How can I get the synplant initial preset each time i open a new synplant instrument ( the preset shown in the video ) ? How can I start with it ?

over 3 years no reply??!! I need to know too

Synplant will load the last used patch by default. Not entirely sure why you would want to load the Init patch every time? But you can find the Elem Init.synp patch in the Elemental folder. I think it is possible in some DAWs to save the instrument and patch as a preset that you can reuse.

Ok thank you. Btw, it is normal for people to want an initial patch, especially for sound design. Most synths have this option in the menu.

Ah, yes. Synplant is not like other synths, it's the total surprise machine. 🤪

We have this menu option in our other products, but with Synplant we focused on the non-conventional way of exploring sounds with the seed and branches randomization options. For those that design Synplant patches using the DNA editor, I can see how you would want to start from an init preset.

Yes, this is exactly it. Although I find the best way is the random seed generation, sometimes it's nice to start with a sawtooth and go from there. Btw, Synplant is one of the best sounding synths out there! Please, please, please make Synplant 2 automatable with mod matrix and more effects and oscillators. :)

Elemental folder no longer seems to exist.

Assuming you're using Synplant 2 (released in Oct 2023), all of the posts above yours dated 2015 -2018 are referring to Synplant 1.

Yes i certainly am. Just bought it yesterday. And rn i don't see any way of getting the initial preset back other than cutting all the presets i've made so far out of their respective folder, uninstalling the plugin, and reinstalling it again, to then save the initial preset as a custom preset to load on demand.

Is there a better way?

no Idea sorry - I echo Fredrik's views (above) on questioning the need for an init patch in Synplant, and I have personally never looked for one in either Synplant 1 or 2.

It's just to have a basic set in stone starting point. But i sorta agree, after messing around with it some more i've embraced the randomness and just spam generate new patch until i find something that sounds cool and then go from there.
