OhmForce Symptohm is a granular synthesizer and sample player for producers who want to turn looping audio into unusual playable sounds. Its two SyncGrain Oscillators each use a single sample as their waveform source, with stretching, pitch shifting and reverse playback available for reshaping the material. A sub oscillator with ring modulation and a noise generator add further layers to the mix.

The integrated Quad Frohmage filter section offers familiar low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, peak and notch options alongside comb filtering, ring modulation and a Moog-style filter. This range gives you room to explore both conventional tonal shaping and more experimental textures.

With over 1,000 presets, Symptohm provides plenty of starting points, but it is best suited to hobby producers and sound designers willing to learn its synthesis approach rather than expect instant realistic instrument emulations. If you enjoy digging into a manual and building distinctive electronic patches from samples, its oscillator and filter combination offers a focused playground for experimentation. The supplied platform listing identifies Windows; check the available plugin format against your DAW before installing.
