Sonic Charge has released Synplant, a software synthesizer for Windows and Mac.
Did you ever wonder if the convention of imitating hardware in software is the final word on friendly user interfaces? Is it indisputably the most efficient, creative and inspiring way of interacting with a software synth? We asked ourselves these questions… and we created Synplant.
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 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 is available now for $89 USD (+VAT) and a bundle with µTonic is available for $158 USD (+VAT). A three week fully functional demo version is available here.

I agree! I’m a sucker for anything with a good randomize function and this one is right up my alley.
I’m looking forward to spending more time with this gem.
And by that, I mean it’s fun and sounds great.
Yeah, I got a sneak peak at this, and it’s really unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
I’ve been playing with this lovely instrument and it’s really nice. The GUI is very intuitive and the whole thing is just inspiring to work with. Expect a full review soon!
