I'm shocked that kick is coming from the Derphinger. Not that I need that sort of kick but tickle me impressed. Outro was excellent as usual. Such a simple setup with an amazing varied range. Kudos to you, great job, fun happy times!!!
The final jam was super cool.. had to double check if i am still watching a tutorial on plats dx7 or i has switched to some unrelease thom yorke track hah, well done, as always
Have really enjoyed these Plaits videos, but also how you can do so much with just a handful of modules. It's inspired me to try patching things differently, rather than an fx or reverb per voice, but grouping everything and running through a daisy chain of effects has been really fun and inspiring! Thank you for your videos, long may they continue!
Oh man, I just restructured my rack and excluded the Plaits because I don't really like the sounds on it, now you show me that I can load my own sounds... I need a bigger rack!
The FM engine in Plaits plays DX7 sysex patches so it's literally identical to playing a DX7. The Volca FM2 also uses the same DX7 patches so all three should sound identical :)
Question about the editor: If I want to replace just a FEW sounds of a bank, I understand it will create a new WAV file to load them all up, but does it just keep the stock ones in the slots I didn't touch? If not, is there a place to get the .sysx files of the individual stock sounds? Looking forward to some 6OP FM sounds on my plaits!
yeah I had to switch computers to get the firmware upgrade. not seamless. So I’m with you on the patch replacements. I will test on a clone I bought for this purpose prior to messaging with my Mutable..
I am curious why the power supply module? I have the nifty case and a few of the same modules. Is there a reason you don't use the power supply built into the nifty case?
Very cool 😎 man. I have installed the new firmware but I can't make the new octaves - through the freq pot - feature to work. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
That's amazing, thanks. I'll be loading this into plaits tonight😅 I'm very curious as to what is maths doing in this patch. As far as I can tell you're sending it the CV channel from the keystep (aftertouch or mod wheel?) And then it's triggering the other channel? But what do they do?
I’m using maths to shape the gate coming from the keystep, going to the trig in. For some reason the key triggers can overlap and go out of tune, and shortening the gate with an envelope fixes that. I read on a forum that it only happens with keysteps but I haven’t tried any other controllers to test that theory :)
@@Lcrymlgy it seems to be going to different places in the different patches. Sometimes going to the cutoff of the dual dagger, or other times modulating parameters in Plaits, and sometimes it's not doing anything :)
5:07 you said morph input and I see "must be played in Plait's TIMBRE input" and then you connect it to the timbre imput :p so, not morph ! and nice jams btw ;)
Well this Knit-twit is so impressed i’m now also a Bee-keeper✌️🫡 And look out cause you’re doing YT so well that you are launching a massive following.
I’m glad your precious series made me pull the trigger on one of the last available Plaits.
Now it’s even better than I thought it would be.
Cheers man! And yea it seems like they're not avilable anymore. I saw a 2nd hand one going for 350!
@@TheUnperson some of the nicer looking built clones already cost the same as the original. Crazy.
Just bought myself a Plaits, possibly the last one in the UK. But turns out my very lovely wife has also bough me one for Xmas so now I have 2 !
Congrats on the Plaits and the amazing wife!! ☺️
Thanks for sharing! I did not try the DX-7 patch sys-ex yet, but now I definitely will fill my Plaits with the sounds you kicked out :).
Thank you! Did you give it a shot yet?
Such a gift this was. ❤
😍 Jam 3 ! ! ! You make it all sound so deelish. Thank you for sharing all the patch details and "whys" behind the modulation moves.
Thank you for all the lovely comments - definitely keeps me making more content :D
Thanks for this DX7 demo ! Great singing at the end ! ;) Cheers and have a good time for christmas !
Cheers man! And happy new year ☺️

You can always at the very least trust Mr. B to make an acceptable copy of something that already exists
Thank you! And yea they nailed the kick for sure!

Deffo Thom Yorke vibes at the end their I agree!
Haha thank you! That’s a tremendous compliment!!

