Intellijel’s Plonk is a physical modeling percussion synthesizer for eurorack format. It’s made in partnership with Applied Acoustics Systems (A|A|S) who specialize in physical modeling. I think their plugin Chromaphone is really the legacy brain behind Plonk. Both are great… Plonk, being hardware, has less depth but seems more playable; especially live. Chromaphone works better in DAW production. You just can’t beat plugin recall and precision control in a sequence.
Now that the summary is out of the way… I made some sounds. You can get them here! https://thewavlab.com/product/plonk-percussion/ These are categorized into folders, and aligned to Universal Category System. I find them really useful in a hardware sampler like Octatrack, or in a software drum plugin like Battery.
For a more entertaining look into what Plonk can do… and to see the trick I used to make this collection of samples, watch this video from the talented Andrew Haung.

How exactly can I download it? Please help.
Hey João. Thanks for the comment. My download link broke during the move to this new website design. Just fixed it, and you should be able to click “Free Download” to get the zip file. Hope you make something cool with the samples!
