Thank you. I'll give it a try.

Any one else have a problem with typing "R" into it?

Very cool! Glad I bought Synplant and BitSpeek last year to round out my collection!

I love that we are going back to text as the most effective interface when working with computers. Full support.

It's a cool addition to Synplant 2.

In addition to its already built-in randomness features and its Genopatch sample resynthesis patch generator.

This Phenotype feature is a quick way to generate a nice starting point for the sound you want.

Nice work, Sonic Charge. (ironically, you don't charge too much for including additional sonic features - or anything at all, in this case).

PhenoType has made this synth fun for me. I spent a bit of time with it and managed to generate some nice new sounds.

Would be cool if something similar was possible with microtonic to describe drum kits.

It has become pretty obvious that either I or PhenType don't know how to describe sounds, but in any case I'm having fun putting random words into it and watching it struggle. Some of the results are interesting regardless. It's a bit of revenge for the way the controls changed from Synplant 1 to 2. I used to know how to... um... manage the bush? Now I find I'm flailing around and just end up doing random things whether I want to or not. May as well just embrace the chaos.

EDIT
Two questions. How does this synth have such consistently low CPU usage? And why was there no uncertainty when I asked PhenoType for "pineapple fried rice"?

Sonic Charge stuff is all tightly programmed. Magnus is a good programmer.

PhenoType is not an LLM. It doesn't have any advanced text processing capabilities and can't understand arbitrary words. If you give it something it can't understand, like words that aren't typically used to describe synth sounds, it will generate a fully random patch instead.

It's when the tap on the shoulder comes you know it's game over.
