This is the DIY Desktop version of this unit, but it can also used as an Eurorack module. 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. Each of the eight strings has 4 oscillators or sampler grains, detuned by the touch of your fingers, white noise, two ADSR envelopes and a resonant 2-pole low-pass gate. Plinky also has a global delay, reverb, high pass filter and saturation along with a simple mixer, arpeggiator, sequencer and sampler. It supports four external CV modulation sources, each with their own LFO.Plinky was released in 2021, then hit hard by the chip crisis. In coordination with Plinky’s creator mmalex, Making Sound Machines are bringing back Plinky both as assembled unit and as a beginner-friendly DIY Kit.Plinky v3 integrates TRS MIDI input and output directly on-board, so you sequence polyphonic chords externally and play a melodic line on top on its touch surface.The revision also upgrades to USB-C, optimizes the build experience, and introduces improvements to the audio path.Works as standalone unit with USB-C power or Eurorack power cable. DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder.

Plinky & Crey - Bib, Buzzrito & Blueberry

Meet Bib, Buzzrito, and Blueberry – three playful and powerful Plinky-inspired modules that bring rich sound design and expressive touch control to your Eurorack setup. Designed by Alex Evans (creator of Plinky) and Ray Yokell (CrazyEmperor893 of The Crey Emporium), these unique characters break out Plinky’s sensitivity into three specialized creatures: Bib, a stereo effect chain with drive, delay, and lush reverb; Buzzrito, a lively swarm oscillator with 2D touch control and CV-morphing presets; and Blueberry, a generative touch sequencer that responds to pressure and gesture with pitch and gate outputs. Each module stands strong on its own, but they shine even brighter together, combining tactile control and rich stereo sound.Features:Bib• Stereo drive, delay, and reverb effects with touch-based page selection• Real-time modulation via pressure-sensitive interface• CV input assignable to any parameter using tap-and-turn gesture• Rear TRS stereo I/O header (Intellijel-compatible) for line or headphone outputBuzzrito• Stereo swarm oscillator with 2D touchplate for preset morphing• Seven built-in presets with XY CV control and looping gesture recording• V/Oct and Gate inputs for easy integration into any Eurorack voice chainBlueberry• Generative touch sequencer with 5 pressure-sensitive pads• Record and play up to 5 pitch patterns with individual tunings• CV control for transposition, memory selection, clocking, and scrub• Clocked mode with expressive step sequencing and preserved dynamicsDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1.
