Please, yes, do it. Specially at the oscillator side, as there are already many " granular" effects that are not more than a bunch of short delays with pitch shifting. But if you implement resynthesis and granular at the oscillator level, no other synth will bit Phase Plant. Any date for the launch?

Yet, the only hurdle is CPU consuming of PhasePlant. 3 oscillators in additive mode (not even FM/RM/PM) + one instance of SnapHeap kill my laptop. I know, for Samsung NP350 it's not the deal but Vital rules here undoubtedly. Tried the trial and it's good that didn't buy it BUT!!! Whenever I change system I'm your client. Will be happy to produce presets for it😊👍

So, as you said, “you can make a lot of the same patches on pigments as you can on phase plant,” but then you basically say that phase plant is not as user friendly….”it doesn’t hold your hand.” I’ve tried both. I really love Pigments. I like Phase Plant also. But for someone that is just starting to learn and get into creating their own patches, I highly recommend Pigments. It is much easier to understand, and it’s a lot more user friendly. That being said, phase plant is hella cool. And I do plan on getting it after I get done with my payment plan on pigments. I’ve already rented to own phase plant for 2 months, so it makes sense to go ahead and get it. I need to say that Serum is definitely not dead. And there are sooooo many more tutorials for Serum than either Pigments or Phase Plant. Just something to keep in mind for anyone shopping around.

fantastic sound, too, very inspiring!

Dude, I love your videos! Thanks for putting in the time to make these so enjoyable.

Phase Plant and Pigments are the two greatest VSTs of all time. Phase plant actually now has full on granular engines.

Awesome! I want this!

Great guide!

You make entertaining videos, nice job guy. And your sounds are cool.

Love the vibe.. Subscribed..

Thank you so much for this. I am going to get Phase Plant. I was only curious about it before this, but now I see how much depth can be reached simply by knowing how to use the features and then, well, using them.

Your videos quality is really good

Brilliant!

The shit that made me love your vibe was calling out the “weird edit every 5 seconds” you just straight up called out the problem. I subbed and liked and will be watching for more

I think your initial *point at a hardware synth* analysis pretty much summed it up for me. I look at giant modular racks and wires and it makes me want to barf lol. But I definitely appreciate the insight!

I use the effects bundle. Good chorus, phasers. they're perfect for synths

Phase Plant and the Khs ecosystem in general is a sound design heaven, so much freedom and so many possibilities!

I am happy the KZread Algorithm finally deigned to show me your channel - I really enjoy both your content and dry sense of humor. Fantastic videos and lovely musical sensibilities!

Also, I too love VT and Benn Jordan's cave IRs!

good vid!

Phase Plant's modulation is certainly very powerful. I think the only thing missing from this was density, i.e. having each voice play multiple grains at once. Maybe that could be done with some sort of unison control?

Ahh I was actually the guy who commented that phase plant is way more advanced than these multiple K hardware synths! I love that you actually tried it out for yourself and later decided to make a video about it! That is so incredibly cool man. I'm glad that you like it!

Bravo ! 🙂 Nice video. Very informative. It convinces me NOT to start a modular setup, and buy PhasePlant instead🙂

Let´s say you needed them all to test them against each other^^ So my grandpa always said something like owning something already is much better than being in need of it 🤣 -> Good episode again! As always...

This is awesome! I don’t know if you are as anti-iPad as I was until recently, but a friend turned me onto Drambo and I would say I recommend it. It’s like modular but on the iPad and without all the wires. Pretty cool actually. Your comparison of Phase Plant made me make that association. Do with that what you will.

Drambo is a genius app, I love it to death!

“I’m a doctor Jim, not a sound designer!” Great demo, BTW.

Fascinating.What do you think of the MSoundFactory bundle?It seems to have a lot of ''bits'' to plug together as well as the more straight forward instrument patches.

PhasePlant is goated. Try using Random LFO with independent voices instead of unison ones.

