Sound Design Snacks 51 – Modal Synthesis Explained
When you filter noise, and push the resonance you get an oscillation in the filter, which can be used to emulate the modal resonances of physical objects. The results can be strikingly organic and useable.
Introducing...
💾 Microwave Proof by Camellia 💾
The cat evolved, and is no longer concerned by radiation.
Camellia's (
@Cametek
) high tempo fizzling sizzling sounds cause the most mayhem in the stuffy, turgid "real world" as possible in the least time.
Sound Design Snacks 80 – Low-mid "Modern Rumble" in Game Audio
There's a very particular type of sound featuring in more and more video games these days.

Sound Design Snacks 62 – How to make stereo (part 3)
The thrilling finale to this explosive trilogy is finally here.
Use Comb Filter for awesome mono-compatible stereo widening.
Coming this Spring!
Phase Plant is the crowning achievement of the Kilohearts snapin eco-system. A limitless hybrid synthesiser that combines the power of our snapin effects with new modules for signal generation and modulation.

Sound Design Snacks 76 – Super-freq
You know what's really freaky? Other than Fridays, that is...? Shifting the frequency spectrum of a tonal/harmonic sound linearly, so that the harmonics go all out-of-whack. Just something to try out until you get your own body back. Enjoy!
🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪
Today is the Swedish National Day, on which we celebrate how Wasa, the guy behind classic Swedish hardbread, in 1523 became the first person in the world to outrun the Skifree monster.
The Swedish painter Carl Larsson captured the events perfectly.

We are super excited to announce the latest addition to the Kilohearts Ecosystem.
Say "Hello!" to Convolver. 👋
Available now from our website with a 50% intro discount. Added to the Kilohearts Subscription at no extra cost.
Some feel like using presets is cheating. Others think making sounds from scratch is a chump's game. We say come one come all and create! Whether you're a sonic supernerd or a design dilletante, presets are a way to explore audio and music making. Especially when they're free!
Sound Design Snacks 73 – Polyphonic Effects
This little button opens up a world of sound design power.
Instead of layering effects across your whole sound, get them working individually, per-voice, in your sound generation, for deeper texture and control.
Trying to add a splash of colour/color to your melodic riddim or brostep masterpiece? Watery, bubbly magic awaits in Phase Plant. This is the kind of sound that Chime might call "scrombdombulatious". At least, that's what's happening in my imagination.

We've been delighted by the response to the launch of
@cametek
's fantastic Content Bank, Microwave Proof, last week. Here's a wonderful big-read interview with the author himself:
We've just added a new little modulator for all you MPE-heads to play with over the weekend. The rest of you will certainly find interesting things to do with it too...
Say hello to the Slew Limiter. It limits your slews! Update now to find out just what that means. 😊
Guten tag!
I‘m Nasko and i‘ll be taking over the khs X account for the superbooth duration!
I‘m what you could consider a khs power-user, so i i‘ll be dropping lots of sauce here in the coming days and possibly show off some cool new stuff i‘ll encounter during SB! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Camellia (
@cametek
) makes incredible, unique, and generally mind-blowing music... and he's a proud user of Phase Plant and our other plugins!

Sound Design Snacks 74 – Quieter Drums Are Louder
Selective management of energy can make your drums quieter, creating more space and clarity in your mix, while making them actually sound bigger and louder. Strange, but true. And Kilohearts Transient Shaper is freeeeee!!
Fantastic to read that our software played a part in the wonderful sound design for The Super Mario Bros. Movie! If there's one thing Disperser can do, it's making stuff way more spongy boingier!

Guys. Phase Plant is for making dubstep basses only. WTH is with all these motor engines and bird noises?!
JK. This is awesome. Keep up the good work! 🐦
Sound Design Snacks 68 – Real Monsters
Synthesising monster noises can be good fun, but there's nothing like drooling and growling all over your own microphone, then pitching it down. Hideous!
Whoa! Our very own Phase Plant has been shortlisted as one of the Best Software Synths of 2019 in

Sound Design Snacks 64 – Archive tape effect
In the Netflix series Archive 81, the soundtrack (by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow) features a truly unsettling tape wobble effect, which we're recreating in Snap Heap in this episode.
Phase Plant is TWO YEARS OLD!
Happy Birthday, Phase Plant! 🎂
What better way to celebrate the anniversary of our beautiful baby, award-winning, semi-modular synth than to have a big sale and a FREEBIE!.

*NOT Phase Plant, Multipass or Toolboxes.
It's kind of hard to make music when you're also developing the tools you're using. Hard to stay in a creative mood when you're also mentally making notes of features and tweaks you'd like to do. That said, I love to be able to shape my own tools.

Sound Design Snacks 57 – An Unconventional Approach to Granular
Proper granular synthesis gives the user a method of cutting a grain from a sample, and ways to randomise or vary the precise position, length, shape, and so on, of that grain. But what if...
It's Phase Plant's Fifth Anniversary! 🥳
To celebrate, we're running a special offer (50% off!) and an exciting giveaway (win a LIFETIME subscription!).

Here's something for ya. A Multipass effect using Phase Distortion which will make any bass instantly more present, more modern, and more exciting. Use it wisely. Or unwisely if you prefer.
Sound Design Snacks 71 – Is This EQ Overpowered?Carve EQ can do a bunch of amazing things you probably didn't know about. Like here, we're using the reference tool to listen to a guitar track in our mix and generate an EQ curve from it to use, inverted, on our bass synth.
Sound Design Snacks 58 – Room Tone
Ever forgotten to record room tone on a film set? Or needed to construct one for animation or fantastical environments?
Phase Plant may be unleashed on the public now, but our work is far from over. We're still beavering away in the Kilohearts office on the next update, which will include many requested features as well as bugfixes and performance upgrades. 🖱⌨️🖥🎧
Spare a thought for us... 😅

Enjoy! 🥰
Two of our most unique, attractive and desirable FX plugins, Disperser and Faturator are currently available at half their usual price. Offer ends March 8th.
Sound Design Snacks 55 – One Sample Challenge
It can be a fun exercise in sound design and processing to try and make all the sounds you need for a track out of a single, simple sample. Here we turn three words into five different instruments, and create a pretty bangtastic beat.
Sound Design Snacks 70 – Granu-layers
Building up layers of granular synth sounds has never been easier. Enjoy the possibilities in Phase Plant, you multi-layered legend!
Sound Design Snacks 90 – Spectral Pad Machine
This any-pad-you-want machine takes a spectral processing approach, isolating and boosting very narrow bands of the frequency spectrum of an incoming signal to turn it into a tuneful, physical-sounding instrument.