Thanks for your comment! I think because I come from a guitar background I'm used to have one guitar go through a chain of FX :)
Thanks for delivering us from the Sunday scaries, Unperson
my pleasure! :D

Great music, thanks for showing what can be done..🎉cheers
Cheers man!!
Yeah boy! Good work once again and cool to get some vocals into the mix too👍. Looking forward to trying out some of those patches
Cheers man! You given it a go yet?
@@TheUnperson not tried the dx7 stuff yet, but really loving that first new orange mode 😎
aaaaww - oooofff - FM Jam 2 - I'm melting....! ☺
Hahah that’s what I like to hear!
Amazing music
When I visited the DX7 uploader page bit, I noticed a Wavetable tab…
Wonder if there’s a possibility of adding alt. Wave tables to Plaits..? 🤔
I think there is yea! I haven't yet looked into how exactly that works tho :)
@@TheUnperson I’ll give it a go later..🤔
yasssss loving this!!!
It’s nice but it’s a very thin sounding dx style sound, I think the Volca fm2 would be a big upgrade from this
The FM engine in Plaits plays DX7 sysex patches so it's literally identical to playing a DX7. The Volca FM2 also uses the same DX7 patches so all three should sound identical :)
Fantastic!
Always Deliver!!!
I also had problems updating my firmware and dx7 banks. And I also ended up using my smartphone!
Not sure what that’s about but at least now we know lol
So cool! Thank you!!!
SloGlass was nice enough to add twice;)
Haha! Can never have enough SloGlass!
I had no clue that you could do this.

great .. Thanks ...How to restore the original dx7 banks on Plaits?
I’m not exactly sure.. may have to reinstall the firmware again!
these are really useful. I had so many troubles updating my firmware that I'm kinda scared tho 😅
yeah I had to switch computers to get the firmware upgrade. not seamless. So I’m with you on the patch replacements. I will test on a clone I bought for this purpose prior to messaging with my Mutable..
I’d really recommend trying the phone method ~ works every time for me now.
what is that mic in the Final Jam?
I am curious why the power supply module? I have the nifty case and a few of the same modules. Is there a reason you don't use the power supply built into the nifty case?
I got it second-hand and the power supply is faulty. Cre8 audio are sending out a replacement when they have it back in stock :)
@@TheUnperson thanks I appreciate the reply. I was wondering if I was missing something! You are getting great sound out of your setup. Nice work.
Very cool 😎 man. I have installed the new firmware but I can't make the new octaves - through the freq pot - feature to work. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
Actually I think I had the same issue ~ I’ll need to look into this as I want that octave switching!
@@TheUnperson AWESOME! have a great 2023!!!
That's amazing, thanks. I'll be loading this into plaits tonight😅

@@TheUnperson thanks! And do you remember what channel 4 was doing? I see it triggered by EOR in channel 1, but can't figure out where it goes

Looking back at this video. Great stuff as usual. The sysex website seems to be down... Any alternatives you would recommend?
Damn that’s unfortunate! That’s the only one I knew lol
@@TheUnperson thanks anyway.
Dang I was hoping I'd find a solution in the comments! @lifeformmusic3301 did you find an alternative?
@@kingcardinalband not really...
Thought you were going into Soft Cell territory at 18’40 😳👏
Love a bit of soft cell!!
Just release that last jam as a single. It's fantastic.
Haha! I’m working on an EP just now based on jams from my videos :)
@@TheUnperson great to hear! Can't wait to buy it.
Awesome thanks. What are you using for delay/reverb?
For reverb I’m mostly using the black hole algorithm on the fx aid, and sometimes the beads reverb. Also using beads in delay mode occasionally:)
What is that case you’re using? Nitro?
It’s the Nifty Case :)
👍👍👍👍
5:07 you said morph input and I see "must be played in Plait's TIMBRE input" and then you connect it to the timbre imput :p so, not morph ! and nice jams btw ;)
Ahh right you are! And thank you ☺️
