Mutable InstrumentsEurorack & modular
Macro oscillator (discontinued)
Plaits is a 12HP Eurorack macro oscillator designed by Émilie Gillet and sold by Mutable Instruments from 2018 to 2022. It offers sixteen synthesis models split between pitched sounds and noise or percussion, with two outputs, internal modulation and a built-in low-pass gate. The module runs on an STM32F373 at 72 MHz with a PCM5100A DAC.
Mutable Instruments firmware is MIT-licensed (STM32 code) and the hardware is CC-BY-SA-3.0. Derivatives may not use the Mutable Instruments name. The Plaits Palette builder and the older Lyle Mills alt firmware share one repository with the Rings alt firmware.
