Eurorack - Mutable Instruments Clouds 

apparently it was 7 years ago that i first watched this video, and it blew my mind open. since high school i was always interested in exploring strange new sounds and fx processing. i got there with some fixed architecture synths and fx pedals, but it was always clunky feeling - there was no element of chance and sound design was linear and methodical. then i stumbled onto this video knowing nothing about eurorack. as i sat and listened to the amazing textures i thought "where do i even begin? what do you put it in? how does power work? what screws? and cables?" then the spectral madness part of this video started. i heard sounds unlike any synth or pedal could make. etherial space gongs and chants, instant drones, cute little robotic blips and tweets.. all possible with the turn of a knob. i knew right then i had to figure it out at any cost; that this was the future of music for me. this was everything i wanted a synth to be, but never knew was possible. still have clouds, still love it. thanks for the video, it's sill an amazing demo of what this module can do.

I'm convinced that this is less a demo and more a work of contemporary art.

This is only a demo, but so musical and entertaining that you could make it into a concert.

I often come back to this video just to relax a bit. Especially the ambient chord thing is great.

One of the best demos I've seen. No narrative, just music from the instrument. The music is the real description of what Clouds can do. Thanks for this

One of the best overviews of how Clouds can be used. Super inspiring. Thanks and nice work, Luftrum!

This is still one of the best clouds demos out there, in that it picks sound sources favourable for processing and overall niceness

Awesome reading of Henry Van Dyke's poem "The red flower". Love Lucy Perry's voice, sharp and haunting at times with the right effects.

Really the most beautiful demo anywhere. I come back to it often to get lost in its wide open spaces.

Wow! I am thoroughly impressed! That module sounds awesome! Great video, thank for sharing it!

Oneof the best euro demos Ive seen/heard, well done!

This is the module that makes me want to go modular

Definitely my next eurorack module! Nice performance! Really unique textures

So eerie! I love it!

Lovely video! Useful demo and aesthetically great. Thanks for this.

I've very excited about this as it offers a lot more sonic characteristics that are mostly found in today's amazing plugins like NI's Reakor, Cosmos Saturn, Omnisphere and Alchemy, but are hard to reproduce in more traditional analog synths, other than the Waldorf series. Thanks, this is amazing, I saw a friend (synth creator himself) perform on this Cloud module and was pleasantly surprised with how evocative his set was. Thanks for posting and the price is also affordable. A wonderful tool to have in your arsenal of sound design capabilities. Would be interested in getting this. :) Keep creating more tools like this if you can.

Excellent demo. Very inspiring.

watched this 3 times and can't stop.

Some demo video is a work of art

extremly nice demo!!! absolutely cool! the drone feel really got me. oh and yeah best way to review a product imo :) thx

great module, especially at 9:45 i can hear the NOSTROMO approaching...

perfect demo thanks. this vid sold me on clouds! subbed

This is technically interesting and artistically inspiring, thank you very much for this video (I do not own the MI Clouds, but I'm currently working on a way to send my modular signal into my own granular algorithms made with SuperCollider).

Stellar work. Must have module too!

Sounds superb!

the beggining moved me....thank you! c':

Really nice work!

This is immensely pleasurable to the brain-bits

Great demo. Inspiring

12:00-12:50 puts me in an instant trance... i'm quite desensitized to ambient music too. damn well done demo.

Very nice demo, thanks.

I must get one of these, fantastic

Wow, amazing stuff!

people in my studio walked over to my desk to see what was making such interesting sounds. Great demo, thanks!

Right around 5:00 is some of the most moment making, beautiful breath of clean dark air I've witnessed in a minute.

mind expanding terrain....cheers

oh fucking shit, I just pulled the trigger on a clouds, because of that amazing chord section at 5.00, it sounded so good like burial.Best demo of clouds, you use it so well, suttle . so excited :O

Sublime demo, thank you.

Great demo of an excellent module A++++

two of them in a row , that would be totally awesome . . .

Amazing !

Mesmerizing !

wicked sounds!

Very nice ! 👍

You've sold me on this module.... I NEED it now LOL.

