This week in our occasional series where we pair synthesizers, modules or FX for a musical interlude, we use the Mutable Instruments Clouds - we have a special version which our Sonic TALK viewers bought in celebration of our 500th episode and had a custom faceplate made for it. Ours is called Fulsome Clouds. its an interesting unit which allows you to take sounds recorded into the input buffer, and apply granular operations to it, and sending the results into a lovely reverb.
We pair that with the Korg Minilogue - the first affordable analogue poly which we reviewed when it came out. The Minilogue is a surprisingly capable instrument for the money.

I say YES to "not very current " beats !! The Minilogue and Mutable Instruments Clouds sounded great .

I just wanna say, I wanna hear your out-of-date old man beats.

Being an out-of-date old man, I can tell you that we consider ourselves amazingly fortunate just to get reasonably steady beats in the cardiac musculature.

i really like how you freeze the machines and then play along whats there. its obvious that Clouds delivers for this (thanks to its dedicated freeze button), but you did similar things in other videos too and i really like this approach! its such a really nice way to make so much out of just so little. dont fear youre out-of-date Nick! you were voted the top-most influencer of MusicRadars Poll in 2017 for a reason. you entertain us, you educate us - and you show your skills in music technology pretty much everytime you put your fingers on any machine that you have on the table. and lets not forget: you explain stuff in a way that we all can follow along - novice and professional alike! not everyone can do this. be proud of your talent and your skills! you are an established person here on RU-vid. never forget this ;-)

@jasonschmusic 5 лет назад

I recently got my hands on a DIY mutable clouds with parasites installed and tried plugging my korg minilogue into it like on this video but didn’t have the same results. It seems there is not enough gain coming from the minilogue to be loud enough for clouds plus I am guessing the output also needs to be at a correct level to make it usable. How did you have this hooked up? I would greatly appreciate some guidance on this as I really enjoyed the sounds you made with this setup and I would love to know how to set it up myself to get these incredible ambient sounds. You mentioned that the minilogue is going directly into the clouds and out of the clouds into the mix. Is there any other modules involved behind the scenes or adaptors to get the line levels from the minilogue to work?

@Genshi 6 лет назад

Very nicely done! This video makes me miss my Minilogue... but at least I have TWO Clouds! ;)

@liverawkstar 6 лет назад

Nick, I disagree with you about your age being an issue. I know your a fan of Japan. It would be great for you to do a beat in a Steve Jansen style. It would maybe wake these ‘kids’ the fuck up.

@xorthontech Год назад

Don't you need a pedal/guitar or instrument module to change the audio signal coming out of the minilogue before you patch it to clouds? To change the signal to a suitable eurorack signal?

Jeff Santana plus you should be able to send CV out of your A4, so you can control parameters on Clouds. Opens up a lot of possibilities that way!

@Matthewsavant 6 лет назад

I bet you can get very similar results with some creative programming in the Octatrack, like micro sampling Rec/playback, tempo synced LFO etc to create and play back “grains” In a way.....I’m going to go try that right now 🤔

@oddvorbis 6 лет назад

The best beats are ancient they are called Euclidean strings. A guy named toussan has a great paper on it.

@canecreek00 6 лет назад

Enjoyed the video but I must point out it really upsets Oliver when he sees a Clouds being used without modulation.

@blanet 5 лет назад

I just bought a second hand microclouds clone (because I watched this video hehe), and when I connect my minilogue the same way as in the video all I get is electric ground noise. When I connect my roland tb-3 there is no problem. I am using a 6,3 mm unbalanced jack connector (0,5 m long) plus a 6,3mm to 3,5mm jack adapter (also unbalanced). ¿What can I do to get rid of that noise? ¿different cable and no adaptor at all? ¿Or something else more tricky? BIG THANKS!!

Mutable Instruments has stopped making Clouds. Too bad, it looks like so much fun.

@jonaseggen2230 6 лет назад

You can get it as a DIY and people make them and sell them to. Also you can get them secondhand, that's what I did. but it is expected that they will make a sort of replacement as they have done with Braids and make Plaits instead.

@jonaseggen2230 6 лет назад

No beats because I'm old.. LOL ! :D Being into minimalist, ambient and drone stuff clouds was the firs of three modules I got, and was the reason I bought a eurorack in the first place. Tnx for inspirational video.

@rev.aux-weg9730 3 года назад

wow, almost like lorn

@ikkini 6 лет назад

Well it sounds good as always, but imho using Clouds without any modulation source is pointless. You could have done the same with an Eventide pedal. Add a single LFO and a random source and you'll start to hear why Clouds is such a piece of great gear ! ;)

@HiGlowie 5 лет назад

ikkini what is your take on the Clouds plug-in?

@nielsblume 6 лет назад

Nick... you should edit your Friday Fun sessions (audio only) so we can download a collection of them. Fade in and out so we have individual tracks. They are full of atmosphere. This one especially.

What is the mutable cloud mostly known for and for what application use?

@sonicstate 4 года назад

its a granular time based effect with delay, reverb and time slicing - (very simple explaination!) I dont have a full understanding of what it does or can do, but sounds great.

@setphaser 3 года назад

thanks for the inspiration, pity they stopped making clouds because they didn’t like all the ambient use of it….

@tomjepson2295 6 лет назад

Nice. So you can use things like Clouds with external gear right off the bat? I want to build up a small modular rig to use alongside my Octatrack but really don't know where to start... This is neat; being able to process sounds without any other modules.

@brandonbanks32278 5 лет назад

@sonicstate I'm new to your channel...and i've never been more fascinated with this level of music before. being a modular virgin. I've done research through watching your uploads on this channel. And i personally feel i'm ready to tackle and experiment with mods. of course i want to start small. and that mod box is it? How can i build a box such as that? what all would i need?

Love your jams Nick , that part from 8th minute.. beautiful. MI CLouds can do so much more, you need to make more jams with it, maybe use CV and gate- outs from minibrute 2 or Neutron to modulate Clouds in many ways, and use that attenuator between those connections! Would really love to hear another jam with clouds! cheers mate, keep up the good work! PS Where's sonic talk this week?

2:09 "I try and avoid beats because I'm old and my beats are not very current." The backbeat is always current. These kids today have no roots and their beats are random, clunky and unbalanced and 10 years from now are going to be using your "not very current" beats again. Don't let these kids tell us what music is. It's the other way around.

A quick thing about modern music. What you want to hear is out there. All you need to do it keep looking for it. Yes pop music is awful and manufactured. But off the beaten path there are so many innovators and re-inventors! So that old hat drum loop may come in useful!
