Plan B Drummers
YouTube via bigcitymusic http://bigcitymusic.com/
" Plan B offers some alternative modules to your everyday "East Coast" style modules. In this patch we're using a multitude of different modules, including some Cwejman and Analogue Systems. The heart of this patch is the incredible sounding Model 13 Dual Timbral Gate. The M13 is in fact a low pass gate which is basically a cross between a low pass filter and a VCA. This is what gives us the beautiful, drum-like decay to the random pulses. The actual envelope is super short but the vactrols in the circuit ring longer. We're also using some random voltages in here. The Model 24 Heisenberg Generator is basically a sample and hold module, well, two of them really. The bottom section of the M24 allows you to move to the next random voltage when it receives a trigger or gate pulse. The Plan B Model 15 oscillator and the Cwejman VCO-6 are our sounds sources, each having it's frequency modulated at a high rate. This is what gives you the hand slapping sound that a typical hand drum would have. The Plan B Model 17 is also being used to great effect. The Triple Event Timer senses how hight the voltages coming in are. There are three pots to set the threshold, deciding when a pulse is allowed through. We're get more into that later.
Looking for some different sounds? Check out some Plan B stuff."

ReplyDeleteThere are guys on the Muffwiggler forum who have been waiting more than a year for Plan B modules they paid for or sent for repair.
ReplyDeleteDon't buy one of these modules unless you know its physically built and in stock. Also understand if you have to get it repaired you might want to try your chances throwing it in a black hole.
ReplyDeleteLike someone mentioned before, this is the talk of Muff Wigglers. And the situation has been pretty nasty to watch.
Don't get me wrong I love Peter's work as a designer and even as a composer but I hope this shit gets cleared up even if it consists of no longer taking new orders and getting a day job to offset the costs so he can get his pending orders and repairs out of the way.

Hello. We've been trying to help Peter clear up all of the Plan B issues. If you buy a new Plan B module from BCM it will have a one year parts and labor warranty and every single module is thoroughly tested before it ships. This does not include repair if you plug the module in wrong though. For people who have Plan B modules that aren't working they can send them to us for repair at a reasonable rate. Turn around time is usually about 2-3 weeks.
