Tutorial

01

How to Download SynthGPT

Download the SynthGPT plugin from the plugin tab on your account page. You will need to choose the right format for your operating system and DAW. For Windows, VST3 should work across all major DAWs and programs. For Mac, some DAWs support VST3 and Audio Units (AU), while other DAWs support only one or the other. Your DAW's website will likely explain the best choice for you.

02

How to Install SynthGPT

Mac

On Mac, simply run the downloaded (VST3 or AU) installer and the installation will be handled for you. Once installed, if the plugin does not appear immediately, try scanning for new plugins in your DAW's settings menu.

Windows

On Windows, add the .vst3 (VST3) file to your DAW (this process varies across different DAWs). For most DAWs, you will simply need to copy and paste SynthGPT into the right folder on your computer. The most common folder DAWs look at for VST3s is C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3.

Your DAW will likely scan for new plugins when it opens. If not, try scanning for new plugins in your DAW's settings menu.

03

How to Create Sounds with SynthGPT

Load SynthGPT onto a track and open it. You will start on the Home page, where you create new sounds. Select the text input, describe a sound with words, and then press enter (return). Your text prompt will be sent to Fadr, where we will run our AI engine to create a matching instrument.

Once it's done loading, your instrument is ready to play. Keep in mind, SynthGPT creates the sound with AI, but it still leaves the composition and performance to you. Run MIDI information through it via your DAW like any other virtual instrument to play your sound.

How to Fine Tune Sounds in SynthGPT

You can use the right arrow to generate an unlimited number of new, unique sounds based on your prompt, until you find one you love. Once you find a sound you like, there's many ways to fine tune it inside SynthGPT.

First, you can modify your prompt. Adding more specific information to your prompt is a great way to tailor your sound. For example, switching from "piano" to something like "dark intimate felted piano" will allow you to have much greater control over the result. In our opinion, changing your prompt is the most powerful way to fine tune SynthGPT sounds.

You can also use the Controls and Filter pages to fine tune your sound. On the Controls page, you can control the ADSR envelope for the sound with a helpful visualization. On the Filter page, you can choose a High Pass, Low Pass, Band Pass, or Notch filter, each with either a 12db/oct or 24db/oct slope.
