Synplant is a software synthesizer developed by Sonic Charge, a Swedish software company founded by Magnus Lidström. It was first released in 2008 and has since gained popularity among musicians and music producers for its unique approach to sound design and user-friendly interface. The goal of Synplant is to move the focus away from the complex and technical aspects of sound synthesis and instead allow users to develop sounds by simply using their ears. Synplant uses a combination of synthesis methods, including subtractive synthesis and frequency modulation, to create a wide range of sounds. Its graphical user interface uses a "plant" metaphor to represent the different components of the synthesizer, with each "seed" representing a different sound from which branches can be grown to change the sound.

It features many preset sounds and sound-shaping options, allowing even novice users to create complex and interesting sounds quickly. It also offers advanced features for experienced users, including the ability to modify the underlying genetic code of their sounds.

Despite its simple and playful interface, Synplant is a powerful and versatile synthesizer with a unique character. It has received positive reviews from industry publications and users, who praise its versatility and unique approach to sound design.
