A sound designer's dream come true...
Phase Plant is an award-winning, semi-modular soft synth developed for music producers and sound designers which offers a unique combination of quality, functionality, and workflow.
Whether you are new to synthesis or a seasoned professional, you will be creating amazing patches in no time. With limitless combinations of generators, modulators and effects available you will be able to discover and refine your own original sound.
A Blank Canvas
When you first open Phase Plant you will be presented with an empty patch. Don't be afraid! This is an invitation to dive in and start creating with all the signal generators, effects, and modulators that you need to make almost any sound you can imagine.
We understand that not everyone will know where to begin so we've included plenty of presets to get you started too...
Ready-to-Use Presets
Professional sound designers have been eager to create factory content for you to begin using right away. Browse over 400 expertly crafted sounds each with customized macro controls for fine-tuning and automation. Search and sort using our keyword hash-tagging system.
We have even included a collection of technical demos showing you how to create certain sounds and effects. Get up to speed with what's possible by going through and learning the essential synthesis techniques.
Take Control
Within Phase Plant, almost every parameter of any element can be tweaked and modulated. Bind any of the macro dials to multiple parameters so you can control and automate significant changes to the overall sound, control modulation ranges and speeds, or adjust effects levels to taste.
Once you discover the power of macros you'll realize the possible uses are endless!
Signal Generation
There are currently four signal generators and a few utility modules available in the Generators column. Analog, Wavetable, Samples, and Noise. Each one is carefully designed to offer the absolute best in quality, performance, and usability.
Add as many as you like, route them freely. Group them. Hide them. Use some of them only to modulate others. Create layered sounds in an instant. Use generator unison, or global unison, or both!
Snapin Host
If you are familiar with the Kilohearts Ecosystem then you'll already know about Snapins, our expanding range of simple and functional effects units which can be used by themselves as plugins in your DAW or combined as modules in any of our host plugins.
Phase Plant includes three lanes to load up your Snapins with different routing options and even a 'Poly' option for per-note effects.
Presets using Snapins you don't already own will still be fully functional but you won't be able to tweak those Snapins.
Modular Modulation
When it comes to modulation, Phase Plant offers unrivalled variety and flexibility with an advanced, yet easy to use, modular modulation system.
Use advanced LFO, envelope, random, midi note, pressure, velocity, as well as min, max and multiply modules in any combination you can imagine to control the myriad variables available in this synth, as well as each other!
All together now
See those numbers and knobs colored in green? Those are "audio-rate modulations", in the same vein as famous FM synths. Except in Phase Plant you can modulate almost any generator value with the output of another one. Try phase modulating a Sine using a Sample as the source. There are even filters and distortions you can modulate at audio rate available in the generators section.
Try it out
Did you not see the small piano icon in the bottom right? Well, it was hiding the piano bar so you can try out your sounds easily while designing, even if you don't have your MIDI controller connected right now. Like on the train?
And then you hide it when you don't need it to get more space for generators, right?

The Generators
Phase Plant currently offers four signal generators; Analog, Wavetable, Sample and Noise. More generators are being developed for future free updates. You can add as many as you like and route them freely between each other. There are also several utility modules to allow you even greater freedom in designing your sounds such as groups, mixing, and aux options.
For each generator group you can add an output module to send the sound to an effects lane, master, or sideband. You can also use a group purely as an audio rate modulation source for any other generator.
That’s right, Phase Plant allows for frequency modulation between all types of signal generation! FM from A to Z!
