Introducing Plinky 12 Blocks, Chords and Toadstep

video upload by Making Sound Machines

Additional videos below.

"We are super excited to introduce 3 new instruments today! Plinky 12 is a family of expressive polyphonic touch synthesizers. The three instruments are built around a shared synth engine. Designed by mmalex, it evokes the unmistakable melancholic sounds of the original Plinky. https://plinky12.com

Each instrument is designed in collaboration with a different synth maker, lending each panel a distinct playability and unique character.

Plinky 12 Chords is a harmonic inspiration machine. It lets you improvise melodies and chords, with expressive control over voicings, progressions, and immediate musical play. Created by Making Sound Machines, Chords is the panel for finding beautiful harmonic movement quickly.

Plinky 12 Toadstep is a 4-track step sequencer built for super funky riffs, experimental self-generative melodies, and good ol' Acid. Created by Toadstool Tech, the designer behind the Ectocore Eurorack module, Toadstep is fun, immediate and easy to jam with!

Plinky 12 Blocks is an open panel built for experimentation, with monome-grid compatibility, Plinky style touch synthesis, and a browser-based coding environment just a click away. While it comes with a fully playable design out of the gate, creator mmalex invites you to build your own adventure with this panel. If you can imagine it, you can make it!

In this video, Enrica and Roland from Making Sound Machines explore the three new Plinky 12 instruments: Blocks, Chords and Toadstep from left to right.

The track builds on a repeating loop created with the built-in sequencer on Plinky 12 Toadstep. The short sequence uses rhythmic step repeats, track step length and animated synth parameters to create an ostinato that keeps sonically evolving over the length of the track.

As the piece continues, Roland plays a progression of harmonies from the rainbow chord palette on Plinky 12 Chords, before launching a sequence that reharmonizes the loop heard from Toadstep. Enrica joins in playing sparkling arpeggios with her fingertips on Plinky 12 Blocks, the surface with the sunset colour-fade print.

As the track progresses, Roland plays a melodic line on Chords, then Enrica takes over with a melody on blocks. The Plinky 12 polyphonic play surface reads both play position and pressure of the touch. It enables bends and glides on the horizontal axis, while allowing for discrete arps in the vertical direction.

They end the piece with a tempo transition showcasing the septuplet feature on the internal sequencer."

video upload by DivKid

Also see Turing Machine, Workshop System & Planet of the Apes! // Music Thing Modular at Machina Bristronica

"Seeing the Music Thing Workshop System grow and develop over recent years have been a lovely thing and it made me happy to see part of it getting broken out into a Eurorack module and for that part to be the Workshop Computer. It's an 8HP Eurorack module that works as digital toolbox for audio and CV which offers all sorts of handy low level utility things, more exciting audio and CV generation and a range of more lo fi and hi fi audio FX.

Along with the release of the module are 3 new program cards from RYK, offering pitch shifting delay, vocoding, pitch to voltage and tape style recording and looping. You also get some default Music Thing cards and there's blank cards with a huge range of simple drag and drop a file over USB options for a range of community cards you can get for free too. Check out the links below, loads of info in the timing index to skip around. Enjoy!"

11/12/25 Roland (RYK) System 100m & RE-301 + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Paia 6740 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"The left RYK Modular 185 sequencer is gating the right RYK 185. The right RYK 185 CV output controls the pitch of the left Roland 110 VCO and modulates the right 110 VCA. The 140 lower envelope controls the left 110 VCA. The upper 140 envelope controls the right 110 VCA. The left RYK 185 gate output is modulating the 140 LFO, and that LFO is modulating the left 110 filter and the right 110 VCO slightly. The 150 LFO is modulating the right 110 filter and the left 110 VCA. The left 110 audio output goes to the Roland RE-301 for tape echo, with the intensity set at the threshold of feeding back, and that signal is panned left on the Mackie Onyx 1640, with spring reverb from the Paia 6740, stereo reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II (preset 27), and a larger stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978. The right 110 audio output goes to the Peavey 1300 delay and is panned center on the Mackie, with the same three reverbs."