As I see it, the processes you go through in Phase Plant constitute a hybrid composition. Perhaps the two plug-ins are equally deep but the comparison that you made with the modular is way more obvious inPhase Plant. Interestingly, as the experiment progressed you seemed to work towards a more homogeneous, more playable sound where the events abd the randomisations were less immediately disruptive. Great work altogether.

Would be cool to see a workflow/time-taken comparison amongst Phase Plant, Pigments and the Iridium for making similar sounds from scratch. Been thinking a lot recently about whether a hardware synth would be better for me as I've been realising that I am far less motivated to do sound design when I have to point and click versus twisting knobs (and menu diving a bit) on hardware.

Thanks! Yep that sample came with Phaseplant, but yes you can load in your own as well.

It's not that there's anything wrong with phaseplant, its that Pigments does the same things and more, cost me $50 (regular $200 but it goes on sale multiple times a year) and for that $50 Arturia included the upgrade to both v3 and v4 for free, while phaseplant says its $199. It just seems like pigments is the better value for wider scope of abilities at a similar or lower price.

It was actually custom built by a friend of mine. I told him kind of what I wanted and he did a great job with it.

If you try a true granular synth, with resynhesis, you'll see the difference. There you have much smaller grains and much more control over them, specially to smooth them, as you can work on each train form, like Rapid. I love phase Plant, and true granular synthesis / resynthesis is the only feature it misses to become the best virtual synth on the market. So at some point, it's better to ask for it than to make people believe it's there.

If you buy only Phase Plant (perpetual license $99 when it goes on sale) it is far from limited. Except for Convolver, the convolution reverb, most of what Nathan did in this video can be done with only Phase Plant and the 30 or so free effect plugins that anyone can download and use as stand-alone, or from within Phase Plant. I was so impressed with the Phase Plant ecosystem, that I upgraded on sale to the everything bundle, which includes all of the paid plugins, such as Convolver, Snap Heap, MultiPass and others. This enables me to create and save complex effects chains that can be used inside or outside of Phase Plant, similar to how Guitar Rig works.

The good thing about it is it’s pretty much flexible enough to do anything you set it up to do. Just like modular, you can make it as bleepy bloopy or as musical as you’d like 👍

Apologies in advance, I wrote a rant 😊 It goes like this: I wish people would stop making videos about how to do granular in Phase Plant. No, really, please bear with me. More than a year ago the kHs team said granular was the #1 request from Phase Plant users and that they were working on it. We didn’t get it in the 2.0 update, and there really have been a lot of those “granular” videos coming out. I’m half-worried that kHs will decide that that’s enough and that’s okay, no need to actually implement true granular synthesis since everyone already knows how to do it. It’s more or less happened already the pitch quantizer, since technically the remap works, except it’s really unintuitive and rather brittle and time-consuming to configure if you go beyond the presets. An actual quantizer would smooth things out enormously, but now that we have the remap, we’re unlikely to get it. And this approximation isn’t really granular in my opinion, it’s mostly choppy, often unpleasant to hear, and there’s no real nice envelope to smooth out the rough edges on the on the “grains”. It ends up being more like a superhuman-speed, messy tremolo. It’s one grain at a time, and the grains are much too long… Yes, that particular sample may not have been ideal, but with a more interesting choice you’d hear something quite heavenly from Pigments, a sparkling, wide, gentle sonic aura. And the most important control there, to me, is the one where you tweak the grain envelope, so you can have a sharp, choppy fork-on-glass if you want, but it’s just as easy to get perfect smoothness. I’m not hating on Phase Plant here. It and Pigments are my two favorite synths of all time. Phase Plant is amazing. But it does not really do true granular synthesis, and let’s not get the developers off the hook on this one.

Its so good, but they need to update the snapins to a more advanced level.. Like the phaser is pretty useless :/

Glad this doesn't support my OS, so I don't have to feel obligated to buy it.

Sounds like s..
