Synplant 2 is Overrated..

[@made.online2149]

I love putting complex sounds into the genopatcher. Not for the sake of recreating them, but because there is almost always a branch or 10 of something really novel and amazing that results.

[@gutterg0d]

Synplant is ridiculously overpriced for what it is, but it's not overrated at all. The genopatch thing is fantastic, but it's not going to be long before it's surpassed by other software. The strength will never be copying sounds, thats pointless. The strength is in making variations.

[@Outmode88_music]

@@Outmode88_music No. Overvalued and overrated are two different things. Overrated is about what the thing does, not what it costs.

[@illDefine1]

Have you ever put a single piano note into sampler? The further you move away from the original note, it sounds inauthentic and corny. It's the equivalent to physically changing the size of the piano as opposed to hitting different sized strings. Genopatch is not pointless and it's not copying a sound like a sampler ... as explained in the video.

[@gutterg0d]

@@illDefine1 I've tried putting a piano sample through genopatch, and spoiler alert, it sounded nothing like the piano.

[@illDefine1]

@@gutterg0d That doesn't change the fact that " The strength will never be copying sounds" is an erroneous statement, just because this app is not good at it. As this video explained. a synthesized piano sample that actually sounds real has plenty of benefits, even if we're not there yet. Generating variations of a sound from an original sound is relatively easy and common.

[@djvoid1]

It's kind of the T-1000 of synths. It can't create complex machines but it can form solid metal shapes

[@cassetteo]

I bought this and its now my go to. Planning on making songs like I used to 15yrs ago only with this. I understand the parameters and know what to change to have the patch sound the way I want. Hi hats and kicks are excellent, recreating chords obviously dont work because there are only 2 oscillators, but planting new seeds, going down a rabbit hole of sound is something much desired on my end

[@m.richards6947]

every time i click on a branch it goes crazy spinning around and shit. the old version didn't do this. got any idea what i'm doing wrong? lol

[@cassetteo]

@@m.richards6947 are you using the cracked version floating around? Idk, I hear people complaining about CPU usage and stuff. My M1 is perfectly fine running this so it must be a PC issue.. If you click and drag the branch out it morphs the original sound in random ways and then you can right click and plant that seed to map that new sound to the keyboard

[@Alckemy]

to me it’s a boutique item. works well on vocals but no it does not recreate the neuro basses and stuff I make or even drums.

Dude, good show on explaining what overrated means because people will instantly think you're saying it's shit. It's shame that you have to put a disclaimer first, but this is the world we live in where people instantly take things to heart. Also, a very good video. You had me cracking up with yelling random words! Liked, and subscribed!

[@NickBaysingar]

I haven't had the opportunity to play around with it yet, so perhaps the functionality already exists and I'm just not aware. But I think it would be cool if there was a slider in the Genopatch UI that lets you adjust how closely it tries to mimic the provided sample, as well as the ability to "lock" any of the resulting patches that you happen to like. That way you could do an initial pass with the slider maxed out to get some patches that closely resemble the sample, then you save those and do another pass after adjusting the slider so Genopatch generates new patches that are more out there, but without replacing the initial patches you liked.

[@Bllue02]

So the best you can do from what I’ve messed with is any genopatch patch you choose it’ll automatically be named and you can just quickly save it as a preset for later use. Not sure if it’s explained in the video I’m only like a minute in

[@whistletom]

What slider? The process is automatic. Each lane in the genopatch is automatic and uses a slightly different approach to replicating the sample. You can click on the little "i" button in the sample window and it shows you how close the patch is to the sample. The further the "error" readout is from 0 the closer it is to the original sample. Every time you click on a node it becomes the active patch. So you can just save that. But you can further refine it by clicking a patch and making it active and then alt clicking on one of the genopatch lanes to use that as the starting point for generating a patch. It still uses the loaded sample as the goal. One thing to note is that once any patch is generated the sample is not needed anymore.

