I was only introduced to Plinky a couple of days ago. Some how it went under my radar 😳but looked into it, liked what I saw and registered my interest on Thonk yesterday expecting it to be weeks/months until it would be ready for purchase. But surprise! I received an email saying it's available. I've never bought something so quickly. This looks throughly amazing and intriguing. Cant wait 🥰
It's amazing, but then, it's more amazing, .. but then after a while, it's super more amazing, and then wow.. it's much more amazing.. and then you record a sample and the waveform is displayed thru from panel leds .. isn't it amazing ? ... Crazy sir ! The interface in itself is pure dop'Art !
So happy when Schneidersladen emailed me that they had one Plinky this spring. Bought it at once. Plinky is absolutely my favorite synth/module. I really hope they will be produced soon again as everyone into synthesizer should own one. Then I must buy another one! Loooots of synth for the money! Have the problem with components been solved?
At around 20:35 you play some really nice grains/sample on the grid in the style of the new Tempera instrument - so cool! Any chance of adding a feature to add latching 'playheads' or 'emitters' on the grid, that move on the X and Y based on LFOs or CV input etc? That would save my wallet about $1,000 CAD 😄
Wow. I am on the waiting list so fingers crossed. I'd love to see some videos of the Plinky patched to other modules! The possibilities seem endless. Anyway, great work. I hope I manage to get my hands on one.
was on waitlist and it came this morning, built it in an hour or so, been down a rabbit hole most of the day. Lot to learn and a lot of fun. Many thanks for doing this,
On 'the list'.... Really looking forward to getting my hands on this.. Oh, and Alex... You might remember me, from when we did visuals at that Warp Xmas Rave a bazillion years ago... :-)

I'm interested in one of these, it's been really pulling on my awareness for quite a while......a couple of questions: 1) if I buy one used, is it possible to update firmware to the newest version? 2) I've seen some videos with the connectors coming out the top, some with them coming out the bottom, why is that? thanks......................this is probably the most exciting piece of gear I've seen in a long time.....Congrats.......Best wishes from the remote Canadian Wilderness
great synth! i'm wondering: if mounted in eurorack, how can i access the midi-usb port?? it looks like it'd be just behind the eurorack rail? a midi input on the front would be really cool. i think i'd ordered one already. but this tiny problem makes worry a bit..
Hello thanks for this ! Its an Amazing instrument!!! Questions : - Where can we buy it? - Is there a full mounted version available and not just a DIY ? - Is there an Eurorack version available ? Thanks again for your work.
Hey I found your amazing synth yesterday. I thinking about if its possible to connect a usb connect (usb MIDI) if this plinky is built in a eurorack case?
Hello Alex! I call you from Barcelona...Recently I bought a Plinky Plus expander on Reverb, from someone I have all my trust in, but I find an issue when I turn on my Eurorack Go case with both units perfectly connected (The 16-16 connector coming from Plinky to expander and Plinky to Eurorack) The Oled screen shows noisy, no way to read any info and the expander working perfectly...besides that Plinky seems to work fine also, but noisy screen... He told me to try to turn on only the Plinky, then after a few seconds, to plug the expander and...Yes, it works fine! but...I can't do it every time I turn on my system so...A After he sent me a second expander, thinking the problem may be the expander, unfortunately, I have the same problem...Both expanders react well when I turn the A/B buttons and send 2 LFO to X/Y, both expanders respond perfectly, so We think the problem must be Plinky. If I connect the Plinky Plus expander with USB power instead of Eurorack, not a problem at all...I tried to replace the 16-16 connector from Plinky to expander but nothing... Do you know how could I fix it before returning the units back?? It seems something really weird and stupid but...Thank you in advance, Alex! I love Plinky and after so long, I don't want to lose mine!
Plz do 30% bigger version of it. I want to support you .
Finally got my email, the wait is over!! I´ve already order it.
Can´t wait to have it!!
Greetings from mexico!
I simply cannot wait for the new run of these!!! Ugh. Its superb. Can't wait to build it it!
I missed it again! Back on the waiting list, I guess...
This is one of the most brilliant design i've seen on a synth for a while... Well done sure ! Entered the thonk whish list ;)
This sounds great! I'm so happy to see a synth that's obviously got someone's heart and soul poured into the design and sound.
Wow, this beauty goes directly to the list...

