Description: Only used in smoke-free home studio. ~~ MUTABLE INSTRUMENTS PLAITSMutable Instruments Plaits is a multi-algorithm macro oscillator that provides everything from FM to speech synthesis, analog percussion emulation, wavetables, modal synthesis, granular synthesis...whoa, this module does basically everything. Expanding on Braids's strong points and eliminating its pitfalls, Émilie Gillet's Plaits is a perfect bonding of tremendous flexibility and an intuitive user interface.Built from the ground up and sharing no code or hardware with Braids, Plaits borrows concepts from its predecessor while operating at considerably higher audio resolution and with a refined means of user interaction. For one, it dispenses with that pesky screen to offer even more tactility and immediacy. Additionally, Plaits features a dedicated CV input for the model parameter, easy access to the module’s internal envelopes for modulation of vital parameters, and an integrated lowpass gate with definable filtering intensity and virtual vactrol response time.Offering a broad survey of synthesis techniques, Plaits promises a vast sonic palette that could find a home in any modular synthesizer setup. Ideal for beginners and modular synth gurus alike, Plaits is an obvious choice for anyone who wants a lot of functionality in a small space and with a modest price tag.PLAITS FEATURES8 Pitched Synthesis ModelsTwo virtual analog models for continuously-variable waveformsTriangle-core oscillator with variable slope routed through a waveshaper and wavefolderFM with variable feedback path2 separate formants and a variable shape window modulator for VOSIM style filter sweepsAdditive oscillator (24-harmonic)Wavetable oscillator (8x8 waves arranged across 4 banks)Chord generator (wavetables or string/organ emulation)Speech algorithms (formant, SAM, LPC), with banks of phonemes8 Noise and Percussion Synthesis ModelsGranular sawtooth or sine oscillator (each with variable gain density and frequency randomization)Clocked noise routed through a resonant filter8 layer dust/particle noise routed through either resonant or all-pass filtersKarplus-Strong ("Red Mode" in Rings) with either white noise or dust excitationModal resonator ("Green Mode" in Rings) with mallet or dust excitationAnalog kick emulatorAnalog snare emulatorAnalog hi-hat emulatorI/O and Control2 selection buttons with tactile LED visual displayPrimary frequency controls (8 octave range)Harmonics timbre and morph timbre dimensionsAttenuverters for frequency, morph, amd timbre CV inputsPrimary 1V/Oct input with -3V to +7V input rangeTrigger input for internal decay envelope or drum exciterLevel CV input for internal LPG or accent control for drum models
