Beads

Description

2021 Mutable Instruments "Beads" Granular Processing Module 14HP - Mint condition Mint condition and in perfect working order with original packaging. No scratches or blemishes at all and has been lightly used since purchase only used a handful of times.This unit is in immaculate condition and I can post same day. Excellent opportunity for someone to acquire a unit that is "as new" for a classic and now discontinued piece of modular history.Notes from Mutable InstrumentsThe reinvention of Mutable Instruments’ Clouds, is Beads.Live granular processing of an incoming audio signal in 14hp.The hardware and software are a complete redesign, with a crisper and broader sound palette, more control, better playability, and direct access to exciting new features.Beads’ vastly improved specifications allow a higher audio quality, a longer buffer, the use of better interpolation and anti-aliasing algorithms, and key DSP blocks to run at a faster rate. Granular processing can now go to new territories, such as formants, wavetables, hard-sync-like sounds, or crispy noise.The range of parameters, their response to the turn of a knob or a CV modulation have all been refined, for new possibilities such as reverse playback or percussive envelopes.Control. To trigger or schedule grains, Beads provides new features to divide or randomise an external clock or trigger stream, spray bursts of grains in response to a gate, or get the grain rate to track a V/O CV or the frequency of an external oscillator.Chaos. Each key parameter of a grain comes with its own attenurandomiser, which allows direct CV control, CV control of the randomisation (spread) of this parameter, or internal randomisation using some of Marbles’ algorithms.Character. Beads provides four audio quality settings, which go well beyond buffer sample rate and bit-depth: they affect the clock of the converters, the amplitude limiting and saturation of the signal path, the tone of the reverb, and additional media-emulation effects. From a pristine digital device to a dirty cassette, through a mode reproducing some of Clouds’ characteristics.Beads can operate as a delay without the need to switch to a different mode: just ask it to play a never-ending grain. Its DENSITY, TIME and SEED controls are repurposed to allow various features such as tap-tempo, beat slicing, time-stretching, or comb-filtering at rates tracking V/O.Without any audio input, Beads will granularise 8 internal banks of wavetables.
