Hello hello,

it's a pleasure to present to you the new range of 3 expressive, powerful and deeply musical instruments in the Plinky 12 range - Chords, Blocks and Toadstep! From the mmalex and Making Sound Machines Plinky team alongwith our community member Izaak of Toadstool Tech! (Chords is Making Sounds Machines design and Toadstep is Toadstool Tech).

There's lots to go at with these but as we've decided to a last minute premiere hangout I'm going to just post this now and then I'll edit this post after the premiere, so feel free to come back for more info later.

JOIN US HERE - https://youtu.be/KBkhu-4JbQM - at 3pm UK (today) which is just over 10 minutes away.

See you in the premiere hangout and/or the Discord space very soon!

EDIT

So back with the edit post video premiere hangout - thanks to everyone that joined if you happen to see this, that was a good time!

So a bit more about these. Plinky 12 is a new platform in the Plinky line up which to this point has the standalone and Eurorack compatible OG Plinky platform, the extended connectivity and bigger Plinky + and now these 3 Plinky 12 instruments.

You have Blocks, which is closest to the original Plinky in this form, but then Chords and Toadstep are like whole other new instruments on the platform, they're not just tweaks or variations over the classic/Blocks experience.

Toadstep is inspired by the RYK M185 and derivatives like Metropolis with 4 track sequencing that drives an internal polyphonic synth engine, all 4 tracks via MIDI and 2 CV and 2 gate outputs. It's KILLER in front of Eurorack rig letting you gain back HP on sequencing and making this sort of more complex / feature rich sequencer much more playable due to much larger surface.

Chords is then Making Sound Machines create a really rich musical experience for exploring chords and harmony. Much like how they went deep into wonky off-kilter rhythms and Stolperbeats, this is years of musical background experience distilled into something that rewards all experiences with harmony from just blind inexperienced play to letting those into music theory engage with it in interesting ways too. Knowing anything about Chords is in no way a requirement, both the OG DivBaby and DivBaby the second (my kids) had a great time playing things that made Mrs Div come into the studio and ask if it was me playing or the kids. Win win (they can do my job someday, they can just drive it from Chords!)

I wanted to give a bit more info here for those that land on this after the premiere, thanks as always for the support and see you in the Discord.

p.s. The Plinky 12's are releasing in the summer, we're talking about deeper dive videos for Toadstep and Chords so leave questions on the video to help inform them and you can also check them out at Superbooth.

p.p.s You can also just buy one Plinky 12 and then get the other panels to swap out which instrument you have, that's in the video and a lovely way to have more than 1 of them.
