Explore the dark side of Plinky - 32 free presets by Meska

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- New sounds for your Plinky! This awesome new bank of 32 presets by @Meska_Statik draws focus to the "dark" side of #Plinky, exploring lush delay, cavernous reverb, pitch drift and gnarly saturation.
The bank includes the #preset file, 8 samples and individual links for the browser-based patch editor. It works for all generations of Plinky and is a #free download at plinkysynth.co...
We already gave a little sneak peek of these sounds at @superboothberlin, so for this little snippet we broke our #Superbooth setup back out to give you a little musical demo showcasing one of the sounds, Preset 4: Footstep. We recorded a couple of clips showing one sound each in musical context, as a companion to Meska's overview of all sounds at • My 32 presets for Plinky
In this patch, Plinky plays back a recorded sequence and is synched via MIDI clock to our Stolperbeats drum trigger sequencer for Eurorack. Enrica plays the touch surface to insert individual notes into the arpeggio, and tweaks the A knob to adjust sensitivity on the touch grid to get a grittier sound.
Plinky's pitch CV drives a @Befacosynth evenVCO through their clever A*B+C VCA for a warm, subdued bassline.
The drum sounds from the GRRL x Made of Oak Configuration sample pack on @splice - check out their EP GXM Inertia, and the 10 year @sylvanesso anniversary release for some amazing music.
The samples are played using the Samples II module by @soundforce_nicolas and processed through our Farbshaper and Farbhighpass modules. The shaper adds some extra dirt, the transistor ladder highpass is used with the kick envelope to get a ducking effect by modulating its cutoff.
The metering tool at the top right is the incredibly clever and beautiful @vaskiembedded 2HP Lights Stereo Visualizer #audio #visualisation module, engineered by our friend Lauri. The Eurorack case itself is a beautifully crafted FenixIV case made by our friends @thisisnotrocketscience3942 from Amsterdam.
Plinky is an #expressive #polyphonic #touch #synthesizer, designed by mmalex and available as a #DIY kit from @ThonkSynthDIY

its like a new chapter in plinky! thankyou meska & msm!
;)
Thank you for making such an awesome, inspiring instrument! It's like a little black rectangle of joy!
Hey Alex nice to see that you guys continue to produce this amazing module. For me always my favorite in my rack since day 1!!!
I own the V2 I think ( it’s was the first batch builded by LPZW)
Just wanna know the difference between my version and the new one ? Can we update the firmware to have the same or it’s also a brand new electronic module?
Thanks a lot again and you have no idea how your module and Discord plinky discussion saved my mind during pandemic though time !!!
Vive Plinky et vive Alex Evans 🙏
@@manublond118 Allow me to jump in and answer some of your questions -
Firmware as well as Presets are compatible between all versions of Plinky so far, V1, 2 and 3. Find Firmware, presets and install instructions here - plinkysynth.com/
Upgrades from V2 to V3 in a nutshell:
- USB-C jacks
- TRS midi is now on Plinky itself, before it only used to be on the Expander
- Updates to the build process (build is easier, screen can be plug and play replaced)
- improved audio path
I think with a V2 plinky you are golden, the big update is the onboard MIDI, but USB (client) MIDI works on all versions. If you do an update, make sure you only power from one of the USB _or_ Europower at any time, not multiple at once.
I'm loving it - raw, real, alive. I also definitely want to have a Plinky one day.
Hey thank you! yeah I love that it's possible to perform and record a little piece like this in one take! More fun than putting it together in ableton and drawing automation for sure (done a fair share of that in the past as well).
What I love about Plinky is that you don't need much else to make it sing.
Yeah it's really fun to play! It's worth checking out the presets, they do some great tricks with feedback - or if you want to build your own, check out Meskas build from scratch patches in the play guide! plinkysynth.com/docs/play-guide
That's one good looking rack, and it sounds amazing.
Thank you!
Lorn vibes. Sounds great!
Oh thank you! Just had a quick listen and I really dig it! What are your favourite Lorn tracks / what's your favourite album?
@@MakingSoundMachines I'm super into the album A/D right now. A little more ambient and chill than his other stuff. I'm digging into his sound design process. It's inspiring...and overwhelming. These Meska presets would be a huge shortcut, though it's probably worth learning to do it for myself.
@@NickVu Awesome will check that one out! If you are curious about the sound design, Meska published a walkthrough of the 32 presets here ruclips.net/video/zXjph5cix2g/видео.html - and also patch breakdowns for a couple of sounds, you can find those collected here plinkysynth.com/docs/play-guide
The patch from scratch type breakdowns could help you recreate some of the sounds in a DAW - you'd need a flexible Delay / Verb and a crunchy saturation to approximate some of the sounds.
I can has this sound too? Noice!! Love this tune 🖤
Yes! you need a Plinky, but the presets are free here: plinkysynth.com/presets/
@@MakingSoundMachines Yes I understood! I have a Plinky! Thanks for sharing!