15:58...almost communicated with the aliens.
It was a close encounter (of the 2.5th kind).
Yo man, you’re amazing!
Signed up on the thonk wait list. Will order one ASAP

Such a wonderful synthesizer with so many capabilities, love the ambient pads. Thanks Alex!
This thing looks magic. I'm ordering a new tip for my soldering iron in preparation
I’ll take two. I’m not kiddding....signed up for notification of the next run. Yessssssss..........
This is all super exciting and extremely well thought out, my jaw dropped when I saw sample slicing
this looks absolutley sick.

Wow, what a fantastic device! Onto the wishlist!

Unbelievable, looking forward to getting this.
On the waitlist, this sounds so good and seems to much fun to play with ! Bravo !
These symbols would make great tattoos!!
lovely little thing, (on the waitlist at thonk and hopefully can get one on next batch)

ON THE WAITLIST. I ALMOST CANT WAIT!! AAHHHHHHHH...
Wow. I am on the waiting list so fingers crossed. I'd love to see some videos of the Plinky patched to other modules! The possibilities seem endless. Anyway, great work. I hope I manage to get my hands on one.
Woo hoo. Mine arrived today. It’s real people, it exists (subject to a short stint with a soldering iron).
was on waitlist and it came this morning, built it in an hour or so, been down a rabbit hole most of the day. Lot to learn and a lot of fun. Many thanks for doing this,
Just got mine today, this is a great starter video, can't wait to see what I can do with it.😀
Amazing instrument! Trying to get one from the next round
This thing is exactly what I need!
Great walkthrough, thanks for making this video. Really want to get onne of these, but currently on the waiting list, then I can buy one :)
Very cool. Joined the waiting list :)
Cant wait for the next run... really hoping to snatch one up!
Such an amazing device, any chance of a version thats 30% bigger for those of us with poorer eyesight and/or bigger fingers?
yes im thinking of making just that!
@@bluespoonery think about making one in kosmo standard! ;D
@@bluespoonery Sounds great Alex, much more approachable for me too, Im visually impared so the larger the better! 👍
@@bluespoonery That would be great!
Ready for a preorder ASAP! Just say the word!

This but non-diy and in a sturdy, dust protecting enclosure. Would be very amazing.
Really cool, will try pick one up when back in stock.

Это потрясающе!
This the Case, I got the Space, just waiting for Thonk, so I can put it in Place.

I want to get this unit so bad but they are sold out! Thanks for the video tho, I'm hooked!!
Very Impressive! Thank You!
Ooooooo, when dropped that melody by an octave, that's my sound...
Very well explained, I want one but cant buy one unfortunately as Thonk has stopped all pre-orders since the backlog was getting so bad. Pity. 🤢
Hey I actually recognised those first bars you played, it's from that demo / procedural vid you made with the guy with the trumpet.
Dope 🎼
I want it now!!!
My god..not other gear please..this is amazing!!
Hello thanks for this ! Its an Amazing instrument!!!
Questions :
- Where can we buy it?
- Is there a full mounted version available and not just a DIY ?
- Is there an Eurorack version available ?
Thanks again for your work.
1. thonk
2. i didnt found any
3. its already an eurorack module so no extra version needed
Awesome playbox!
All very exciting! :D

So bummed they sold out so soon ☹️!
sorry! if this lot goes well (it seems to be!) I will definitely look at a run in the new year. thanks!
@@bluespoonery yes, it looks like an absolute success! That’s one more reason to be happy about the new year!
this thing looks like a complexity nightmare...
First! (Am I doing this right?)
