Looking for Gendy alternative

Questions Code Review
1

Hi,

I’m using a synth that currently relies on Gendy3, but I’m running into occasional pops that I cannot resolve so I am looking to explore alternatives. Not sure where to start.
I’m after something that has a similar sonic quality to this:

(
SynthDef("genPad", { arg out = 0, amp = 1, gate = 1;
	var src, numSpk = 2;

	src = SplayAz.ar(numSpk, {LeakDC.ar(RLPF.ar(Gendy3.ar(0,2,SinOsc.kr(0.21, 0, 0.1, 0.9),1,[80,100,101,LFNoise2.kr(82,5,200),LFNoise2.kr(92,5,400)],0.001,0.02,12,9).sum,LFNoise2.kr(12,245,1200).lag(0.3) * LFNoise1.kr(0.15).range(0.2,0.3) ) )} !7,1,1,1,LFNoise0.ar(0.2).range(-1,1).lag(0.9));

	src = src + src.clip(0.02);
	src = HPF.ar(src,40);
	src = LPF.ar(src,XLine.kr(40,15000,20));
	src = src * -17.dbamp *\am_p.kr(1);
	Out.ar(out, src * EnvGen.kr(Env.asr, gate, doneAction: 2) )
}).add;
)

~a = Synth("genPad",[\amp,0.3])
