Plinky Plinky V3 Polyphonic Touch Synthesizer

Plinky is an 8 voice polyphonic touch synthesiser that specialises in fragile, melancholic sounds. Think of it as an 8 stringed instrument, played by touching the 64 main pads, which are arranged in 8 vertical monophonic strips or strings. You can play Plinky straight away with those 64 main pads. The row of 8 'shift' keys (blue LEDs) along the bottom are used in conjunction with the main pads to select parameters, presets, sequencer patterns, and samples. Each of the 8 strings has: Up to 4 oscillators (pulse, supersaw or wavetable) or sampler grains, detuned by the tiny movements of your finger. A white noise generator an ADSR envelope controlling... ...a resonant 2-pole low-pass gate. a secondary ADSR envelope with repeat. Distortion / saturation Plinky supports 4 external CV modulation sources, called A B X Y, each with its own LFO. A & B also have dedicated physical offset knobs, located to the left of the screen. When changing parameters you can use the endless encoder to the right of the screen to fine tune the parameter settings. Clicking the encoder also resets the current parameter. Plinky also has global delay, reverb, high pass filter, limiter and saturation units along with a simple mixer (for audio inputs), arpeggiator, sequencer and sampler.
