Ploytec PL2 - Synthesizer Review - MIDIVERSE - TV

Published on Jul 28, 2015 MIDI-VERSE TV

"In this episode of MIDIVERSE - TV we're going to take a look at the Ploytec Pi L Squared Synth. First we'll be unboxing the synthesizer and taking a quick listen to some of the preset sounds. Then we'll be heading over to Ploytec's website to download the editor for the PL2 to dive a little deeper into the programming side of things. Next we'll download the free iOS application "Ploytec PL2 Editor" so we can control the synthesizer directly from the touch screen of an iPad. Lastly, we'll quickly show an example in Ableton Live about how the synthesizers parameters can be automated via MIDI CC data in a MIDI clip."

Ploytec PI L Squared Synth - Sound Review I: Sound Examples

Published on Apr 23, 2015 Synth Anatomy

"The Ploytec PI L Squared Synth is a hybrid synthesizer. For this test, I used the the only USB Version of the synthesizer with Midi Out. For using it, you must connected to the computer and download the editor program for Windows or Mac. You have both filters for use. Digital and Analog Filters. You can visually modify your sounds on the editor. Available at many music shops"

Ploytec PI L Square Sound Review II: Random Sounds Jam

Ploytec produces fanciful firmware update for its super-small synthesizers

"SCHOPFHEIM, GERMANY: hardware and software developer Ploytec is proud to introduce its latest (V2.1) firmware update for its πλ2 MIDI- and πλ2 Leukos USB-powered, super-small footprint, software editing-enabled duophonic synthesizers at Musikmesse 2015, January 15-18 in Frankfurt, Germany...

The synth world was, quite frankly, taken aback by something so small sounding so huge when Ploytec’s ‘playful’ πλ2 made its impressive musical debut last year. This MIDI-powered, super-small synthesizer — with a super-small footprint fit for fitting into the smallest spaces — was soon joined by its USB-powered, super-small sibling, πλ2 Leukos, seriously satisfying those with a hardware craving to make music while on the move, wherever their inspiration might (literally) take them — with or without eminently portable laptops or an Apple iPad — with Camera Connection Kit — in tow (though these are always helpful to have at hand to power πλ2 Leukos, of course). Without wishing to sound silly, surely it’s impossible not to be impressed? It’s a knockout concept, after all!

As implied by their shared PI L Squared alternative appellation, πλ2 and πλ2 Leukos generally stick to the principals of subtractive synthesis, whereby the working waveform — bred by two square wave (pulse) oscillators — then travels through an adjustable — lowpass, high-pass, and bandpass — digital filter stage to transform the frequency spectrum and/or raise resonance, if desired. Digital filtering duly dispensed, an additional analogue lowpass filter follows forthwith. Destructive, digital-like tones balanced by all-the-rage analogue warmth are available at the press of a key. Could there be more? More than likely. Moreover, in fact, an analogue saturation stage at the output offers dynamic compression, adding a respectable bass punch to the proceedings — perfect for those that need to make some Boom! shake-shake-shake the room-style noise!

But beneath those tiny black (πλ2) and white (πλ2 Leukos) square-shaped exteriors — living in perfect harmony with Ploytec’s PI L Squared alternative appellation — lie a wonderful world of options for further sound-sculpting and manipulative performance possibilities, like LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) modulation, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope, plus play modes to make music performance more playful, whatever your musical leanings — LFO and envelope speed synchronise automatically to an external MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) clock, whereby both πλ2 and πλ2"

"The 'Leukos' (λευκός - white one) is a πλ², but it's played via USB MIDI from a PC, Mac or iPad. The MIDI Out (!) on the Leukos can be used to feed an original πλ² (black one) or any other synthesizer."

πλ² Ploytec PL2 - PL02.56 (SP0256-AL2 tribute) Firmware explained

Published on Sep 14, 2014 Ploytec

"This video not only shows how we did the PL02.56 (SP0256-AL2 tribute) firmware demo song, but also introduces ways to build robot (synthesizer) speech using allophones and using it as an instrument.

Markus designs the bassdrum and snare part on πλ² firmware V2.0 and later demonstrates the different PL02.56 FW playmodes on his Yamaha DX1 and Roland A300pro master keyboards, using Steinberg Cubase."



"All sounds are generated on the Ploytec πλ² PL02.56 firmware (including "synth beatbox" percussion), except for BD/SN/HH using πλ² FW2.0. No effects, except for EQ, compression and a very very tiny bit of reverb.
