Plinky 12 Chords // fading light after a rainstorm

video upload by Dexba

"God, this instrument is beautiful.
Beautiful to look at, beautiful to play, beautiful to program, beautifully sounding and showing on camera.
Powered via usb-c, expandable memory, lots of connectivity, clear interface (yeah, hard to believe, innit?), delay and reverb so cheekily good that I don’t feel the need to attach it to pedals that would cost at least as much as the instrument.
I’m in love, join me for a snippet of what I programmed (played?) and has been running as my soundtrack for one of those bright but grey autumn afternoons where the sky looks like a volcano just erupted."

The Plinky 12 Toadstep Is an Absolute Jam Machine

video upload by The Unperson

"Plinky 12 is a unique touch-based synthesizer designed by mmalex and Making Sound Machines, built around a powerful synth engine that can take on different forms through interchangeable faceplates and alternative firmwares. This means the same underlying hardware can become a very different instrument depending on which version you're using.

In this video, I'm exploring the Plinky 12 Toadstep, a version developed in collaboration with Toadstool Tech that transforms Plinky 12 into a multi-track sequencer and performance instrument. I'll take a look at how Toadstep works, explore its sequencing and sound-shaping capabilities, and put together some jams to see what this unusual instrument can do.

I really hope you get a feel for the workflow and immediacy of the device. It has such a fun interface, and once you’re comfortable with the setup, it becomes incredibly intuitive, with a perfect blend of intentionality and discovery."

Plinky 12 Toadstep – Full Overview and Demo

video upload by Nathan Plante Synths

"I had way too much fun exploring the synth – its so easy to make interesting patterns and just as easy to tweak them and mangle them. The sampler is quite impressive and lets you turn just about any sound into a synth voice. ToadstoolTech and mmalex have packed so many tweakable features into this new instrument, it was hard to fit it all in to one video. Happy plinking!"
