LOL!

Knew what…?

I say this about every awesome new synth or effect. "Why can't this just be my little secret?"

lol why? Just enjoy it. It’s like saying only you knew about paint

In the end, to normal listeners it'll just be like your regular synthesizer, don't forget that :D

Yeah it made me realise i havent utilized my synthesizers at all i was thinking to buy this more as a learning tool then generator

for learn the best is Syntorial, its make ur brain work. here its just copy-past,

FM is absolutely amazing for creating all sort of stuff but always made too complex for mortals starting with dreaded DX7...

150$ ...

The price is pretty normal. Xfer Serum is 189 USD.@@lightconstruct

@@lightconstruct Based on how groundbreaking and revolutionary this is, it's worth the price...

yeah and next a prompt for make music with " one button " , u push and its done. Like that my cat will have the same level of any bedroom producer

I'm pretty sure we'll see that in a year or two... You choose which synth you want and voila...

@@lartisan6274 I don't think the music will suffer because of this at all, actually on the contrary, it will be much easier to achieve some absolutely crazy shit

Exactly, it's the weird stuff that it gives you that's not exactly too similar to sample that are best for me too

Yeah I think the DNA functionality and playing with the branches are the things that make it compelling as an idea. Emulation is definitely impressive, but if it sounds really true to the original yeah you could just use a sample... Using that seed as a quick way to then get somewhere unexpected is the appeal for me.

It wont take long at all for any "copiers" to release sth like this. Thats because Magnus said he only used 2-3 GPUs for training. If you use more it will be way faster.

It is apparently "Sononym".

yea, it doesnt even need to be perfekt. just to put you in the near range of the source material :)

no, you can only select one patch

@@PolarityMusic hope you could cycle through in some future update because you could get some crazy sequences that way

good idea :D

and? :)

@@Strepite I never did end up trying the plugin. Maybe I will now that you remind me

The price is pretty normal. Xfer Serum is 189 USD.

@@AdamFiregate only plugin ive ever bought was synplant and omnisphere... its def worth it to pay this guy. Synplant is amazing and so creative

it works best with plucky sounds. longer sounds work too and the harmonics and envelopes are matched but it can widely diverge from the source. which can be interesting too.

it isnt able to reproduce more complicated sounds (real instruments for example). Its best for synth patches that synplant 1 was also capable of.

Bitwig

Absolut!

made some music with it in this video :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ouCGlrWoy5fKlmw.html

Did you actually tried this synth or just writing something?

That’s a neat idea bro! I hope some developers read it

yes, but it´s additive synthesis

@@PolarityMusic yes you have a point there. But each partial is (or can be) a 2 op FM 😊

I have the synclavier V and Logic's alchemy, which is more capable. I guess this is a different take on resynthesis and much more polished @@mudi2000a

Sonic charge policy is to ignore Black friday. Instead they donate part of their revenue to selected charity.

You'll get much more fun using it while naked@

sounds cool, but you better show your results and not just scratch your tongue

a synth is always cleaner. also, if you have the synth patch, you can modify it in tiny amounts. this is a great way of creating multiple similar sounds, from one single source. the variants sound very similar, because its the end of the learning process. lower dots represents the first tries of the engine to replicate the sound. the upper dots are closer to the source. yea i agree with the trend, but here the concept is to make people explore sounds instead of tweaking knobs. and this plugin is literally 13y old.

The developer who made this is pretty incredible. It's not pretending to grow sound like a plant, that is just the unique ui design they've gone for. The ui excels at taking a sound you like and quickly demoing many many variations of that without having to adjust every single parameter yourself (you still can tweak everything if you want). Imagine you have a sound and you want say 12 unique variations. Most synths you'd have to save multiple patches and a/b them in a very cumbersome way. This can literally do it in seconds. Then you have the ai re-synthesis, which a lot of people like to hate because it's a big buzz word atm, but this is the real deal. I can chuck in a synth sample and it will recreate it then show me exactly how it came to that conclusion. Even just as an educational tool it is incredible. I've personally already learnt a lot about using reverb as a sound design tool in the single day I've had to play round with it

@@ShaunMcTague Thank you, Shaun and Polarity, this is good to know. I knew the plugin was not new, since I saw it years ago, but didn’t know it had a history that by current standards is almost venerable 😊 I stand corrected. But I do have a side note. I don’t „hate” AI, that would be like hating wrenches or pencils 😊 But I distrust the hype, and I believe it is misplaced. We are at a time when everyone can slap the „AI” label on a product, but we don’t have anything yet that is both artificial and actually intelligent. Smart, in the sense of „smart devices”, yes, but not intelligent in the sense we apply to living things with organic neural systems. People, dogs, or bats. Ask ChatGPT what time it is, and it will look up what millions of people in the past have said in reply to your question, but it doesn’t understand the question and it won’t know to check the time for you. Markov chains have been known for more than a century, they’re not even new, and certainly not “intelligent”. Which is not to say that you can’t find useful applications for them in conjunction with huge amounts of data. Such uses obviously exist. So yeah, I totally distrust what’s being called AI, as it currently stands, because I believe the word “intelligence” when referring to things like ChatGPT or Midjourney is a misrepresentation meant to generate hype and inflate the bubble. (And I've seen my share of artificially inflated bubbles.) There is nothing intelligent there. I hope we don’t come to redefine “intelligence” to mean what we are being asked to believe it means. And, as far as we know today, AI is the domain of billion-dollar corporations with petabytes of data storage required for such projects. I am unsure how that squares with a $150 plugin. At best, it would be a narrow selection from a large pool of AI-generated paths, wouldn’t it? (And, sure, this could still work, but having a thousands of premade sentences is not the same as having a brain that understands language and can generate new sentences as needed.) Of course, many vendors have already called their plugins „AI-based”, but to my knowledge not one of them has actually presented a basis for their claims or convincingly explained what „AI-based” means in their particular case.

Xfer Serum is 189 USD to compare to.

@@AdamFiregate and serum is still way more capable synth wise than synplant 2

No rules

Seeing how it uses a simple synth voice to approximate samples is pretty interesting. You can get some very uncanny results from giving it impossible tasks. But if it manages to create a good facsimile of the sound, you now have a sample you can mutilate on a granular level. I hope we gravitate more towards things like this over opaque content generators that offer zero experimentation or creativity and are designed from the top down to exploit instead of creating actual value

You dont even move your hands, you commission your muscles to do it for you

People have been writing tunes with samples for last 30+ years. Start with EMU, Ensoniq, MPC samplers etc. So yeah, you're a bit late to whine about it.

Where is the bullshit?
