Thanks for checking out Phase Plant and making this video! Glad you like it! The thing with notes not playing when you have an editor window open... is that using a MIDI keyboard or qwerty keyboard? If it's the first then something's not right as it should work... if it's the second then that's a known bug that we'll be fixing in a later update. Feel free to hit us up via our support email or any of our social channels if you want to talk more about our plugins. ❤️

FYI... we fixed the keyboard focus bug! We've recently updated all our plugins to v1.8, fixing bugs and making improvements as well as adding some requested features. Including the ability to use Multipass and Snap Heap as snapins in our hosts, which opens up a lot of possibilities for multiband and parallel effects processing. So that everyone can have a chance to try out the new features, we've also reset all expired trials. So if you wanted to have another go, you can! :-)

I really love you started using phase plant!! It is a very underrated synth that in my opinion actually better than serum in many regards. You can also use serum wavetables and samples from the noise oscillator in it too so they compliment each other nicely.

finally someone made a synth within layering function, looking forward to take a look at this baby

Hopefully Steve doubts and the Xfer Records team watch this video and get to work with their updates: 3

Awesome! I told my producer friends about this about 2 weeks ago, I’m hoping I can get it soon. I can’t wait to sound design in this synth :D

Great video subscribed!

The ending cracked me hard😂 You are the best😆

"I would not mind if that touches me at all" That give me good chuckle in the end! 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the serum mono supersaw tip! 👋

man that seems like an absolute monster of a synth!

cool vid bro, I enjoy

This looks incredible, I was just about to get Pigments but I'm looking into this bad boy instead, it all just makes sense to me!

I just have to say, Melda Production is the most underrated company when it comes to exactly this. They have been making plugins for like a decade and they have a MASSIVE collection of best-in-the-world (as in, sophistication and sheer engineering) audio FX plugins. When you buy their flagship synth MSoundFactory, they give you ALL of their audio FX plugins INTERNALLY to the synth. The synth is a monster. The only reason hardly anyone uses it, is because you have to spend like a week learning how to get the most out of the thing. It helps if you are familiar with the Melda ecosystem (which I love). Their interfaces are fugly but the creative freedom is second to none. If you consider yourself a sound design engineer, you will love this approach. You don't need nice photoshopped user interfaces to produce great audio. All synths have their strengths, so it's a bit of a stretch to say ANY synth is the best in the world, but MSoundFactory IS right up there in spite of it being undiscovered territory in the music industry.

Hey, if you play a midi sequence instead of a keyboard, wouldn't it play when you have te lfo and wavetable editor open? And the velocity and note modulators could be used to alter the filter cutoff or resonation, kind of like an accent on those analogue synths with sequencers

Just a note that "FM" in Serum = Phase modulation in Phase Plant. What the Yamaha DX7 called "FM" was really phase modulation.

My phaseplant has an slice eq that is essentially a fully fledge eq like eq 8 but with a better GUI, and it has some different filter types too, very weird that you don´t have that.

The 'lane' tech is very much like the U-he Zebra. I like it. Nice vid. Nice synth

I was waiting for your video on phase plant! I'm still 80% on giving them my left kidney

You crack me on 21:17 lmao

Big banger !

Curious man, what synths are you looking to release other sound Banks with .

Im waiting for you to come up with a modern techno preset pack for this synth =)

My takes and addenda: 1. You can add folders to the wavetable section. Is works on WAV so you can just add tables from other synths into it. 2. The LFOs can unsnap from the grid. It's the little magnet icon in the LFO editor. 3. The option for PM synthesis on top of AM and FM is killer. Now I don't have to load up Time & Space or the Casio clones. 4. The number of distortion types (and the lack of a user-defined waveshape option) is kinda sucky. 5. Speaking of Serum, the lack of an FX chain version is actually a huge letdown. It's probably to sell more FX separately, which sucks. 6. I'm surprised it doesn't have a per-lane output. It'd be nice to have the option to take outputs from Lane A,B, and C separately. It's something you can hack together tho. 7. The mod parameter mappings are weird. Why do we change the depth amount at the input knob and not at the thing we are modding? Also, the lack of a 'Matrix' to view mods and aux depths is not a fun time. 8. This may come with time but the community support hasn't quite taken off as it did for Massive and Serum. Only time will tell but, currently, I haven't seen any preset packs that blow my mind. 9. No MIDI MPE support. It's not something that 99% of the consumer base cares about but it'd be nice to be able to use my Roli with it. 10. There are random buttons. You can also save per-effect presets which is dope. 11. The wavetable control is actually on point. Being able to mod the "Bandlimit", "Harmonic" and "Phase -+" is really great.

