Synplant is a software synthesizer with a genetic approach to sound creation.

Instead of creating patches the conventional way by turning dials and knobs,

Synplant lets you explore a world of organic sounds by planting seeds that

grow into synth patches. The purpose of this product is to move the focus away

from the sometimes intricate and difficult process of sound synthesis and

instead let you develop sounds by simply using your ears.

You will find that creating synth patches with Synplant will be as easy as

listening and deciding what you like and then having the sounds evolve in the

directions you desire. Although Synplant is exceedingly easy to use, whatever

you do, do not let its relative simplicity fool you. Beneath its straightforward

and playful interface you will find a versatile synthesizer of the utmost quality

with lots of character. Also, once you are ready to get your hands dirty and

dig deeper into the anatomy of Synplant you will have the option to crack open

your sound seeds and modify their underlying genetic code.

Synplant features a built-in step-by-step tutorial which automatically starts the

first time you launch the plug-in. Because of Synplant's unique user-interface,

we strongly suggest that you go through the tutorial at least once.
