I remember many years ago we were visiting some VERY high profile psytrance producers, friends of ours who had agreed to a sample swap. We were all talking mixing and design but it was like extracting blood from a stone when it came to them sharing anything.. They gave nothing away, it was painful. We were getting hard drives ready so we could do a swap and our whole drives were coppyed across, The drives contained 4 years of home made loops, stabs, efx, risers etc. Where we were given some really lame kicks and a hand full of hats that were about as good as the stock battery files. after asking if that was all we were getting I pulled the drives out and walked away. This was quite common back when I was producing, I grew up in Goa 80's-90's and knew everyone so its not like I was a stranger asking for free stuff. I have known many of the names since I was a toddler. The thing that bugged me more was the unwilling attitude to help those that were born in the Goa trance scean and would obviously be the ones to continue it. DJ's were taught mixing but no shared any producing knowledge. I stopped producing many moons ago as being self taught and getting older making money was a nesesity and the progress was slowing due to time.. with no one sharing techniques it was tiresome getting anywhere as it seemed that many of the producers would prefer the monopoly. So I can not thank dash enough for the work he's doing, the kind of sounds are very very very close to home and I would have done anything for 2% of this in the early 2000's
Now you have it all! And there are so many ways to produce so many styles of music.. VSTs, etc.. It's almost like a cheat code was created over the past 10 years.. If you stayed with it, you probably have some bangin tracks now after 20+ years.. Being broke to practice is very common. I think..? I've taken almost a year off of work to drain my savings and learn about all of this stuff. I'd be selective about whom I gave a fast pass to as the past 8-12 months can easily be condensed into a few lessons from a well organized person. I know some people in the dark scene doing very well, we don't share a lot but there are a couple that will be happy to teach me for some compensation, which I respect as they have decades of experience. Now, you can easily access the sounds from 10 years ago but to continue to be a pioneer is pretty rare,not very many people fully know what they are doing. Dash def does.. I also notice with some YT tutorials, people will actually do patches and such in ways that are close but not exact.. Especially with the bassline.. I've spent so much time trying to figure out how to get good tone, clarity, and space for that staccato but to get it perfect and trancy is still illusive for me.. I think the waveform has a lot to do with it, but I probably need more knowledge on synthesis, in general. Maybe another reason some people hesitate to share is because they want people to experiment on their own and create their own sounds? I recently learned the Nord Lead is a psychedelic powerhouse.. Modular is super powerful too. I am also studying jazz and orchestral music to be able to incorporate it's styles into trance.. Shit is difficult, for sure.. Lol Still can't make a bassline I like.. I have many years of work to do. It's exciting, fun, disappointing, frustrating and so no.. Lots of life lessons coming from music. I'll never be able to stop. @@Maradnus
Ok man, I saw the whole video. Not in one take though. But what a treasure !!! I can't thank you enough for sharing all these ideas. I know that some of these will push up my synthesis ideas and my music. Big respect to you.
Awesome masterclass ! Btw on the Poly FX video, I have troubles to reproduce the patch, with the LFO modulating the filter cutoff, I have to let the LFO retrigger at each note to have the different voices being modulated with the different phase of the LFO. If I choose never trigger from note on like yours, all my voices follow the same LFO course, therefore you don't have this floating feeling of each voice's filter cutoff being modulated by a "different" LFO. Not sure if I'm clear here, but my point is when you select trigger from note on, each voice will have it's own LFO running when you trigger it, but when it's never triggered from note on, all the voices follow the same LFO wave.
You're so smart man. I love watching a video, having no idea what any of it is then coming back months later and having light bulb moments haha. Thank you for teaching us
Much love brother, these are gifts of high knowledge. Very grateful for this stuff, imagination lightning storm from all the possibilities here. Kiloheartz had some looooong vision on this project.
Must admit, I'm not a psytrance guy but always find something useful in your videos. Great work, thanks for taking the time to inform others, such as myself, who don't always appreciate the sometimes overwhelming capabilities of our software. The upper/lower limit function I found quite useful for sending different modulation to high and lowpass filters to make a more animated and contollable bandpass filter
