First thing is, the initial release's genopatch doesn't support drag and drop from either the DAW's browser or Windows file explorer. Which was something I was worried about, as that is a bit of a workflow killer, since most users (well I for one) always use the DAW browser to preview sounds, which I would then like to drag into plugins (any plugins, but especially a synth like this one). So hopefully, that will be added before too long in an update.

2nd teething issue... The VST3 had errors, when scanning for the plugin in FL Studio (current release), meaning only the VST2 version currently works, until that issue is resolved.

Edit: I got VST3 working after an uninstall/reinstall. It seems there were some conflict between remnants of Synplant v1 on my system and the new Synplant v2 (which is intended to completely replace the former). All working okay now though.

But it looks and sounds great. So I'm gonna play around with it some more now...

Edit: On a positive note, it would appear Synplant 2 is backwards-compatible, since I believe, it uses the same plugin ID as its forbearer. Although, I've not been able to fully confirm that, since all my previous projects were saved using the VST3 version of Synplant v1 ... and the VST3 for Synplant 2 doesn't currently work in FL Studio.

Drag and drop works fine on MacOS, using vst3 and au.

It’s f**king great!

I had a lot of fun today with this synth. I don't think ive had as much fun with a synth release since serum came out. I never got on the synplant 1 train though so its completely new to me.

No doubt the Synplant 2 is "fun to play with".
But how useful its as an instrument?
If your time goes in tweaking and messing with this genomegadget,
will your song never be finnished?

I have plenty of time, and who cares about finishing songs!

Hello,
Synplant1 missing after install version 2 ???
It seems the new installation overwrites the v1 ?

Not happy with this!

Used Synplant within a lot of different projects with different DAWs, so I lost hours and hours of work ?
Any workaround?

new version should play the old presets, in backwards compatibility mode

Just to re-iterate, Magnus writes this in the introduction:

wrote:If you open a patch or an old song created with Synplant version 1, the audio engine will run in "backwards compatibility mode" to ensure that everything sounds exactly like before.

we should all be aware that Synplant 2 is a replacement for v.1, is not a side project, if you update to v.2 your first version is gone, i was hoping that you can have the 2 versions because the v.1 is so efficient and still good

On a separate post, the list of sound designers is quite impressive. Flume, Virtual Riot, Solar Fields and many others - quite the list!

GenoPatch is the most fun, I've had in sound design in a long time. It's not a perfect, bread-and-butter, un-aliased, supreme, Moog/Serum-like sound everytime. But dropping a sample and then watching the engine work it, is just so... immediate.

Someone over at VI-control called it "Addictive Synthesis".