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

I haven't seen many saying Synplant 2 is the greatest, but it is one of the first to use intelligent AI to do things that will probably be considered stepping stones to more advance things AI will do in the future when it can do them from scratch instead of being fed a sample to analyze... The greatest plug-in ever created hasn't ever been created and in my opinion will NEVER be created because there will always be something better. Synplant has always been unlike any other plug-in and is in that enviable position today. NOBODY else has a an instrument with the capabilities of Synplant 1 or 2 where every note in a scale can be a completely different synthesized sound - the programming hurdles they've crossed to provide the cool interface that works like it does is pure genius. I can't wait to see what THEIR accomplishments lead to for future plug-ins.

[@DataBroth]

"NOBODY else has a an instrument with the capabilities of Synplant 1 or 2 where every note in a scale can be a completely different synthesized sound" this can be achieved in many synth, not always easily, but it can be achieved in Vital for example, and off the top of my head I can't recall which other synths are capable of this, as it's not the easiest feature. It is easier to achieve in synplant, but I can also imagine other methods of accomplishing this specific goal

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

@@DataBroth - You are correct my friend, even my own Unify Plug-In can be set to where different notes are each completely different plug-ins even. However NOBODY has this ability from a single interface object with only dragging on each of the plant branches to accomplish this in a single plug-in in seconds. I probably should have been more specific in my first reply...

[@shitmandood]

That’s just an illusion. The “something better” is always some gimmick and they never last. The tried and true basic synth techniques and controls will still be used and nobody listening will know which synth instrument the sound came from. So this “plant” is hardly a game changer.

[@cassetteo]

this is a pioneering synth. Others will copy this and fail, while this will keep getting better and better. Because of this, right now yes it might be the greatest in the way of being its own kind. Everything else either tries to be like serum or recreated hardware. Its like a once in a decade synth

[@DataBroth]

@@PlugInGuruVideo yeah, there's not really any simpler solutions out there, though I must say I'm not quite a fan of the branch system either. For me personally, using a bitwig device(or Unify), where I can simply load an entire plugin to each note within an octave is faster and more intuitive. Albeit you lose the ability to save within a single preset

Damn bro you just sparked my creativity with that Drum&Bass cut! Nice! Gonna use Infiltrator a lot more for Key progressions!

[@dizzler-beats]

The Genopatch AI thing is genius, and very well executed imo. But it can only do what the synth engine is capable of, and tbh, as of 2023, its very basic and unfortunately struggles with anything more advanced because it lacks any advanced features itself. But then again, running this AI on any advanced synth like Serum, it would probably take 1000x longer ( or even more), because there are that many more combinations of knobs you can turn (not even talking about custom modulation shapes). In short : It would burn our CPU even more

[@cassetteo]

There's only two oscillators so it cant recreate chords or complex pads and sounds with a bunch of processing. I read somewhere it would take days for the dev to recreate sounds when he first came up with it a decade ago. I'm hoping this becomes more refined and a third oscillator can be added without it taking longer.... I think there is a lot going on behind the engine that isn't known or noticeable, which makes it seem its "very basic"

[@dakara4877]

I'm quite suspicious what AI is being used if any. The fact that it is running on the CPU instead of GPU sounds like it is simply brute forcing some method of finding a match. I expect when the companies with large resources get into this they will be able to invest into substantial AI model training that will be significantly more effective.

[@pennywise5095]

I agree and i do hope that they will improve and update the engine so hopefully they programmed it with that in mind.

[@frogofdeparture]

@@dakara4877 It's very likely not the kind of AI you're thinking of.

[@made.online2149]

You can make 'normal sounds' by plonking a sample of a normal sound into the genopatcher and choosing the most normal branches. But why would you want to make normal sounds?

[@Music-tg5is]

​@@made.online2149 ... because you might want a close 'sound-alike' of a 'normal sound' to then further tweak, while still sounding 'normal'. Which is how I tend to use Synplant 2 for most of my music thus far. It's great that you can push it also in random experimental directions. But, whether or not the user choses to, is entirely up to each individual. The idea that you 'have' to get weird with Synplant 2 is an unfair reputation, that is unfortunately putting a lot of potential customers off, from even giving it a chance to prove that misguided reputation wrong.

