Programmable Logic With Plog

- In this video we take a look at how Plog works along with some ways that it can be used.
Plog is a voltage controlled logic and tap clock module in 8HP
The Plog module comprises two programmable logic sections (select one of six different 3 input boolean logic types) as well as a toggle flipflop and data flipflop block. all four sections are linked together via specially planned normals.
Features:
Dual 3-input logic blocks. input z is normalled to input y and y to x in order to allow 2-input and 1-input logic modes.
Bi-polar voltage control of the logic types for section a and b with dedicated attenuators (positive voltages move the type forward, negative in reverse) inputs x and y from logic block a normalled to inputs x and y of logic block B. Output B normalled to input of the toggle flipflop via jumpered normal (can be removed) on back of pcb.
Toggle flipflop has dedicated pushbutton for manual triggering of toggle state -if you hold the trigger button for about 1 second it will disable the trigger input jack and become a simple tap clock.
Output of t flipflop is normalled to clk input of d flipflop (inverse output of dflipflop also internally normalled to d input) so that by default the d section also acts as a toggle. this allows /2 and /4 clock dividing.
You can save or load the logic section as a preset for easy recall of patches.
Module can be run at audio rates in order to generate interesting digital sounds.
This module was primarily designed as an interesting tool to be used with sequencers. you can derive complex rhythmic sequences from basic sparse sources (e.g. from a simple gate sequence or clock). by adding vc control of the logic types via some kind of cv source like a triggered envelope, lfo or sequencer you produce even more complex results.
Plog can also be used in many other creative applications including making interesting timbres and for self generating patches.

If u could zoom in sometimes that’d be great, I cant afford new glasses since I went modular
I've never seen another digital logic module that allows you to modulate between operations. This is incredibly useful for sequencing different gate rhythms timed to a divider or controller. I've gone from thinking I wasted money on a Logic module to basing my entire set up around it and constantly scheming new ways to utilize logic in my patches. The Plog is underrated and an absolute brilliant design that still hasn't been matched all these years later.
Wow the sequence at the end is ace!
Ace- I ordered one to use as logic modules are fun and add spice to patches.
Love my Plog! I mainly use it as a drum synthesis tool. Makes a really fun open/closed high hat effect using xor logic and variable width gates, one short and one long, with an envelope that has a hold stage like quadra. Love the chiptune thing from the flip flop section, going to have to play with that!
That's a cool idea! I'll have to try your hihat technique some time...
glad to hear it is useful for percussion as I ordered my Plog today along with more drum modules :-)
Excellent video. Great to see the uses beyond standard logic functions.
this is so good, these videos are great Scott!
Thanks Hargow, glad you like them!
Fantastic guys thanks!!! Always love the Demos
Such a lovely fun and powerful module and learning mine.
Love my Plog!
please zoom in next time.
how are them digital tones at 6:37 being generated please??
By using audio rate sources like square wave oscillators to the X&Y inputs and then sweeping logic types with LFOs from Quadra.
Thank you!