I now have Serum, Diva, Iris 2...please dont convince me to get another. I honestly feel like Serum and/or Diva is more than adequate for producing label-quality music. And most of the stuff we all love was built with Sylenth/Massive/Serum/Diva That said, I do really like Pigments... ugh, FML.

it sounds like the future of EDM !

Have you used Pigments at all? I would be interested to hear what you think about it.

Thanks Sam Whirl

That Wavetable you chose at 10:46 kinda reminds me of good ol' Modern Talking

in the good year of 2019 people still don't know that comb filtering is just a really short delay fx with high feedback. just modulate the delay and put a basic filter after it

this is a very promising synth ... your cpu is the limit. i like that concept.

The Instagram story 😂😂😂 of the last spaceship😂

Whats the sound engine like ? can you push the sampling and how do the filters sound ? the market is flooded with soft synths everyone is trying to make the one stop shop synth. I would rather have synths that do one thing really well with it's own character.

14:03 couldn't you just set the output of the LFO to inverted for the inverted saw?

Could you talk about granual synthesis?🙏🏻😇

will you be making presets for Phase Plant?

Doesn't having the fx and not using third party fx mean that you can modulate the fx the same as the wavetables etc? Because then it becomes more important to have the fx

Are you going to do a master guide to this like you did serum ??

multiply allows you to mix LFO Enveloppe together, let's say that you have a random LFO, min will only keep value lower to zero, invert for max.

You need to edit the link in the description

in mx opinion by far the best investment is room treatment. xou willl be able to buy a couple of phaseplants butonce you know what is haappening in yiur studio it is a huge difference

The 10 best sound design vsts for the best electronic music producers in the world. 1-Serum 2-Phase Plant 3-Sylenth1 4-Pigments 5-Massive 1.5 6-Dune 3 7-ANA 2 8-Spire 9-Sektor 10-BasMaster

Serum 4 ever :)

I can't find any of the things like bend+ or filters or that type of thing serum does, if phase plant does have this PLEASE let me know I spent all my money and now I feel like I should have bought serum😭😭😭

I suggested you to make a video on it 6 months ago.

i like that you can rent to own Phase Plant over Splice

it was psichedelic sound or german trance?

i don't know why, but mine doesn't sounds good with PhasePlant, idk why. i can create great sounds with little effort in Vital, Serum and Pigment, but somehow in Phase Plant it's hit and miss. the sound didn't mixed well, and it sound very amateurish, even though i'm using the same filter, env, modulation etc

FWIW, the Curve Editor window (and all the pop-out windows) does not steal focus on Windows. You can play notes just fine while tweaking the curve. You might want to reach out in the Kilohearts discord to see if the devs are aware of this bug on your OS? discord.gg/P68Wuv

yes

Ummet Ozcan is finally releasing Genesis Pro, you should try it when it comes out.

Kinda makes me sad how little attention Falcon gets, its so good and is easily better than serum

Hope you don’t have to water it too often? 😆🤪 hahaha my humor is the best or what? This is how you get when you have been in studio all day and all night composing. It's 5:19 am here in Norway now. You’re probably in LA, right?

Their pricing kind of pushes toward subscription, cuz it’s a harsh situation otherwise. Good thing the synth looks awesome though. Or a bad thing for my wallet haha. Probably won’t pull the trigger yet, I have plenty of synths already I should spend more time with. But if you don’t have Serum, Massive, Pigments already, the sub is a great deal. This is one of those “does it all” kind of synths

Kilohearts not new to vst synths. Maybe you forgot the awesome Khz One. A perfect synth for trance music since years

Yo! Do you play CSGO Zen?

