Phase Plant

About 6 months ago I gave it 3 stars and a long review.

I have been using it for the last 6 weeks and my mind has changed so much I decided to delete the old review and give it 5 stars.

I have dabbled with many synths, but only deeply learned Serum and Zebra 2, and now Phase Plant.

I use Phase plant for fun, as a hobby, I am not selling my patches or music. Thus, I cannot say if it is better or worse for genres of music.

What I can say though is that now I don't use Serum or Zebra 2, because I can do anything I want on this thing.

I got some money so bought ALL the Kilohearts products - at first I thought it was not value for money, but now I know it is, more so, given that all the phase plant FX units can be used externally in your DAW - try Multipass on different channels in your mixer...it's very very good.

The only FX it doesn't have is a granulator, but you can get grain effects by modulating loop points and offset points in the sampler. I have a granulator synth but I have not felt the need to use it. The lack of a true arpeggiator is not missed because I use Cthulhu if I want powerful arpegiation and the pahaseplant LFOs are lovely for making arpeggiator patterns as an alternative (but more limiting) approach to arpeggiation.

I use one instance of phase plant on a MacBook Air 2015 8MB 1.6 Ghz i5.......if I use the POLY function then it is very CPU heavy for my small machine, but for what I do, I cannot hear the benefit of that feature, so it's not stopped me loving this synthesizer.

Well Done Kilohearts.
