Mutable Instruments Plaits User Manual

Hold the second button (A) and turn the HARMONICS knob to adjust the range of the FREQUENCY knob.
The first 8 settings correspond to C0 +/- 7 semitones, C1 +/- 7 semitones, and so on. The last setting, with
all LEDs lit, corresponds to the full 8-octave range from C0 to C8.
After having turned the HARMONICS, TIMBRE or 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
the parameter perfectly line up again!
Virtual-analog synthesis of classic waveforms.
HARMONICS: detuning between the two waves.
TIMBRE: variable square, from narrow pulse to full square to hardsync formants.
MORPH: variable saw, from triangle to saw with an increasingly wide notch (Braids’ ).
AUX: sum of two hardsync’ed waveforms, the shape of which is controlled by MORPH and detuning by
HARMONICS.
A narrow pulse or wide notch results in silence! Use this trick if you want to silence one of the two
oscillators, to get a variable square or variable saw.
