Nice! "Best Invention Of The Year" makes me proud. No denying that. But "something of a software god". I don't know. Should I put that on my business card? :-P Coincidentally, I just finished coding what I consider my best invention of this year. I'll show it to you next year.

Yeah, what have I done? Who needs Microtonic now? 🙀
This new Synplant 2 synth plugin, you can feed it any sound you like and it will try to recreate it using AI with some 'basic' 2osc synthesis. So naturally I fed it some 808s and put together this drum beat using the sounds it spat out.

Sort of. Genopatch will attempt to mimic sounds with the Synplant synth engine (basically a VA with two oscs + fm + multi-mode filter synth). The plant branches randomizes the patch params when you drag them (as did Synplant 1), but you can manually edit the params too.

Well, personally, I've always admired synths with few parameters and plenty of character. My goal with Genopatch was never about replicating every sound on Earth but to draw out the best of Synplant within its confines. If something is everything, it is also nothing.

Some Windows users report that Synplant virtually freezes their PCs when running Genopatch. It's unclear why this happens only on some installations, but I want to get to the bottom of it. If you are affected and want to help, please join here:

VST was truly visionary and VST2 has served us well for almost 20 years. Thank you! I am disappointed to hear that you are abandoning VST2 when it is still perfectly adequate. VST3 is an entirely new format and too different to guarantee a smooth transition for us and our users.

The CPU in the POs have no cache at all, which would make timing attacks like Meltdown/Spectre impossible. It also makes them very predictable: exactly 1024 instructions per sample they produce. Never more. Never less. </ComputerLesson>
