Please could you think about a Plonk XL which would feature 2 x Triggers, split mode , infinate decay on drums so you can ptoduce drones etc and sd card for loading samples.
Cheers Rob
Not to take away from the Plonk XL idea, but a couple of things are worth mentioning:
- It’s possible to do drones with Plonk if you set the Noise Envelope mode to AHR, set Ratio to full Noise, and send a steady gate or +5V signal to the TRIG input. Or if you want to use the mallet you could just use an audio rate pulse wave to the TRIG input.
- Samples? Plonk does not use samples as it is a physical modelling synth so if it was to load samples it would be a completely new thing.
ok please excuse my lack of knowledge and experience…I will take your suggestions to my setup and have a play!!! You gotta admit the split mode would be nice and two triggers…would certainly give people with the 4u setup a lot more options…dont get me wrong I think plonk is a 100% stayer in my setup and it sounds incredible…thankyou Intellijel!
No worries Rob! I just remembered I actually demonstrated using that technique to make Plonk drones briefly in the Plonk firmware update video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTmmsjrXg3Q
You can see it if you skip ahead to 1:10
In my opinion if we were going to make a Plonk XL it might as well be 4 voice polyphonic!

Yeah definately but i still think two trigger inputs split mode would be amazing! Thankyou for the link i will go check it out 
Two triggers would be nice, but in the meantime, you have to get good with the cv preset switching. It’s fairly easy to knock up a complete drum pattern with just triggers and creative cv patterns.
