Intellijel Plog Cheat Sheet

Plog is a flexible, voltage-controlled logic processor module with two 3-input logic blocks (A & B), a toggle flip-flop (T), and a data flip-flop (D). Useful for creating complex patterns, clock/trigger manipulation, and experimental generative sequences.

Panel Controls & Features

Logic Blocks (A & B)

TYPE Button
Press: Cycle logic type (AND, OR, NOR, XOR, NAND, XNOR) for selected block
Hold (1 sec): Load preset from memory
TYPE CV Attenuator (A & B)
Mini knobs to scale incoming CV to TYPE A/B CV inputs
SELECT Button
Press: Select which logic block (A or B) to edit
Hold (1 sec): Save current logic states to memory
OUT A / OUT B (Outputs)
Main logic block outputs
TYPE A/B CV Input ([±5V], bipolar)
Controls which logic type is selected for each block
LEDs indicate selected logic type
Typical logic types per CV:
- AND, OR, NOR, XOR, NAND, XNOR
X, Y, Z Inputs (Channel A & B, [0-5V logic], protected ± overvoltage)
X and Y of A are normalled to X and Y of B
Z is normalled to Y unless patched
0V = logic LOW; 5V = logic HIGH; comparator threshold ≈3V

Flip-Flop Section

TRIGGER Button
Press: Sends trigger to Toggle input (T Flip-Flop)
Hold (1 sec): Enter tap-tempo mode, tap to set clock, hold again to exit
TOGGLE Input (T, [0-5V logic], protected)
Trigger for Toggle flip-flop
TRIGGER button normalled to this jack
Jumper on back: can normal OUT B here
OUT T (Output, [0-5V pulses])
Output of the Toggle flip-flop
In tap-tempo mode: tempo clock output (square pulses)
CLK (Clock Input, [0-5V logic])
Clock input for Data (D) flip-flop
OUT T normalled to here
DATA (Input, [0-5V logic])
Data input for Data (D) flip-flop
OUT D (Output, [0-5V pulses])
Output of the Data flip-flop

Logic Types and Truth Tables

Logic Type	Description
AND	High only if all inputs are High
OR	High if any input is High
NOR	High if all inputs are Low
XOR	High if odd number of inputs are High
NAND	High unless all inputs are High
XNOR	High if even number of inputs are High

See manual Tables 1 & 2 for detailed truth tables for 3 or 2 input modes.

Usage Ideas

Clock Dividing: Use the flip-flops as /2, /4 clock dividers
Randomized Triggers: Patch random and quantized sources into logic blocks for "real-time quantizer" effects
Pattern Mutation: Use CV over logic type inputs to morph gate patterns
CV Addressed Logic: Modulate TYPE A/B CV for evolving logic operations

Voltage Ranges

Logic inputs: 0-5V pulses/gates/clocks (comparator @ 3V threshold, accepts non-square inputs)
CV TYPE inputs: ±5V (bipolar, for logic type selection)
Outputs: 0-5V (unipolar pulses/gates/clocks)

Technical Specs (from manual)

8HP, 29mm depth
+12V 55mA / -12V 11mA

Example Patch (Quantized LFO)

Set A to AND
Random triggers (e.g. square LFO) → X
Clock (e.g. drum machine/sequencer) → Y
OUT A → Envelope → VCA
Modulate TYPE A CV for extra variation
