About

Kilohearts' semi-modular synth. Rather than a fixed architecture you stack generators, modulators and effects, and the Snapin effects inside it are the same plugins that run on their own elsewhere in the Kilohearts range.

Signature Sound
Whatever you build it to be, with the character coming from the modules you stack rather than a house sound. Reached for bespoke bass and leads when a fixed-architecture synth runs out.

Source Kilohearts' own Phase Plant product page carries signed artist quotes: Camo & Krooked - 'Phase Plant quickly became our go-to synth for all purposes'; Netsky - 'My favourite new plugin'; Mat Zo; Darude; Nik Roos of Noisia. Developer artist page quoting them by name. All of these are drum & bass and dance producers rather than trap, drill or plugg.
