the original plinky demo
the one that started it all! from this tweet - mmalex/status/1172285120214130688?lang=en - I uploaded a demo of plinky (then a teensy prototype) and from there the interest snowballed into the plinky that came out.
because I lost the original video and twitter is a trashfire right now, I thought I'd preserve this here.
you may recognise the melody as a cover of a tune 'staying pictures' by karsten pflum. it's been in my head for years, since I made a demo/video for it. the album is here karstenpflum.bandcamp.com/album/tracks and the video I made for it - over 15 years ago - is here ruclips.net/video/cDvX4ZZ7grE/видео.html

plinky - feature walkthrough and patch creation

finally got a zoom mic, and after a few attempts at recording this, where OBS messed up the audio, I finally just cut the computers out, and recorded the video on my phone, and audio on the zoom, and put them together after! 4th time lucky - plinky, my little touch synth finally has a rough walkthrough of its main editing workflow. want to know more? plinkysynth.com sample used in this is frees...
Plinky Quick Build walkthrough
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.3 года назад
Decided to build a plinky from start to end in one take, and chat through the process. Sadly at the very end, my stereo line cable for recording the plinky audio has a dodgy connection, so you can't hear the thing properly - but everything else worked! Hooray. Hopefully this is a helpful build guide; I'll be making one with better production values soon. #plinky #buildguide #diy #thonk #synth #...

playing with the multisampler, which I recorded right into the (emulated here) module over its audio input, from my yamaha upright! 2 repetitions of 4 octaves, as it happens. then fiddling with arp, euclidean rhyhthm on the arp, a bit of delay, tuning the grains to be a 4th apart, adding a bit of wobbly pitch lfo... lovely!
plinky demo + update
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 года назад
hello! a quick sound example followed by a couple of notes on useful params to play with if you're one of the lucky 5 who are getting one of these; and, update! I'd like to maybe put this up as a kit on thonk. let me know in the comments if you'd be interested to buy one, I dont know the exact price yet but it'll probably be a mid-price module, neither cheap nor outrageous. yeah, anyway, just w...

stumbled on this pretty setting on plinky, where you turn overdrive up, sensitivity down, and then *barely* touch the surface with your fingers. its right on the edge of making loud noises, but you dont let it...

