The Plinky 12 Toadstep can SYNTHWAVE! Here we have the @instruomodular Seashell, along with a Roland TR-6S and Sequenced by and Synced with Toadstep, also using one of its internal voices for pads. I've also hooked Seashell into my XY scope to see those sweet sweet waveforms. Toadstep is handling FX and sequencing on the seashell, and the pad actually has a sampled harmonic sweep from the make noise telharmonic for the wavetable. Bit of a sloppy video but who cares lol! 😛Enjoy the jams!!
If you want to play with the @plinkysynth Plinky 12 fanily for yourself, we'll be at Superbooth at Booth Z365! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Introducing PLINKY 12!! A new 12" Plinky platform for expressive, rich & musical experiences with sequencing, polysynths, harmony and chordal exploration and more.
There's 3 instruments in the range with Blocks closest to a classic Plinky instrument, Chords from Making Sound Machines offering an immersive harmony exploration and Toadstep from Toadstool Tech bringing a performative and playful 4 track sequencer (with CV gate) into the mix.
We're are going live in a video premiere RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW ... well not here, on the @divkidvideo channel so go watch the full demo there.

We are super excited to introduce 3 new instruments today! Plinky 12 is a family of expressive polyphonic touch synthesizers. The three instruments are built around a shared synth engine. Designed by mmalex, it evokes the unmistakable melancholic sounds of the original Plinky.
Each instrument is designed in collaboration with a different #synth maker, lending each panel a distinct playability and unique character.
Plinky 12 Chords is a harmonic inspiration machine. It lets you improvise #melodies and #chords, with expressive control over voicings, progressions, and immediate musical play. Created by Making Sound Machines, Chords is the panel for finding beautiful harmonic movement quickly.
Plinky 12 Toadstep is a 4-track step #sequencer built for super funky riffs, experimental self-generative melodies, and good ol' Acid. Created by Toadstool Tech, the designer behind the Ectocore Eurorack module, Toadstep is fun, immediate and easy to jam with!
Plinky 12 Blocks is an open panel built for experimentation, with monome-grid compatibility, Plinky style touch synthesis, and a browser-based coding environment just a click away. While it comes with a fully playable design out of the gate, creator mmalex invites you to build your own adventure with this panel. If you can imagine it, you can make it!
In this video, Enrica and Roland from Making Sound Machines explore the three new instruments: Blocks, Chords and Toadstep from left to right.
The track builds on a repeating loop created with the built-in sequencer on Plinky 12 Toadstep. The short sequence uses rhythmic step repeats, track step length and animated synth parameters to create an ostinato that keeps sonically evolving over the length of the track.
As the piece continues, Roland plays a progression of harmonies from the rainbow chord palette on Plinky 12 Chords, before launching a sequence that reharmonizes the loop heard from Toadstep. Enrica joins in playing sparkling arpeggios with her fingertips on Plinky 12 Blocks, the surface with the sunset colour-fade print.
They end the piece with a tempo transition showcasing the septuplet feature on the internal sequencer.

Introducing Plinky 12 Toadstep, a new desktop instrument from Toadstool Tech in collaboration with mmalex and Making Sound Machines.
Toadstep is a 4-track step sequencer and synth, with a focus on live playability and performability. It has CV and MIDI I/O, and an internal synth/sampler/FX engine that allows you to use it as a full standalone groovebox. It's inspired by the RYK M185, and has funky step repeats, randomization and generative options, and lots of performance features for making variations and new patterns on the fly. There are rumours its sampler can even chop breaks... ;3
Coming this Summer. More information on Toadstep and the rest of the Plinky 12 family in bio.
If you want to play with Toadstep in person before then, we'll be at Superbooth in Berlin this May in Booth Z365, so come say hi!
@divkidvideo has also done a wonderful video on his Youtube channel.
There will be more video content regularly put out by myself and others that will be put out over the coming months as well!
Hey friends!!! Been quiet for a while but I promise I have been slowly working on stuff! I'll also be at Superbooth, so you can see the new stuff there. There's a lot of little things up in the air right now, but a good few of them will be revealed in the coming weeks. I have a few collaborations I'm working on with some extremely talented people and a big solo-Toadstool Module on the horizon as well! Thank you all for your continued support! 💜

Guild Build - ECTOCORE!
It has been a blast taking on production of the eagerly awaited Ectocore by @toadstool.tech@infinitedigits . Izaak and Zack have refined and tuned this over the past few years to give you one hell of a beat slicing, sample mangling, effects processing machine!
We would love to see and share what madness you have created with the Ectocore so please tag us in your posts/stories @glasgowsynthguild
You can also follow us to keep up to date with any upcoming GSG production hot of the press! 🔥

Praise be! the Ectocore lives!! Amen! 🙏
The workshop has been a sea of blue recently as we took on production of the highly anticipated Ectocore! by @infinitedigits and @toadstool.tech . Both Zack and Izaak have been developing and refining this sample mangling beast for some time now but it’s finally ready to be unleashed out into the wild!
