That is a really neat and intriguing touch interface.
According to https://www.thonk.co.uk/plinky-2021/ they have 1500 people on the wait list and are only able to do 200 units per production run, so they are no longer accepting any new waitlist entries.
My near unnatural dislike and aversion to modular synths is well established….certainly in my own mind and yet this instrument, regardless of format is perhaps one of the most innovative and brilliantly instruments I have seen in some time. Well done!
Sounds amazing. Incredible value considering the price.
gee, you must have hands like a doll to operate this.
Yesterday I got on their waitlist. I was lucky.
I have NOT seen this offered as an assembled unit since it was announced… where has that been said? I cannot find it anywhere.
to date, assembled units was only available on https://schneidersladen.de/de/plinky-plinky
Thank you!
Schniedersladen had built ones arounf 400€. They may have sold out by now.
Thanks

very well established..
