SynthV Synthesizer V Discussion Thread

The only thing I hope is that Dreamtonics doesn't go the subscription route

I'm not mad about a new engine, any more so than I was every time I had to go buy V3, then V4, then V5 -- although I have yet to cave and get V6. It just better be that SV1(?) banks are compatible with SV2, or I'll be upset lol. Especially since there are a number of unreleased banks still, from Haiyi's preorders that just opened, to the Miki and Kiyoteru releases. I guess these could all secretly be SV2 banks, but more likely they will be compatible. I doubt it will be such a huge change in synthesis that you can't port the banks, like V1->V2 was

So all in all, it's exciting! Worrying for the wallet maybe, but exciting! I wonder if they will bring back glottal stops, put in accents, things like that. Many potential options

I think it's a good idea to release a new standalone version if they're doing a big GUI overhall - being forced to use a new UI is annoying if you're someone who likes and is used to the original, so it's nice to have it be an optional upgrade.

This upgrade will be worth it entirely if they make it easier to zoom in and out on the piano roll that is all I need to make it worthwhile ;-;

This so much! One thing I disliked about the old SynthV is that some updates majorly changed things. SynthV Studio 1 in 2024 is radically different from SynthV Studio 1 in 2021, but now that they're making SynthV 2, SynthV 1 will be the same in 2027 as it is in 2025.

one feature that could be interesting and unique would be an ability to use a group of voicebanks as a choir.
And it could use AI for a natural choir result

Like the Zola unison plugin?

Unison is pretty different from choir from my perspective

 

[PearlStarLight5]

True, but the idea is that if they implement a choir feature, do you think it would function like the Zola unison plugin since it allows you to tune all 3 vocals at once so they sing the same in unison?
Actually now that I think about, harmonizing is also a huge part of choir, so it implementing such a feature would probably be different.