You can edit the lfo shape.

Toolbox also has Multi-Pass a dope Multi-Effect

what kind of vst‘s can you recommend for dark techno sounds ?

Guys, Slate Digital offers the kilohearts bundle as part of their subscription.. might want to look into that as an option.. I'm assuming phase plant is included in that. It's like a $160 or like 15 to 20 bucks monthly..

And these moment Serum feel terror.

Plenty of other options: Icarus, Spire, Hive, Dune 3, Rapid, Avenger, Synthmaster/Synthmaster One, etc.

Serum, avanger, what else... :O

Time now to wait another 5 years before this synth too dies out

Yes. Also they offer the thing for 10 bucks a month with 100 dollars back at 12 months so it takes like 8 years for you to overpay!

Phaseplant has better stuffs on the fx and the osc section than Serum, but Serum has better wave editor and crazy filter types. Doesn't seem better than Serum but as good as it

Isn’t phase plant an old VSTi? And does it have something to do with synth plant? Best regards from Oslo/Norway 🤝😀👍

its cheaper to buy a slate digital all access pass for like 24 dollars a month and you get all of it plus slates vsts. :P

wait wait wait.... thats my artist name...

"what is up Ninja is my name is Sam world"

Could you make a video of the diva plugin? I'm currently trying to figure out which plugin i should buy and i would really like to hear your take on it

Serum all day long

The title is confusing it says best synth for edm but the video is not about spire.

Dude, you need a popkiller ...

Sex is good and all, but have you ever tried synth with infinite amout of oscilators?

Try Arturia Pigments

Yes def worth my left kidney

Looks like worth the kidney

nooo wheres the beep beep as the intro :(

2:34 sausage fattener with a little bit more spice! talk about making me hungry

The sound is more "warmer/fuller" than Serum. The only downside is that there are not as many distortion types as in Serum

This guy is hilarious

Good price tag for the stuff you get if you don't own serum already. Most of the parts are in your DAW and you get things your DAW doesn't come up with. Are you using Fruityloops version 3? Just kidding.

or you just buy bitwig and get pretty much the same thing + a whole DAW

Best synth for EDM is Adam Szabo's Viper.

DOE!!!!

.... So if i buy the Synth for 170$ i get basically nothing in it? That's a terrible business model. I mean if you couldn't use the FX OUTSIDE of the Synth, fine. But damn. Paying over 300$ to have a Synth with "enough" FX while there is somethign like Serum for 180$.... No.

My first comment ever on KZfaq 😁

WHahahaha! 70% of the reason I watch you is for humor and character!!! Hmmm, but that is actually true for most artists...

Personally I think VST are all sounding the same in some way. I’ve decided to stop buying them because they suck up to muck cpu if your using a laptop. No knock to VSTs but it’s time for the hardware to take over again and thank god for Roland, korg, Yamaha mpc etc... because to me all music sounds the same. Thanks for the video though keep making music bro. Peace.

Pretty sure this comes free with FL12?

10 million is the current bid and no body parts in this market.

It's weird that you can't play the synth when you have a pop up windows open, it's probably because of some midi limitation in Ableton, I use Phase Plant in FL and I can play note while editing the EQ, LFO or even Wavetable, which is one of the reason why I start to prefer Phase Plant than Serum more for sound design But maybe if you play note in Ableton, like a midi loop, instead of directly with your keyboard, it should work Maybe FL is better than Ableton after all ;)

Is nice but the best is Falcon 2.

I think if you write "www...." your Links become available :)

I mean it's badass and a considerable purchase but I have a modular.

Best new synth period... lol

Is PhasePlant the best new synth for EDM? Well yes, but actually no

Honestly, i am a little bit disappointed about Phase Plant. Bought it just last week and yes they offer you a lot of stuff but many tools dont sound that sophisticated. Especcially in comparison to serum. The ususal low/highcut filters sound horrible as well as the formant instance. Further the distortion snapin sounds kind of weird. Additionally those "premium" plugin concept really fucks me up, especially because you see them in the presets but you are unable to tweak them if you dont own them. Much potential there in general, not fully matured yet.

Serum is much simpler than PhasePlant