Just FYI from what I gather from the Kilohearts developers in a livestream they did, even if you set an LFO to an audio-rate speed it will not be updated at audio-rate, the orange-coloured automation connections will only update every buffer or every 64 samples (whichever is smaller). Only the green connections are truly audio-rate (updating every sample). So you should use an oscillator rather than an LFO as your source if you want true sample-accurate audio-rate modulation.
I don’t know if it’s intentional, but on tip 5 where you show your scale it has a few notes longer then the others which will give them bigger chance to be triggered with a random. This is actually an awesome way to control the randomness and give more chance to the note you would like to be triggered more often.
I've used Phase Plant for about 2 years. It's my favorite synth and I know it pretty well. Having said that, I've learned a lot and I'm only halfway through this video. This is by far the best video for everything Kilohearts I've come across.
Dude, these tips are insanely good 🙏I'm going to need days before I can integrate them all, that's so much value 🙏 Just bought Multipass and Phase Plant today, but I'm blown away by the endless possibilities. It's the future of music production without a doubt, I can't believe I did not give these a try sooner
So.... much... information.... I'm on my third try. Keep stopping to implement & retain. Thank you for doing these. I've learned more about sound design in the last three months than I have in the last three years. Much appreciated!
Another very inspiring video from you, I am enthusiastic about your channel and will keep myself up to date with you. Keep it up! Greetings from Northern Germany
I love your videos, always straight to it and you don’t dumb it down. Can you tell me how to get the pitch follower to output midi notes of what is happening at the time? I can’t figure it out, I’m missing something
Great video as usual! Learned some cool tricks here. The filter x1 I believe is 12db though. It's something i requested a while back about adding a 6db option.
Although I love the simplicity of this synth and what it can do, I’m always out of ideas for some bangin’ sounds. I mean I have an idea what I want to do, its just translating that into the sound in my head but feel I don’t understand enough about sound design yet to do that. Videos like this are very helpful though and I appreciate your efforts!
Just keep practicing, I usually have that effect when diving into a new tool, but after a while we craft techniques and understanding which help improve our "sound vocabulary"
Hey, now, whilst I haven’t had any personal issues with your thumbnails I must note that this current thumbnail is amongst your best and you should seriously consider it as the template going forward with perhaps paying attention as to what you could play around with e.g maybe Moog style knobs for the eyeballs, the kilohearts logo as eyeballs, etc. That should quell the needless dissent and trolling. EDIT auto erect can’t tell moog from moon.
Now THIS is one crazy informative video. Dash should do some follow ons because his brain needs transplanting to mine 😮😊 Warning: Dash goes WAY WAY IN in a MASTER Masterclass
Thanks for the great clip. I'm working on a big project using breath rate input and want to modulate atmospheric filters in Max from the live Breath Rate data, and i have a hard time finding the good tool for that. I just downloaded Snap Heap and have Phase Plant, i tried Morph EQ with the Morph parameter automated, but it's not "rich" enough. Thanks if you have a tip or proposition, Martin
can anyone enlighten me, why would you buy multipass if you can just setup channel 1 serial into 23456 parrallel and 7 serial, use filters to split the 5 channels how you like and you have a multipass preset within snapheap?
Hey man i've really been enjoying your tutorials on snap heap, great stuff! I have a question and i can't find it in the manual or online and you may know? I want to retrigger an LFO when a note plays but i can't find the button?
question about 8:02 #5 - Quantize Pitches to Scale I been trying to create sample instruments I recorded bottle sounds and I trying to get that tonal element sound to be in pitch how would You use this technique to login on a single pitch?
I'll get me a coffee, a lunch and maybe my dinner to watch this entirely. Thanks Dash! Just what I needed.
In b4 this becomes the most watched Phase Plant video on this entire platform! 🔮📈
Haha! 😁
completely blown away by the amount of info here!!!!! You're a gentleman and a scholar my dude
Thanks, Dash. After such material, it seems that there are no more restrictions in the fantasies of sounds. A sound galaxy...
OMG never realized what a monster of a tool slice EQ is. crazy how much power in some of those tiny snapins is
Oh damn HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! Can’t wait for this one. 🔥🔥🔥
Epic video Dash! Your love for sound design is undeniable, even better, you share it with others. Big ups, respect!

