$harktit$' $tupid A$$ Thread: Di$cour$e Into Nothingne$$

Ahhh PLL's...to me, they just sound like an ARP Odyssey or CRUMAR SPIRIT (very different synths).

But they are also really cool. I can only name 5 off the top of my head. In my mind the least expensive one sounds the best (the upcoming PURPLL).

So 1. PURPLL 2. ELTA MUSIC SCHUMANN CLONE 3. Industrialectric 4046-m 4. Schumann (OG) 5. Two TROGOTRONIC Synths MS 669 AND MS 676

The OG Shumann is too goddamn expensive. I also think this does not sound the best. Not a lot of harmonic controls for the TROGOTRONIC stuff (not really a Schumann clone but to my ears an unmistakable 4046 oscillator sound). The Industrialectric is in a world of it's own. It's like its own instrument. The ELTA sounds good to but maybe a tad squelchy (as is typical)? The PURPLL sounds dense with harmonics (based on the three audio clips).

Any thoughts on PLL's? Any thoughts or experience with either? I plan to go for the PURPLL.

brb finding the giant PLL thread from years ago.

Seems like the context is slightly different. The last post in that thread was 2014 so there are newer options out? If one of the mods wants to delete this that is totally fine (seems I actually can't?). I only looked at a few posts in the last few pages but it seemed more about surveying if people wanted a PLL? Doesn't matter.

[D.o.S.]

You should really take the time to read that thread if you're looking for thoughts on PLLs. It's full of gold.

[$harkToootth]

Oh I totally will. Thanks for taking the time to find and post (more than I did). I was also going to make WOLF EYES thread today but I see there is one. I guess we let this one die out. Thanks Again!

Dude Wolf Eyes are rad and they're playing here and I can't go.

While Ye Olde PLL Threade is totally required reading (on so many levels), I think a new PLL thread would be totally acceptable, if only because there are so many more out there on the market as you mention. Also worth distinguishing between the Schumann-style full-on-million-feature PLLs and the more stripped back PLLs (I think Parasit has one, and I'm pretty sure Skullservant / Dirge has done some). I know nothing of the PURPLL - will have to go check the mt.asl to see if there are deets posted!

[D.o.S.]

Yeah I mean more threads are always better.

I just posted in the the other thread but what the fuck why not have both? They are one of my favorites. Last time I saw them, jaw was agape the entire time. It was nothing short of a trance. For whatever reason 2015 was the year I thought a lot of [umbrella term] noise artists I had been listening to for years released their best material. I love I AM THE PROBLEM and I am really enjoying the new one.

[Antlerface]

Doesn't Broughton do one?

Elta, FTelettronica, Infanem, Mantic, MAssm, and there's a few builders doing PLL distortions recently.

[D.o.S.]

Yeah it's been a cool thing to watch since the OG thread first started.

[raj007]

Isn't the Parasit Into the Unknown one?

Just changed the thread name to the three things that have my interest this Monday. Feel free to chime in on any of these three things.

I swear I wrote something in this thread. I said basically what mad scientist guy said, I think.

Is someone going around deleting my comments? It feels like I post comments and then it never happened.


My reply was something like "hey let's have this thread too and we can wait for the PURPLL together"

I feel you. That happened to me like three times yesterday.

Yes, this is the PURPLL waiting room so we don't blow up Scott's threads ha-ha! I truly had no interest in PLL until I heard that pedal. I love the form factor. Lots of knobs in a little space. Three foot switches. One output. The divide knob for the harmonics sounds WONDERFUL!
