Polyphonic touch synthesizer#
Plinky is an 8 voice expressive polyphonic touch synthesizer that specializes in fragile, melancholic sounds, designed by mmalex.
Think of it as an eight stringed instrument, with eight vertical monophonic strips. You can play it straight away on its 64 main pads.
Plinky comes in two variations.
Plinky#
The original Plinky is designed to work as both a small desktop synth or, if you remove its back panel, a 24 HP Eurorack module.
The jacks at both sides are Eurorack compatible. A 2HP Expander adds extra CV outputs and frontside TRS MIDI and USB.
