Phase Plant is the crowning achievement of the snapin eco-system that Kilohearts have been developing since the release of Multipass in 2015. Introducing, a truly limitless hybrid synthesizer building on a modular system of generators, modulators, and effects from the acclaimed Kilohearts snapin range of plugins. Endless possibilities for creative sound design.

Phase Plant combines the power of snapin effects with new modules for signal generation and modulation, creating a hybrid synthesizer capable of what has previously only been possible in classic modular setups. It does all this on a single screen and with surprising ease.

Any Kilohearts snapin-compatible plugins you already own power up Phase Plant and it's myriad of factory presets.

Includes: The Kilohearts Toolbox PROFESSIONAL, all current Kilohearts snapins, including the new Flanger and Ensemble, valued at a total of $598.

Your Sonic Playground

Phase Plant gives you a blank page onto which you can add signal generators and snapin effects in a quick and creative manner until you are happy with your sound. Grouping your generators and setting output options allows you to create advanced FM configurations in seconds. At the bottom you can add any modulation sources you like. Everything from Envelopes and LFOs to utility features such as randomizers or mathematical operations. Everything is click and drag and users of Snap Heap or Multipass will feel right at home.

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!

Load up your Snapins

The three effects lanes allow you to load the easy-to-use Snapins you know and love from the Kilohearts Ecosystem as building blocks within your Phase Plant patches. In true modular fashion you simply add and configure the Snapins you need and mix the lanes individually.

Don’t miss that “Poly” toggle at the top of each lane. This enables per voice processing, applying all the effects in that lane to each voice individually, even giving each voice unique random values from the Random modulator.

The intuitive modulation system from Multipass has been improved with audio-rate modulations (marked in green) to allow for FM between all generator types. Do you want to FM the pitch of your wavetable using a looped sample as a source? No problem. Then route that modulation back the other way creating a circular modulation and get crazy random results? Go right ahead. All modules in the Generators area have audio rate modulation links on the right hand side, even the filters and distortions.
