3 alone are enough to fulfill my musical needs for the rest of my life. Dune especially sounds better than any other software synth I've heard. With a combination of compressor and reverb, I can make them sound extremely fat and deep. I also own Rift, that I can add to any of these synths for more crazy sounds. I bought it after watching a video by DATABROTH that combines it with Dune 3. I'm really satisfied with all these tools and I feel I need to make music rather than buy more gear.

[@Alckemy]

@@lolilollolilol7773 that’s fine. Data broth would tell you the same thing about phase plant though. Would appreciate if you didn’t call me a shill just because you watched a video on something you didn’t need. I own my opinion and my integrity made this channel what it is today

Another overpriced synth that sings and dances. Already pre-destined as a free download along with a voucher for a cheap hamburger.
