Zlosynth Instruments Arplus Quantized Arpeggiated Karplus-Strong Eurorack Module
The video, via Kronofonika, offers an overview and demo of the Zlosynth Instruments Arplus, a quantized arpeggiated Karplus-Strong Eurorack module.
Arplus combines a quantizer, arpeggiator, and string synthesizer into one module. You can select from a variety of scales, including Western diatonic scales, microtonal Arabic maqam, Indian melakarta, Japanese pentatonics, or quarter, semi, and whole tone scales. Use the arpeggiator to create note patterns based on a selected chord and scale.
The module lets you control other modules using 1V/oct output, and also offers 6 channels of string synthesis, letting you create anything from subtle plucks and staccatos to ensemble-like pads and resonating soundscapes.