Yooo, Synplant is outstanding in the sense that it does something no other synth does (Genopatch) and plus it's ill for coming up with original complex voices in seconds. Means I can work backwards and undo little automations I don't want instead of spending a year heaping parameters on top of each other. It's schooling me on some of the finer points of sound design that I hadn't considered yet. In short, it's a work of art with rigorous science under the hood.

Harmor can resynthesize any sound and do so perfectly or nearly perfectly, but that's using additive synthesis. Doing it with "more traditional" synthesis like Synplant 2 is doing here is less impressive in terms of the accuracy of the results, but it's a totally different ball game in terms of how you can go on to manipulate those results. Which is better depends what you're trying to achieve, but for me this is exciting for the purposes of just exploring new sounds, which I feel is the fundamental premise Synplant was conceived from.

[@x_x_6__]

While there is some sense talked in the video, the clickbait slogan “only makes simple sounds” is simply untrue. It is a lie. The genopatch machine learning might (sometimes, not always) not perform so well on some types of complex sounds. But that doesn’t in any way mean that it only _makes_ simple sounds, quite the contrary : it can make extremely complex sounds very very easily. Lying about that ( I say “lying” because when you deliberately say something that you know to be untrue that is the appropriate term) for some clickbait slogan is cheap and, frankly, pretty stupid if you are hoping that people will in any way value your opinion.

[@Weaverbeats]

Keep in mind that when writing text on a thumbnail you can't write more than four or five words without it being completely ineffective as a readable thumbnail. In my opinion it is not able to recreate quite a few complex sounds, therefore I wrote "only makes simple sounds." I don't view that as a "lie" as much as me simplifying a conclusion to as little words as possible. If there is something more accurate that gets peoples attention and can be said in four words or less, I will gladly replace it. I am open to suggestions. Maybe "Struggles with complex sounds" is better?

[@grainmachine]

@@Weaverbeats Fair enough. My gripe was that while it might well struggle with ACCURATELY RECREATING some complex sounds ( though, in my experience, not all, in fact far from it ) it most certainly is able to MAKE complex, in fact VERY complex, sounds ... they just might not always particularly resemble the sample used as a ‘model’ !!! ... to say the opposite in the only text that someone skimming through videos will see ... strikes me as being very unfair, and also, sorry, very untrue. BUT, OK maybe you just weren’t looking at it that way, so I withdraw the “lie” remark, and what’s more it’s pretty rare for youtubers to change their post in response to a comment, instead of just digging in, so kudos for that matey, appreciated.

People still seem to think that this synth uses resynthesis. It's a a simple FM synth that analyses a sample and attempts to recreate it. Neurosynth baslines? Yeah it's obviously gonna fail at that. If you're looking for actual resynthesis with a closer fidelity to the original sound, then Icarus (1 and 2) and Harmor are still your best bet. I'm probably gonna get Synplant 2 , if it's as capable of creating tuned percussion with a West Coat/Buchla type feel. Which I think maybe one of it's strengths judging from the basic synthesis engine.

[@gutterg0d]

If the sample is a synth and you attempt to recreate it identically, it's as close to resynthesizing as we'll get. I get that for true resynthesizing you'd have to "decode" the sound into it's original parts somehow, but that's not going to happen on anything more complex anytime soon. Bruteforcing is most likely the way to go for now, and the thing with synplant 2 is that we get to use the things that happen on the way which is *way* more interesting and usable than the end result.

