Plonk Manual
v1.01
Morph
With
Mod
Destination
set
to
“Morph,”
Plonk
uses
the
MOD
input
CV
to
morph
between
the
Exciter
and
Object
settings
of
the
current
preset
and
a
destination
preset
you
select
with
the
encoder
knob.
Specifically:
1. On
the
Mod
Destination
screen,
rotate
the
encoder
to
select
“Morph,”
then
click
the
encoder.
A
number
will
appear
to
the
right
of
the
word,
“Morph.”
2. Click
the
encoder
again
to
highlight
the
number.
3. Rotate
the
encoder
to
select
the
patch
number
you
want
to
Morph
into,
then
press
the
encoder
again.
Now,
any
CV
received
at
the
MOD
input
will
morph
between
the
values
of
the
currently
loaded
preset
and
the
one
you
just
selected
in
the
Mod
Destination
menu.
NOTE:
Plonk
does
not
morph
between
resonator
types.
So
the
loaded
preset’s
resonator
type
(String,
Beam,
Marimba,
etc.)
is
used
regardless
of
the
resonator
type
assigned
to
the
destination
preset.
However,
all
other
resonator
and
exciter
parameters
do
morph.
CONFIG
Settings
Gain
Adjusts
the
overall
gain
of
the
current
patch
from
-20
dB
to
+12
dB.
This
can
be
used
to
account
for
variances
in
volume
of
different
patches
due
to
their
synthesis
parameters.
VEL
Mode
Sets
the
behaviour
of
the
VEL
input.
There
are
three
settings:
●
accent
-
This
is
the
default
setting.
In
this
mode
the
note
played
will
be
accented
whenever
a
gate
signal
is
present
at
the
VEL
input.
If
no
cable
is
plugged
into
the
input,
all
notes
will
be
accented.
● dynamics
-
In
this
mode
the
strength
of
the
exciter
is
proportional
to
the
voltage
at
the
VEL
input.
This
is
useful
for
directly
articulating
the
strength
of
the
notes
with
the
velocity
output
of
a
MIDI-CV
converter
or
a
sequencer
track.
● volume
-
In
this
mode
the
voltage
at
the
VEL
input
directly
controls
the
final
output
level
of
the
synthesizer.
This
is
best
suited
for
volume
effects
like
tremolo,
fade-in/fade-out,
and
other
envelope
effects.