I have listened to this over and over because of the beautiful ambient bit starting around 3:24. The modulated poem works as a great appetizer! The whole thing is a little bit deceptive because it makes you assume that Clouds can make anything sound this amazing. Here, the quality of the sound being fed through it makes a big difference, but sure - it can work wonders with a bit of luck and persistence.

Wow. I just bought a Clouds module along with a Blackhole, Ears, and an Atom from a private seller on Marketplace. I haven't done anything with them yet. But it looks like I'm going to have a lot of fun getting some strange effects from them. To me, in this video, the Clouds sounds so much like a waterphone. This would be good for doing soundtracks for horror movies.

This is dope dude

Fantastic!

wow, that was intense !

Very nice!

that sounds nice 😊

Id like to start with clouds for my synths then get more modules in a case to build a modular. But wow this thing blows me away in every demo.

Ok. I'm sold.

really like your taste

Magiskt!

Wonderful.

Incredible

sounds haunting and beautiful

Unbelievably subtle...

amazing

I have a feeling that when I am able to afford Eurorack this is one of the first modules I get.

Give a nice device in the hands of a great sound designer and.. that's all folks!

so sick

das ist wirklich gut. erweitert die moeglichkeiten um ein vielfaches.

you're telling me the Echophon can turn the gnarly braids CSAW voice into a straight-up william basinski track? the segment beginning at 3:33? ghottdamn!

Ha I just wanna listen to an album of this x

Awww look at her 😍

Wow. Such entrancing, sounds. I got so completely pulled into this. Do you have things like this published to iTunes? You definitely should be recording your sessions.

beauty

It‘s strange.. I heard the sound starting at 03:30 before... I‘m sure I‘ve got it somewhere in my library but does anyone know what it is called?

Sold.

Headphones required for maximum effect! If I was not sold on this already I am now for sure.

Too rad for words... I'm convinced I want Clouds, but wallet is not :(

This is awesome. I’m a little confused. Midway through, the chill out sounding synth base is the clouds itself or is clouds modulating the effects

Just got a clouds module and a morphagene module, now it's time to have fun. Next on the list is math

So are you getting the stereo effect in the chordal part of the video by having the clouds module after the echophon - which is mono isn't it? Best demo out there btw!

This is great and so inspiring...I must confess I'm really tempted to rip this audio and make something with it. (don't worry, if I'll ever do, you'll know before anyone else) I'm quite tripping right now.

I gotta get this ! jesus

Ouch, now I want one of these.

Very great! Which modules du you use in the complete rack?

10:00 is such a nice drone

Amazing! Since there are so many questions and this is with doubt one of the best videos out there is it an idea to remake it and show a tutorial or a picture how to patch? :)

the ambient section reminds me of Labradford.

Great module! Just one thing... when pitching down, the treble gets somewhat muffled, which might be because it's recording at 44.1 or 48 khz. Going at 96 kHz would solve that.

What mode is Clouds in from 3:30 minutes? and how is this working with the input gain knob on zero ? really nice demo btw, thank you!

Cool

🙌

Thks for this! Could you tell us more about the other clouds modes? How do they work? Can't find anythin about in the clouds manual!

Now if only Mutable Instruments had a vinyl lathe module ...

10:55 amazing

Ohw yeah!

The only problem i think i have with this module is that the sampling time is only 1-8 sec at 32 or 16 kHz. You can clearly hear the noise at some points, which is not always a bad thing, but it would have been nice with 44 kHz for one of the settings.

This vid has a lot to do with why I now have a Clouds. Thanks? ;^) // What are you triggering Freeze and Trig with?

VERY NICE!!!! Please elaborate as to how the Plog being used here? Thanks!

Good damn i like this, You have an album or something?

would you consider doing a demo of beads with the same audio recording? for the sake of comparison? and also because this is the best demo of clouds in terms of demonstrating functionality on the internet?

I've just started checking out Clouds. What do you have running into the Type A, X, and Y inputs of the plog to trigger the freeze and trig inputs at 11:45?

Gigi Masin - The Word Love he he

Nice vid. Thanks! Who makes the cables plugged into the "Freeze" input of clouds? Looks like you use the same cables elsewhere as well. I like the small footprint. Cheers!
