PLUTNIK

Complex Dual VC-LFO

This is a pure modulation party in a small footprint. The Morph and Merge functions provide access to complex waveforms for a wide range of modulation. Distribute them across your rack via nine outputs.

Each LFO offers fast or slow cycling, with selectable square and triangle shapes. The fast cycles reach into audio territory at around 100 Hz, making it useful for percussive modulation and low-end movement. In slow mode, cycles extend up to ~35 seconds. With external negative CV, this can be pushed into the range of around 10 minutes.

Blend the LFO signals, or any external signals (including audio), in the Morph section. Or use the signals in the relational logic section, Merge, which opens up a wide set of derived waveforms by slicing, combining or rectifying. Pseudo waveshaping.

Dual-color LEDs (red/blue) indicate signal polarity clearly.

Background

Plutnik was a small Swedish research rocket launched in 1961, marking the starting point of Swedish space exploration.

It was a simple system, designed to explore what’s possible from a limited set of building blocks. That felt familiar.

And yes, the name is quite cute.
