With the new Sequential Pro 3 i realised how cool it can be with Paraphonic modes. I've been playing around with this a bit in Softube Modular lately where for example you can hook up all your oscs to the same VCA, so that whenever you press one key, you also hear the last note each of the other OSC was playing, resulting in interesting evolving chords that can also be very rythmic if you reduce the release of the VCA. As demonstrated in this video below, paraphonic modes can also result in super interesting "happy accidents" when tweaking the OSC's a bit differently and then letting them cycle over a pattern. (skip to around the 10 minute mark for an example but there's several throughout the video)

Does anyone have any tips for VST's with interesting paraphonic possibilities? In my opinion, this would be a great thing for developers to add to their polyphonic synths as extra modes. My tip for experimenting with this is Softube Modular where you can really go wild, but it's more work to set things up and construct a patch, + it takes quite a bit of CPU when you have a complex patch so bouncing to audio can be a way to go.

The cool part with the Pro 3 is that you can set all 3 oscillators to very different sounds.
I don't think there's any VST capable of doing this.

can't you just stack layers in most daws?

Dune3 can be paraphonic with its dual arps and it sounds great!

EDIT:
You can also make paraphonic sequences in your DAW with every synth, just work with layers and choose the same "target"!

Cypher2 can be paraphonic.( Amber too ).
Xils lab Poly M is paraphonic I think.
Perhaps Zebra too.( duophonic)

Gforce Oddity2 is very good for duophonic.

Yeah, that's why I don't quite get why that layer stuff, or x-phonic modes have to be implemented on synthesizer level.

Although I doubt I'd have much use for paraphony or duophony anyway.

Is the any tutorial on how the Model 72 oscillator can be turned into a Paraphonic inside modular? Any presets?

Not a vst but.. BassStation2! It has paraphonic mode and even afx mode

he specifically asked for vst, you may as well list all hardware synths that have it for all the good it will do.

But BS2 isn't bs.. It's bs to claim it'd be bs.

Cherry Audio’s Voltage Modular has a lot of great modules that facilitate paraphony.

Best vst synths for Paraphonic modes?
