Flechtwerk
In commemoration of Mutable Instruments' amazing Eurorack modules I give to you Flechtwerk: a clone of MI's multifaceted synthesizer Plaits whose code not only found its way into the Arturia Microfreak but also into countless Eurorack clones over the years. It is a macro-oscillator with 16 unique synthesizer models each controllable with 3 macro controls: Harmonics, Timbre and Morph.
Flechtwerk makes use of Plaits' integrated LPG envelope generator but also gives you the option to only output the raw signal which you can then pair with the VCA/VCF combos DmmG/DmmG Pro to give you a full ADSR envelope, lowpass/highpass/bandpass/notch filters and flexible trigger routing for a modular experience inside of Ableton Live.
While Flechtwerk gives you all the basic features of the original module, I also offer a more advanced version called Flechtwerk Pro which gives you 8 voices of polyphony, LFO with 5 different shapes and an integrated step sequencer to modulate the selected synthesizer model.
Flechtwerk makes use of open-source code by Émilie Gillet, using the latest Plaits firmware 1.2.
To learn more about the different synthesizer models of Plaits, please consult the official manual.
Runs on 64bit Windows and Mac (Intel+Apple Silicon) systems. Minimum required Live version is 11.3.
