Pluto – First Walkthrough and Demo

This is the first video walkthrough of Pluto, a 2-voice, 2--sequencer mini-modular synthesizer. Lots more to cover, but this should give a good overview of how it works.
Skip to 15:45 for no-talking demo.

I bought Pluto a couple of days ago and even in the early stages, I feel like it's a small masterpiece (small in size, not in power). I own a bunch of awesome devices - OP-1, Zoia, Polyend Play, Norns Shield and others, but Pluto has brought about a feeling of awe like those other devices never have. Kudos to you - the world is better with Plutos in it.

Edit: And I want to commend you on the build quality. It's robust! If anybody reading this is on the fence about purchasing one, my advice is this - sell all your belongings except at least one amp, buy Pluto, move to the forest.

Got my Pluto today from Perfect Circuit after wanting one for 2+ years. What a lovely, inspiring little box. Thanks for sharing with the world!

Genuinely the first synth I've been excited for prior to release

[zechs]

I fall in love with anything remotely buchla-esque, so, I love this.

[OdourlessAunt]

Wow, beautiful clarity in the visual design of this! would be a joy to play with.

[BogdanRaczynskiMusic]

There's much to appreciate here aesthetically. The panel design is the obvious thing. But the insistence on a moon-based inspiration is a fresh choice. In general, the lightness is appreciable. Thank you for using that tone of purple. Not enough things swing to this aesthetically light of a theme. I could keep going but thank you for making these design choices. I am curious to see what you come up with next, visually and aurally.

This synth looks and sounds very inspiring! Wishing you much success when this product gets released 🙏

[chrisguichet]

really creative interaction and beautiful design. I love you you simplified a voice down to one knob and two jacks

[bernardshakey]

This is my perfect synth. All of the things i've wanted, but all in one small package instead of lots of bits of gear cobbled together. Cannot wait to get this!

[ThePedalboardOrchestra]

That little synth sounds very inspiring. 🙌🤩
Great demo! 👍👍👏👏

I've been waiting for something like this for so long, a kind of mini groovebox designed for generative patches. Will be waiting for this very eagerly!
All I'd say since this hasn't been released yet, I know it seems small but at least for me its not, PLEASE change that micro-usb to usb-c. Again, I know it seems like a minor thing, but I've had nothing but bad experiences with micro-b, and its not worth the hassle when we have something thats not only better but more widely used.

Great stuff, good to see a truly innovative instrument! I expect this to be popular :)

Two suggestions:
1) Draw lines to divide the three main sections on the front panel for clearer use
2) A simple decay envelope for the voices if you can squeeze it in...

A sequencer-only version would be a great spin-off too

[Genshi]

ooh... this is really interesting! I like what I am seeing and hearing! Would love to beta test this and/or do video demos for you.

[mattheww]

It sounds great. I really like the interface layout and the overall aesthetic. Very cool!

[ramseydoon]

Wow. Planetary elegance, cosmically refined, an intuitively complex and vast sonic-spacecraft.

[cold_fashioned]

Congratulations on an interesting and well-designed piece of gear. I'll be keeping an eye on this one to be sure.

[SidRockett]

This looks and sounds so cool! And yes, DIY kit would be fun!

[tonysharp]

Looks and sounds wonderful. Great demonstration; the last five minutes really got my attention. I was about to purchase the 0 Coast; but that’s now on hold. I’m waiting for the price and availability of the Pluto; I suspect I won’t be disappointed.

[RyanjmatthewsII]

I'm calling it one's going to be an instant cult classic!!!! Watch out Teenage Engineering.

[nifty]

I would absolutely love to buy this when it comes out.
