Upgrade form version 1, $50.  $149 full price.  Don’t believe there is an intro discount hence the no deal but looks amazing. Can’t wait to upgrade. 

From website:

The upgrade price for all Synplant version 1 owners is $50/€50 (incl. VAT), and the full price is $149/€149 (incl. VAT). In other words, Synplant version 1 owners get the upgrade for the price difference.

Once installed, Synplant 2 will replace Synplant version 1. Unfortunately, you cannot run them both side by side. If you open a patch or an old song created with Synplant version 1, the audio engine will run in "backwards compatibility mode" to ensure that everything sounds exactly like before. However, you will have the option to upgrade old patches to the better-sounding version 2 audio engine.

Genopatch is the big new thing obviously, but this update is stuffed with a lot of other enhancements. Here is a brief run-down:

Rewritten audio engine with plenty of new parameters ("genes") and improved DSP algorithms for every part of the signal chain.

New DNA editor with a structured parameter layout and animating graphs of the various settings. You can automate and control all genes with MIDI CC.

New "bulb modes" give you alternative ways to trigger the different branches: velocities, different ranges over the keyboard, and a "layered" mode that triggers multiple branches simultaneously.

New performance features, such as support for mono patches, glide/portamento, and tempo sync that synchronize any rhythmic components of the sound to the host tempo.

Instead of growing all branches, the mod-wheel can easily be reassigned to control various standard destinations, such as filter cutoff, LFO amount, envelope time, and more.

Rudimentary MPE support with per-channel mod-wheel, pitch-bend, and pressure.

Extendible and moddable with Javascript support, skins, etc., just like Microtonic.

does it have some random preset making button?

Not in the sense that you are asking.  That's not how Synplant works

The following videos might help provide a more nuanced answer on the Genopatch mutation engine
