Intellijel Designs Plonk

MUSICAL FEATURES

Plonk is aimed for the sound generation that is パーカッシブ which even a pace signal of 1V/Oct can control in the voice module which modeled the pronunciation mechanism of the straight musical instrument. It was developed by collaboration with Applied Acoustic Systems which released physical modeling-based plug in including Chromaphone quickly.

Model in a process beating quality to lead to the pronunciation with the physical modeling synthesizers such as PlonkExciter) and model of the process that an object vibrates afterwards and becomes the pedal point, and dampsレゾネーターI put two of) together and set a tone.
The exciter has mallet and two kinds of types called the noise. レゾネーター has the types such as a beam, a marimba, a drumhead, a film, a board, the string. Each model of exciter and レゾネーター has a lot of parameters that I can coordinate and can non-create various percussions sounds to the existing real sound from the existing real sound. For example, it is a kick, タム, cymbals, crap, traditional straight drum sounds such as the conga, a vibraphone, a marimba, the sound with the intervals such as guitars and the electronic percussion sound which is different from it at all.

Because a tone makes a dynamic sound to change with time, Plonk reacts to modulation input including the velocity dynamically. It is easy to make a totally different tone whenever triggered. PlonkデュオフォニックBecause I can let you pronounce it until the sound of で two at the same time, even in the case of the tone that the second sound is totally different from the first sound, an original tone continues changing into the first sound regardless of the second sound.

Plonk of 128 can memorize pre-seting it, and there is many it, pre-seting it is included at the time of the shipment (can overwrite in a user). A computer can store a patch by MIDI SysEx through the back Universal Serial Bus port.I can control pre-seting it in CVです. In addition, the orchid lump is of the parameter by the trigger, the morphing by CV are possible, too. The X,Y,Mod control can assign almost all synthesizer cis parameters.

Interface

Parameters

Every exciter and レゾネーター have a setting parameter in Plonk. Exciter button, the parameter of レゾネーター choose Object button with push, an encoder, and, please set the parameter of the exciter.
 

Parameter of the exciter

• Mallet/Noise Mix: I control mallet in an exciter and the ratio of noise
• Mallet Stiffness: I control hardness of the mallet. It becomes the sound that is クリッキー so as to be obstinate
• Noise Density: I control the pitch of the sound of the noise
• Noise Lowpass/Highpass Cuttoff/Q: I control a cut-off and the resonance of a low pass and the high-pass filter that a noise requires
• Noise Attack/Decay/Envelope Type: I regulate an attack and the D Kay of the envelope of the noise to use as an exciter, a type. The type is available from AR and AHR type.

 

Parameter of レゾネーター (Object)

• Resonator Type: I set a type of レゾネーター. I choose it among String, Beam, Marimba, Drumhead, Membrane, Plate.
• Resonator Decay: I set D Kay time of レゾネーター
• Resonator Low Cut: I set frequency to perform low-frequency cut of レゾネーター
• Resonator Position: I set it which part of レゾネーター an exciter beats. Constitution of the frequency of レゾネーター in this way changes. The setting that an edge criticizes towards 0, the middle becomes 127
• Resonator Tone: Every frequency of レゾネーター changes D Kay of (パーシャル). This supports that material of レゾネーター changes
• Resonator Inharmonicity: I change frequency included in レゾネーター. Frequency nears a fundamental tone if small, and each several ken of cycles open if a value is big.
• Resonator Pitch Envelope Amount: I can regulate the strength of the envelope which I can hang in the pitch of レゾネーター with -64 (-1 octave) - 63 (octave)
• Resonator Pitch Envelope Time: I adjust the time of the envelope which I can hang in the pitch of レゾネーター
• Polyphony: I am set like モノフォニックシンセ, and 1 sound eyes do not sound when they set it to 1 when 2 sound eyes are triggered when 1 sound eyes sound. I can let it becomes デュオフォニック and pronounce it until two sounds at the same time when I set it to 2. Even in the case of the tone that is totally different from the first sound in the second sound, as for the first sound, an original tone continues changing regardless of the second sound.

List of special parameters that I can assign by Mod input

By the Mod input, I can assign the following parameters other than a parameter of exciter and レゾネーター mentioned above, too.

 

• It is King super: While gate ON is input into MOD input, a sound in front does not sound while a new sound sounds when the second exciter is triggered (it becomes the banging such as モノフォニック). The choked sound is available from レゾネーター, noise exciter, both
• Preset Step: I call was appointed by the voltage of the Mod input, pre-seting it and sound it whenever I receive trigger. In the case of setting, the range of I call, pre-seting it pushes the encoder and appoints pre-seting it in the range of A - B by appointing A and B by indication of Pst A:B. (A to pre-set at 0V, B to pre-set at +-5V, the middle voltage pre-set the meantime)
• Randomize: ) which is orchid lump is possibility just to push the encoder when I choose (Randomize changing exciter and all the parameters of the object at random when I receive trigger in Mod
• Morph: I can change between I appointed, pre-seting it with pre-seting it at the present smoothly by MOD CV when I choose Morph among Mod. Maufe can choose former, pre-seting it by pushing the encoder when I choose Morph.
  ※The type of レゾネーター cannot change smoothly.

Item to set from Config button

The items which I can set from Config menu are as follows.

• Gain: I coordinate the gain of an output sound
• Vel: I set behavior of the velocity input.AccentSetting to attach an accent when a gate is in は Vel, and to pronounce,DynamicsI control the strength of the exciter by the voltage to は Vel progressively.Volumeは merely uses Vel input for volume control of the output.
• Init Preset: I return a parameter of pre-seting it of the present to initial state
• Send Presets: I transmit pre-seting it through USB-MIDI. I connect to the computer by USB at the same time to tie Plonk to the euro rack power supply and I stand and give the software that Laser Mammoth, SysEx, SysEx transfer such as MIDI-OX are possible. The transmission to a computer of pre-seting it is possible if I push the encoder. When I send pre-seting it to Plonk from a computer, I can send pre-seting it using the SysEx transmission from the software of the errand.

DEMO

Firmware Update

The procedures of the firmware update are as follows.

1. I drop the power supply of the module
2. I connect a USB cable to a computer from the module back.
3. IntellijelのPageI open up the updater that downloaded から, and a choice does a module and a version from a drop-down.
4. I spend the power supply of the module again while pushing the button of the module back
5. The retainer of the updater has itUpdateA progress bar begins when I push the button and is the update end if a message called "Update completed successfully" is displayed last
6. I work in new firmware if I reboot a modular