6/16/25 Roland (RYK, E-licktronic) System 100m + Peavey 1300 + DeltaLab Effectron II + MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"Haven’t been using the E-licktronic 118a 808 bass drum and snare drum clone lately, so this was a chopping-block patch. We’re going to keep the 118a module in the end, as it’s still the closest thing to a Roland TR-808 around here. This System 100m patch is based around two RYK Modular 185 sequencers. The right 185 is clocked by the left 185’s gate output. The 118a snare is being triggered by that same gate pattern and the snare audio output is running through the DeltaLab Effectron II delay, feedback maxed, panned left. Both 110 VCOs are controlled by two RYK 185 sequencers, and both VCOs pass through the right 110 VCF into the right 110 VCA into the Peavey 1300 delay with plenty of feedback, panned center. The 150 and 140 LFOs are on the 110 filters and modulating the 118a accent in and decay CV. Some reverb (preset 23) from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

Hermod+ and xp32 goes Braindance

video upload by Stazma

"Finaly managed to shoot a proper thing with the amazing Hermod+ & xp32 combo, by Squarp Instruments. Those two together are an incredible powerhouse of sequencing with many sequencing effects usualy only found in DAW. As it's often called a modular brain I went for something proper braindancy in the vein of my Repeat Eater side project (Analord tribute band you said?).
ALL the sequencing is done from Hermod+, as well as some modulations."

"Other modules used:
Rample by Squarp Intruments on the 808 drums (my own CC808 kit you get on Concrete Collage Bandcamp for free).
x2 810 by System80 on bass & lead
Algo by RYK Modular on FM bass / lead
Envy Machine by RYK for ADSR
Befaco Pico VCF on FM Percussions
x2 Mixswitch from Klavis for mixing
Instruo Seashell on arp"

4/27/25 Roland System 100m & SPH 323 + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"4/27/25 RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & SPH 323 Phase Shifter + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

I was going for Burzum low fidelity with the Peavey 1300 overloading and the Ace Tone MP-4 spring reverb feedbacking. Anyways, ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the right RYK Modular 185, which gates one of the Roland 140 envelopes and the left RYK 185, which gates the other envelope. Each 185 modulates the pitch of one Roland 110 VCO and VCF, while the VCFs are also modulated by LFOs from the 140 and 150 modules. The 140 envelopes control the two 110 VCAs, which are mixed on a Roland 132 and sent through the Roland SPH-323 Phase Shifter into the Peavey 1300 delay. The Ace Tone MP-4 is patched into itself for feedback as it further distorts the delayed signal and adds spring reverb."

3/27/25 Roland/RYK/Lana System 100m + Peavey 1310 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"The RYK Modular 185 sequences both Lana 212 VCOs, which are set to different ranges and ring modulated by the Roland 150, which runs through the Roland 121 filter, which gets CV from the RYK 185 and an LFO from the Roland 172. The 121 filter runs through the 172 phase shifter into the Roland 130 VCA. The Lana 212 sub oscillator runs through the left side of the 121 into the 130 VCA, which is controlled by the Roland 140 envelope, driven by the 185. The 130 high output runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, with reverb blended on the Chase Bliss CXM 1978. The 130 low output runs through the Peavey 1310 delay, fully wet, to the Mackie, with CXM 1978."

Envy Machine | Quad Function Generator | By RYK Modular

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Quad function generator? Isn't it a four channel ADSR or LFO or S&H or CV recorder? Indeed it is. But it also provides 'ghost hand recording' on all channels and it's great for cross patching. Sure it's designed for the awesome ALGO and Vector Wave and they make brilliant combos. It's missing the 'end-of-whatever' trigger/gates to make it a true complex function generator but it can surely help to make weird sounds too.

A typical modular case is about 70% or more utilities, so the 12 HP Envy Machine could save you a lot of space and modules. However, it's a utility module so the real magic still needs to come from your VCO."

Live eurorack improvisation with Constellation - RYK Algo - Westlich Performer - Ericasynth LXR Drum

video upload by Flat Round Modular Music

'A Modular improvisation , maybe Electronic Music, with :

Acid Rain Constellation - A powerful drum sequencer based on Euclidean algorithms, eight voices, for infinite rhythm sequences. Very live oriented.

RYK Algo: a digital four operators FM module, eight algorithms , for harsh to smooth melodies. And you can easily use it as a simple four voice module, ideal for chords. Wave folding and shaping inside. Very versatile.

Westlich Performer: Eight tracks CV/ gates with interesting CV modulation sequences, euclidean mode. My choice if I would have only one sequencer. And midi capacities too.

LXR Drum : Digital, yes, but a good way to learn the basics of drum sound synthesis with subtractive and FM synthesis. It can to everything if you need percussion acoustic of digital drums. Seven voices too.

This setup can do almost every style of music.

Have a look."
