Thanks for the comment :) I didn't notice the warp folder in Serum, will go have a look, yet I don't think simply applying phase modulation from a specific waveform would allow all the things I'm refering to, for Serum it could well be the case; I mean, among "similar" plugins we'd have to mention Zebra and Vital, which definitely seem capable of a very diverse things. I really like Phaseplant, as I mentioned several times in the video, and I did learn a lot from your videos about it, the bass in my recently uploaded short for example was made using clocked curve modulators as you brilliantly explained. And yes, I do acknowledge having a modular architecture, I could do all that and more, just adding more components, I just find it well... Obviously feasible, but quite time consuming, and much harder to tweak in detail. I'll definitely be using this synth in my music :) as I mentioned, I was obviously nitpicking or so. Thanks again for the comment, and for all the good work on your channel :)

@@platipo I mean the folder in Phase Plant, using the "morph" tables as PM source, you can achieve all of serum's warp modes and more, also very similar to vitals warp modes (not the spectral stuff - you need to dive into the editor for that). I've even applied these same tables in the hardware domain and achieved the same waveforms as I get with serum etc ;) The idea of phase plant is to build your own perfect building blocks for an ideal synth, each component is not very advanced but altogether the eco-system can build almost anything. Think of it like Lego :)

if you think about the concept of PM, you're manipulating the phase of a frequency depending on the value plotted by the chart of the incoming source. Using this theory, you can potentially turn any waveform into any other waveform, it all depends on the shape of the PM source ;)

First of all, thank you very much for your last comment, I'm kind of ashamed of myself, as I have quite a scientific background, and this should have been obvious, but really, your explaination helped me understand exactly what PM or so called PD actually does better than ever. Anyway, I believe the folder is "modulators" as the morphs one seems to be the one containing basic waveforms or so Back to the previous conversation, yes, I understand the "lego" concept, even though I never dived into the hardware modular craze, I've been programming Zebra2 for like 10 years, using it as my main instrument, and you see, that too is a modular, but the building blocks aren't all necessarily that minimalistic; sure you can make them simple and computationally cheap, if you don't need them to do more, but at the same time, you can make quite complex stuff without having to use dozens of components. This in my view helps keeping your programming "tight" if you get what I mean, and patches easy to tweak for different needs. Here if I need an even slightly more complex component, I have to go to the snapins/fx lanes, and that's a one way trip. I kind of like the idea of having only a basic filter and a distortion unit, but at the same time, things such as a comb filter, could definitely help as "basic" building blocks. On the Snap Heap thing yes, I get it, but Snap Heap is to be bought separately, so, someone getting only PhasePlant can either dedicate a whole snapin lane to making a decent reverb, or give up the idea of using the built in reverb altogether... no big deal on the practical side, as I and many I know wouldn't usually put a reverb as a insert in their projects anyway, on the "sound design" and patchmaking front, the story is different, for reasons unknown to man, people expect presets to have their reverb already, and doing that in Phaseplant, if you don't also own SnapHeap, can be tricky. Regarding my observation about the pitchwheel and other midi modulators, of course I get that instancing many copies of a pitchwheel makes little to no sense, but since this is the case, I shouldn't be able to do that. I mean, since the modwheel got the "special treatment" and got itself its dedicated space at the top left corner, why couldn't the other midi modulators be treated the same? That was an observation about good interface design, together with that about the useless switch for the lane 3 output. Again , hey, I think it is a brilliant instrument, I'm liking it, but there are a bunch of things which could imho quite easily be better :) Thanks again for the comment, and forgive my late reply.

what up Dash Glitch :D

Thank you :) But really, I believe they were made with very different purposes, I doubt you could learn how to do a Krell patch from this video :D

Thanks :)

I was in similar waters for a while, saw great enthusiastic reviews, then I found it was on a discount and couldn't say no. In retrospect I'm quite happy about it, it's another tool in the box, and it definitely has some features no other tool I have has, but... Well, I suppose you watched the video :D

@@platipo Indeed! I think maybe I might still buy it anyway. It seems to be a fantastic platform for experimentation, which is what I'm into at the moment. I really love things like VCV Rack, and I recently bought Bitwig because that also seemed like it had the right approach to connectivity. Phaseplant will probably fit into that context very well I think.

I wholeheartedly agree, but PP by default does not include SH, which makes the whole system effectively more expensive; if you want to design your patches carefully, you'll need to dish more money...

@@platipo Absolutely, but i never saw PhasePlant as the final synth, the whole KH Bundle IS the synth, for about the same price the only competitor is Falcon, but UVI effects are a separate purchase, and a lot more expensive

@@user.08994 but it does get sold as marketed as a standalone synth, while it is actually a "gateway drug" to an ecosystem, and you'll have to get snapheap even just use the synth "properly" if you get what I mean; I suppose we roughy agree having a slightly different perspective. I really liked the update though, should make a video about it... if I had any time to make videos that is.

Thank you very much for your comment, I kinda see where it comes from as I've been, and kinda still am a U-he man myself, Zebra has been my to go synth forever :) Yes, WT LFOs are really amazing, I wish more synths took the same approach, they makes evolving and transforming sequences a lot easier :)

Another thing that I really miss in phaseplant is the possibillity to change the amount and width of voices in unison mode. This is what makes serum and vital so powerfull. Or maybe I overlooked that feature??

Well, no, that you can do. There is a spread knob that controls the stereo opening of unison voices, and the obvious detune knob. I don't think it's just "not bad", I think in many ways it is actually great, the free audio rate modulation thing is extremely powerful, to name just one; and I really find it inspiring in many ways... But well, there also are all the problems I mentioned.

@@platipo oh my G… I totally missed that. Stupid me!! Tnx for correcting me there… I ‘m now falling in love with PhPl !!

@@XeloX58 glad to help :)

Well... You could program nearly everything in Serum or Vital without ever opening the Matrix page, I see your point, but on the other hand you know. It's just something more, not anything less; you want to stay in the "main"" page and mess with virtual pseudo-cables? Without ever seeing a dreadful "spreadsheet like" modmatrix? Fine, but someone wanting to get into a patch, debug of fine tune it, might on the other hand find it invaluabe

It is, as I sure mentioned, a very capable synth, and to my knowledge, the only modular VST which doesn't try to emulate some rack thing, or has some other wires and similar concoctions, apart from my beloved Zebra, yes, there is Zebra3 coming, but at the time I made the video, it was nowhere near sight, and Zebra2 was already over a decade old. The fart topic in itself, should deserve a more nerdy approach, I might make a video on the topic sometime :)
