Plonk​ ​Manual​​ ​​

v1.01 

 

 

 

Plonk

 

can

 

change

 

completely

 

from

 

note-to-note

 

(or

 

strike-to-strike).

 

Because

 

of

 

this,

 

Plonk

 

is 

actually

 

a

 

duophonic

 

(2-voice)

 

module,

 

which

 

lets

 

the

 

sound

 

of

 

one

 

note

 

decay

 

naturally

 

when

 

second

 

note

 

(possibly

 

employing

 

an

 

entirely

 

different

 

set

 

of

 

modelling

 

values)

 

is

 

struck.

 

Thus, 

hitting

 

a

 

new

 

note

 

does

 

not

 

choke

 

the

 

sound

 

of

 

the

 

previously

 

struck

 

note

 

(unless

 

you

 

want

 

it

 

to, 

of

 

course)! 

Plonk

 

stores

 

up

 

to

 

128

 

patches

 

in

 

its

 

internal

 

memory,

 

and

 

ships

 

with

 

many

 

presets 

programmed

 

by

 

professional

 

sound

 

designers

 

and

 

composers.

 

You

 

may

 

overwrite

 

these 

patches

 

if

 

you

 

wish,

 

and

 

banks

 

of

 

patches

 

may

 

be

 

transferred

 

via

 

MIDI

 

System

 

Exclusive

 

over 

Plonk’s

 

built-in

 

mini-USB

 

port

 

to

 

facilitate

 

offline

 

storage

 

by

 

programs

 

or

 

websites

 

that

 

support 

this

 

capability. 

Plonk

 

was

 

developed

 

in

 

cooperation

 

with

 

Montreal-based

 

​​

Applied

 

Acoustics

 

Systems

 

— 

physical

 

modelling

 

pioneers,

 

and

 

the

 

creators

 

of

 

Tassman,

 

Lounge

 

Lizard,

 

String

 

Studio,

 

Ultra 

Analog,

 

Chromaphone

 

and

 

numerous

 

other

 

plugins.

 

It

 

is

 

with

 

great

 

pleasure

 

that

 

Intellijel

 

brings 

the

 

potential

 

of

 

this

 

physical

 

modelling

 

technology

 

to

 

a

 

hands-on,

 

CV-laden

 

device

 

capable

 

of 

the

 

sort

 

of

 

dynamic

 

control

 

and

 

sonic

 

exploration

 

that

 

modular

 

synthesists

 

demand. 

Features

 

Two-voice

 

polyphonic. 

128

 

preset

 

slots. 

Presets

 

transferrable

 

over

 

embedded

 

USB-MIDI

 

interface. 

48

 

kHz

 

processing

 

rate. 

Firmware

 

updatable
