Morphor Plectrum: Demo and tutorial of analog Karplus-Strong module


video upload by CatSynth TV

"We explore the Plectrum module from Belgium-based Morphor, and demonstrate all of its features. The Plectrum is an all-analog implementation of the Karplus-Strong algorithm for plucked string sounds. It uses a BBD 'bucket bridge' delay, and a one-pole low-pass filter to create the algorithm's all-important feedback loop. In this demo, we introduce the algorithm and show how the different knobs and CV sources affect aspects of the sound. We also try out the advanced 'loop extender' feature that allows us to add other modules into the feedback loop of the Karplus-Strong system.
