This is an exact hardware replica of the Mutable Instruments Plaits module. Below is the description of Plaits.
Plaits is the spiritual successor of Mutable Instruments’ best-selling voltage-controlled sound source, Braids. Not just a mkII version: its hardware and software have been redesigned from scratch. Just like its predecessor, it offers direct access to a large palette of easily tweakable raw sonic material, covering the whole gamut of synthesis techniques.
- Width: 12HP
- Depth: 25mm
- Power: 50mA @+12V / 5mA @-12V
Features
8 Pitched Synthesis Models
- Two virtual analog models for continuously-variable waveforms
