Sonic Charge Synplant 2 Announced

[jsp1979]

....but there are already other synths that do more accurate resynthesis now...)

Which?

https://www.tone2.com/icarus-resynthesis.html (wavetable resynthesis)

https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio-le ... Harmor.htm (additive resynthesis) - I'm pretty sure there are others

Tested Harmor and found it's resynthesis disappointing. I am excited by the demo of Synplant 2, cannot wait to test it's resynthesis.

I find Harmor and Icarus to be the top tier for resynthesis. I was working with Harmor now and, if you do some tweaking, you can get very nice results (at least on the types of sounds I work with).

Do you think that level of resynthesis will be obtained with lots of other samples?

{short answer} ... Yes. With very (v.e.r.y.) few exceptions thus far, I've been nothing but pleased, surprised, and frequently wow'd or amazed. This is a 'major' update.

What type of samples do you think works best? Longer or shorter, more tonal or noisy ones, percussive, rhythmic or pad-like?

Notwithstanding "best" being subjective, I'm using mainly shortish (2-6-second) samples, because it is easier (for me) to select/adjust the start/end points, given the waveform space allotted. No 'pads' so far, but e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g else, percussive/rhythmic, string and/or plucked sounds, and particularly vocals, 'found sounds' (like metallic/industrial libraries) are really amazing. Noise with modulation/pitch variations, can be interesting as well.

Is Synplant 2 MPE compatible?

Is Synplant 2 MPE compatible?

It seems so, in the comments of Torley said about MPE:

@borisarnal1585 Yes I'm in the closed beta. Even at this early-ish stage, it feels superb on an Expressive E Osmose.

Wonderful, thanks!

imagine the same AI tech on 1000 partial additive synth

Jeez, I think I'm done selling synth patches
I welcome our new Synplant overlord and submit.

[gentleclockdivider]

I would love to see the A.I. doing it's magic on synths like Zebra or Tranzistow .
Perhaps commercialize Genopatch
I am def. buying Syn.P.2

Let's hope some of the more spammy patch sellers are too

This thing is looking and sounding incredible!

Or a modular synth that covers all (most) synthesis methods

As fascinating and good sounding it is ... I'm not sure if just 'rolling a dice' is as satisfying as creating your own sound by skills you've learned and gathered over time.

The same goes with AI.

Will I be happy with something that only needed a handful of prompts (if at all)?

but it's just a sound, surely what you then do with the sound is also important.
if the sound is good, does it matter how it was arrived upon?
i love making my own sounds, but if i hear a preset that works for me, then ill use that.

you could think of it as a synthesiser of found sounds

I probably will improve my sound design skills with Genopatch. I will probably learn methods I would not have learned with my traditional tweaking.