are we hearing internal or external fx here?
Just came here 3 years later to say -“Great job!”. I saw loopop’s review, put myself on the waiting list at Thonk and received my kit a couple of weeks ago. I’m not very well versed in any sort of music making so I can’t really make a review but so far it’s great fun! Thank you so very much for creating the Plinky!!
I have just bought v3, is this the right video to watch or is there another one done more recent?
I was only introduced to Plinky a couple of days ago. Some how it went under my radar 😳but looked into it, liked what I saw and registered my interest on Thonk yesterday expecting it to be weeks/months until it would be ready for purchase. But surprise! I received an email saying it's available. I've never bought something so quickly. This looks throughly amazing and intriguing. Cant wait 🥰
Finally got my email, the wait is over!! I´ve already order it. Can´t wait to have it!! Greetings from mexico!
very nice
Is it possible to sample a drum loop and then mangle it somehow with the parameters?
Just got mine today, this is a great starter video, can't wait to see what I can do with it.😀
At around 20:35 you play some really nice grains/sample on the grid in the style of the new Tempera instrument - so cool! Any chance of adding a feature to add latching 'playheads' or 'emitters' on the grid, that move on the X and Y based on LFOs or CV input etc? That would save my wallet about $1,000 CAD 😄
I can't be arsed soldering that thing together.Where can i get it ready made?
can you get them ready made?
How much please?
Prob my favorite Plinky video so far
"EVERYBODY'S PLAYING WITH MA PLINKY!"
Hello Alex! I call you from Barcelona...Recently I bought a Plinky Plus expander on Reverb, from someone I have all my trust in, but I find an issue when I turn on my Eurorack Go case with both units perfectly connected (The 16-16 connector coming from Plinky to expander and Plinky to Eurorack) The Oled screen shows noisy, no way to read any info and the expander working perfectly...besides that Plinky seems to work fine also, but noisy screen... He told me to try to turn on only the Plinky, then after a few seconds, to plug the expander and...Yes, it works fine! but...I can't do it every time I turn on my system so...A After he sent me a second expander, thinking the problem may be the expander, unfortunately, I have the same problem...Both expanders react well when I turn the A/B buttons and send 2 LFO to X/Y, both expanders respond perfectly, so We think the problem must be Plinky. If I connect the Plinky Plus expander with USB power instead of Eurorack, not a problem at all...I tried to replace the 16-16 connector from Plinky to expander but nothing... Do you know how could I fix it before returning the units back?? It seems something really weird and stupid but...Thank you in advance, Alex! I love Plinky and after so long, I don't want to lose mine!
Hey Alex, why is my encoder reversed? Right side is negative and left is positive. Is it soldering error?
Love how at 15:58 your random key presses are essentially the Close Encounters riff.
sounds really good! any option for buying?
Dude, this is amazing piece of hardware, huge thanks for the effort!
Great video! I just love my Plinky and was so glad when one was available at Schneidersladen. It is the main setup in my set. Will there be any more Plinky´s in the future? And also the "expander". Thank you for making this fantastic synth!
So happy when Schneidersladen emailed me that they had one Plinky this spring. Bought it at once. Plinky is absolutely my favorite synth/module. I really hope they will be produced soon again as everyone into synthesizer should own one. Then I must buy another one! Loooots of synth for the money! Have the problem with components been solved?
Hi Alex, I want to buy one of your nice sounding little synth, but where I can get one? Pls give me a hint.
This but non-diy and in a sturdy, dust protecting enclosure. Would be very amazing.
Wow does the black one that's out now sound like that
Beautiful demo. I've been on the waitlist for over a year. Maybe one day *sigh*.
this thing looks like a complexity nightmare...
That little piece at 0:15 and forward is that piece you did with the little girl playing that brass instrument. Is that online somewhere. Had to really wrack my brain to think of it. First I thought it was Tom Thumb. Nope :). Still remember that day you stood outside my door come running from the airport because of some lost luggage :)
good ears! I remember that day like yesterday btw :) the original song is by karsten pflum, and the demo you're thinking of is here - ruclips.net/video/cDvX4ZZ7grE/видео.html - the original is so beautiful. when I 'covered' it in this video, I had no idea anyone would recognise it - but then I also didnt realise that plinky would ever be more than this video. so... a special tune!
A centerpiece in my setup , thx ALex
thankyou for all the support and music. I love your videos! <3
Cool to see more Plinky!
Wow Alex i'm super happy seeing you putting new content. I was one of the first having a Plinky and i will never sell it ! Thanks being a genius.
PlinkyLOVE
I’m sad o discovered this when is out of stock :(
Same
Niemożliwe
Super super super
Great walkthrough, thanks for making this video. Really want to get onne of these, but currently on the waiting list, then I can buy one :)
Plz do 30% bigger version of it. I want to support you .
Are you able to adjust the root note of the scale or is it based in one key?
Anyone selling one? I’m so eager to play this instrument!!

Very well explained, I want one but cant buy one unfortunately as Thonk has stopped all pre-orders since the backlog was getting so bad. Pity. 🤢
This is soooo cool, I've never had any instruments but i'll definetly get one of these
Beautiful
I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED, I will buy two
was on waitlist and it came this morning, built it in an hour or so, been down a rabbit hole most of the day. Lot to learn and a lot of fun. Many thanks for doing this,
Would fit right into a blade runner soundtrack.
omygod I'm crying and thats tears of joy
I can not put what I think in words, but I feel a kind of warmth in my soul from this music. As if a golden autumn is coming in my soul, and the most pleasant memories from this time of the year emerge in my memory
thanks for this comment. it made my day
