    5/3/2018 Mutable Instruments | Plaits Plaits User manual INSTALLATION Plaits requires a -12V/+12V power supply (2x5 pin connector). The red stripe of the ribbon cable (-12V side) must be oriented on the same side as the “Red stripe” marking on the module and on your power distribution board.

    5/3/2018 Mutable Instruments | Plaits variations and HARMONICS controls the frequency spread or the balance between the various constituents of the tone. F. Attenuverters for the TIMBRE, MORPH CV inputs. When the corresponding CV input is left unpatched and the trigger input is patched, the attenuverter adjusts the modulation amount from the internal decaying envelope generator.
  • Page 3 5/3/2018 Mutable Instruments | Plaits After having turned the HARMONICS, TIMBRE MORPH knob to adjust a setting, the position of the knob might no longer match the original value of the corresponding parameter. When this happens, the response curve of the knob is modified to account for this discrepancy, until the position of the knob and...
  • Page 4 5/3/2018 Mutable Instruments | Plaits Two sine-wave oscillators modulating each other’s phase. HARMONICS: frequency ratio. TIMBRE: modulation index. MORPH: feedback, in the form of operator 2 modulating its own phase (past 12 o’clock, rough!) or operator 1’s phase (before 12 o’clock, chaotic!).
  • Page 5 5/3/2018 Mutable Instruments | Plaits TIMBRE: index of the most prominent harmonic. This control is somewhat similar to the cutoff frequency of a band-pass filter. MORPH: bump shape – from flat and wide to peaked and narrow. This control is somewhat similar to the resonance of a band-pass filter.
  • Page 6 5/3/2018 Mutable Instruments | Plaits HARMONICS: chord type. TIMBRE: chord inversion and transposition. MORPH: waveform. The first half of the knob goes through a selection of string-machine like raw waveforms (different combinations of the organ and string “drawbars”), the second half of the knob scans a small wavetable containing 16 waveforms.
  • Page 7 5/3/2018 Mutable Instruments | Plaits Filtered noise Variable-clock white noise processed by a resonant filter. The cutoff frequency of the filter is controlled by FREQUENCY knob and the V/OCT CV input. This allows proper tracking! HARMONICS: filter response, from LP to BP to HP.
  • Page 8 Note that Plaits uses a less powerful processor than Rings, and is thus limited to 3 voices of polyphony in inharmonic string modeling mode, and 1 voice of polyphony with 24 partials in modal resonator mode. Plaits does not allow you to control the position of the excitation, which is set to 25% of the length of the string/bar/tube.