Hey, Dash, thank you so much for the timestamps 🙂
Any time!
killer tips, this vids gonna become a reference point for me
k💗s. Nice video I am at the beginning now. Just learning... Thnx!
It is indeed, a masterclass! Very detailled.
You already know what I'm gonna say Dash.
Superb video, and as always gets me into the creative mood. 👌
Ok man, I saw the whole video. Not in one take though. But what a treasure !!! I can't thank you enough for sharing all these ideas. I know that some of these will push up my synthesis ideas and my music. Big respect to you.
Respect, i never watch tutorials but i loved watching this

Same here 🤔
great video thanks, they should make it possible to save groups
absolute gold. learning so much about the khs ecosystem and I'm only 30 minutes in. thank you!
What an awesome video - many thanks for this. Gonna spend a LOT of time trying some of this stuff out. Love the detail you go into.
Great video! Your depth of knowledge is insane and inspiring! thank you for sharing
You left out the most important tipp:
The main window, Snap Heap and Multipass have different games each if you click on the controller button
You're so smart man. I love watching a video, having no idea what any of it is then coming back months later and having light bulb moments haha. Thank you for teaching us
Much love brother, these are gifts of high knowledge. Very grateful for this stuff, imagination lightning storm from all the possibilities here. Kiloheartz had some looooong vision on this project.
Thank you! The best Kilohearts tutorial in the whole internet, so much value. :)
Wow, thanks!

That's a lot to take in, so I guess I'll just keep coming back and adding a few things to my toolkit. Thank you!
Legend! My goto channel for sound design. Thank you, sir!
Appreciate this so much!
Love this! thanks Dash, as per usual, premium content
You should be on every VST manufacturer's payroll
I mean really... I've seen the shit videos kilohearts makes

Yes ofcourse, like with most plugins, I was focusing on the ability to do it in their FX hosts :)
Thanks Dash !! what a Phaseplant Bible and inspiring ideas !

Just today I was looking through your phase plant videos lol thanks dash!

Fantastic information that will help me get that much more out of Kiloheart's great ecosystem of plugins!
So.... much... information.... I'm on my third try. Keep stopping to implement & retain. Thank you for doing these. I've learned more about sound design in the last three months than I have in the last three years. Much appreciated!

top class tutorial! Thank you so much Dash

Insane video! Thanks for putting it together!
That moment when you realize you can put snapheap into snapheap into snapheap!!!
Awesome video as always!!! Super inspiring
genius. ty
Now THIS is one crazy informative video. Dash should do some follow ons because his brain needs transplanting to mine 😮😊

Because that's a nightmare, also you don't get phase accurate dry/wet ;)
@@DashGlitch thanks!
❤🔥
Hey man i've really been enjoying your tutorials on snap heap, great stuff! I have a question and i can't find it in the manual or online and you may know? I want to retrigger an LFO when a note plays but i can't find the button?
Right click the triangle /play button bottom left of the lfo
I appreciate you bro. Thank you
Phaseplant>>>
I really shouldn't have drank margaritas last night....
so we started at advanced and progressed to JEDI Master toward the end is how it should be described.
question about 8:02 #5 - Quantize Pitches to Scale I been trying to create sample instruments I recorded bottle sounds and I trying to get that tonal element sound to be in pitch how would You use this technique to login on a single pitch?
Is there a way to pitch sync for example osc 2 to osc 1? Like what you have in the dfam for example
Do you mean like hardsync? no but the osc itself has a sync parameter so you can "fake" it
anyone know how the mpe works when using phase plant in ableton? for me, it doesn't react at all
Can I do most of this with phase plant only?
Or do I need snapheap and multi?
Thanks
To much information. My brain 🤯
Curious - with this is there any reason to get Morph EQ?
Yea morphEQ is much quicker compared to sliceEQ which requires window-flipping, and can hit exact frequencies with less trial and error, both great
Is it working for reason as well or better upgrade to bitwig?
is there poly feature for snap heap and multipass?
no, voices are summed inside the synth plugin. I think if SH/MP are loaded inside a phase plant lane and it is POLY'd, that will work
Hey Dash, how are you? Do you mentoring?
Mentoring, I do. Check my Patreon inner-circle tier, you must :)
Educational plus zero pretentiousness makes this vid worthy of the Archives of Awesomeness.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS 4king AWESOME OVERVIEW 🫡
