Mutable Instruments Braids

Mutable Instruments

Braids delivers radical timbral variety in minimal space—but with no internal editing, no tuning stability guarantees, and no analogue circuitry. It is a selector, not a synthesizer.

Mutable Instruments Clouds

Mutable Instruments

Clouds is a granular audio processor for Eurorack that transforms live input into dense, overlapping grains. It records continuously into a short, variable buffer (up to 8 seconds), allows freezing that buffer to isolate a sonic space, and provides hands-on control over grain position, size, pitch, density, timing distribution, and envelope shape. A diffuser blurs transients using all-pass filters. It supports 40–60 concurrent grains and operates in stereo with extensive CV control, dry/wet blending, feedback, and reverb-like effects during freeze mode. It does not store or recall samples, nor does it support offline processing or waveform editing.

Mutable Instruments Marbles

Mutable Instruments

Mutable Instruments Marbles is a Eurorack module for generative timing and control voltage. It uses hardware randomness, memory-based reuse (DEJA VU), and adaptive quantization (STEPS) to produce rhythm and pitch that respond to player input. It has no audio output, no presets, no MIDI, and no visual interface beyond LEDs. Its strength is in linking decision-making across domains—timing, pitch, and memory—in real time.

Mutable Instruments Plaits

Mutable Instruments

Plaits is a decisive instrument. It forces choices — bank or trigger, pitch or noise, sweep or strike. It gives no second chances, no presets, no visual confirmation. But within those limits, it delivers sixteen coherent sonic identities in one compact, power-efficient package.