[@adamsmith7058]

@@gutterg0d When I refer to resynthesis I refer to it in it's classic form which is some sort of FFT analysis that breaks a sound down into sine waves then reassembles it using additive synthesis. Icarus and Harmor both use some variation on this idea, with probably more complexity than I described, but that's the basic idea. As it is, neither of these synths will perfom well with ultra complex waves with lots of modulation, especially stuff like unison, chorusing or reverb. Conventional sampling is probably the best way to go with that sort of material. But I have to ask, what's the point in sampling something like a wavetable synth? You've got all the control you need right there already, in terms of the traversing of the wavetables, and extra functions like wave modulation, FM etc, so sampling it seems kind of pointless. When it comes to Synplant 2 though, I can see where it might be useful for some happy accidents, where you start off with a particular idea but Synplant leads you down a path that may be more interesting than the one originally intended. My initial idea of using it as a way of creating pitched percussion by emulating already existing samples would probably work as a way of creating a sort of melodic drum source. An area I've always been interested in.

I wanted to shit on this video but I was laughing too much at the RANDOM words spoken OUT loud. I don't think Synplant 2 is overrated because it's not really THAT talked about. Something like Sylenth, or Massive or Serum perhaps, because everyone's heard of it and/or uses it. Access Virus, Minimoog, TB303. Overrated, perhaps. This thing not so much; it's always been more of a niche instrument for more experimental types. Having said that, it can also make some sounds you cannot get any other way, and it's a lot of fun to play with. FX and textures galore, and some very interesting and usable leads and pads that would be great for soundtrack work. The Genopatch thing is a wicked feature, and hopefully something that will be refined over time; as it stands, its a blast to chuck all my samples into it and see what it does. I had the original so I got my upgrade for very little. It's not overrated, ya dingus. That's just your usual KZbin pre-release hype where everyone with a channel talks about the same plugin. But is it inspirational? Oh yes. Whenever I am tempted to throw a standard synth patch on something, I go to Synplant and end up with something vastly more unique, and my own.

You may not agree at all but I believe you may create a better average viewing experience and ultimately increase your view counts if you moved a bit further from the camera and spent some more time thinking about lighting and choice of backdrops. I understand that you have probably made a conscious choice and decided that this is the style you want to go for, and many people probably do not mind at all or even prefer this style. But I can't help but feel that, while your content is great, this channel does not feel "professional". It feels a bit more like what you could expect from a youtube channel in 2011. I always thought "professional" when it comes to youtube is silly and should not matter. But even though I have been against the whole "professional" movement on youtube, I realize that I am more likely to return to and subscribe to channels with the professional feel. If I had watched a few of your videos and then had to guess how many subscribers you have, I would probably have guessed somewhere around 30 - 50k, whereas if you had the exact same content, with the exact same audio, but the shot of you was a bit further away with proper lighting and backdrop, I would have guessed probably 300-500k subs. I really don't like that such things should matter, but sadly I think they do. Anyway, keep up the great work!

I love his style the way it is. I appreciate his channel for not giving that overly polished and sterile vibe. I think he should leave it as it is.

@@FrancoW1 and i appreciate and understand that most of this guy’s subscribers share your view, otherwise they probably wouldn’t subscribe! i am just wondering about all the people who saw the content but decided not to sub. anyway i hear you, i am actually more on your side. and it of course depends on what the goal of this channel is.

I think Synplant 2 is equally overrated and underrated by different people. Those who think it's only good for weird alien special effects are massively misguided and hence are vastly underrating the plugin's capabilities. And by equal measure, it's overrated by those suggesting, it's the only synth you'll ever need, as if it could replace the top workhorse synths available. The truth is, it is extremely capable synth with an unorthodox and innovative workflow, which is great for some people, but perhaps not everybody's cup of tea. Which is perfectly fine. To each their own, as they say. 😊

05:07 Well at least synplant is better at recreating sounds then you are at pronouncing the word 'synthesis' And for your information , you're totally missing the point what synplant 2 is about It's not the primary goal of synplant to accurately recreate sounds , because it's architecture is way too simple ( it's just a basic 2 oscillator synth with some fm and continous parameters ), it's no ana dditive synth with thousands of partials etc.. The primary goal is to feed it sounds and expiremt with it , the underlying machine learning is just brilliant .

The sound of a goat eating meatballs?

[@luisinhobr]

whats your fursona

[@unduloid]

I think $50 new price would be about right for a plugin sounding this mediocre.
