Description
Here we have the new Plinky 12 platform with 3 instruments announced for their pending summer release. There's Blocks - which is closest to the classic Plinky experience in the OG and + versions, Chords - from Making Sound Machines made to explore harmony and Toadstep - from Toadstool Tech which is a 4 track powerhouse of a sequencer with MIDI, CV and gate connectivity.
Enjoy this introduction to them, which was made throughout my first experiences playing with them. We're talking about deeper dives for the final units around their release, so leave questions in the comments to inform what we put into new videos.
