Mutable Instruments Beads - exploration and tutorial 

I can't believe how many times I've gone back to this video. The piano sounds so beautiful through Beads! I just had to buy it :)

Glad to see Emilie eventually decided to keep the reverb :)

Bravo, Tom, pour cette belle exploration sonore. Et une formidable introduction de ce nouveau module de Mutable.

Thank you for this wonderful demonstration. And by the way: on the leaves is a moving, great and beautifully sad song!

Excellent demo! Great music too!

I've been contemplating taking my 4u 104hp down to a 4u 62hp but was worried about a lack of modulation options after I stuff my morphagene and clouds (....or beads...) into it this of course reminds me that both of these modules are still stellar even prior to any modulation

thats was a very nice demo, thank you!

That is amazing! My clouds died as soon as my morphegene arrived. So i can’t wait to get beads, and finally combine the match made in heaven!

Great explanation! Love it!

Sounds great!

Got mine today, love it!

I found this honestly gorgeous. All of it. Also this pairing jesus christ. Like two magnets finding each other.

Thanks Tom.

Great one

what an awesome loop also

This is so great! I've been wanting to learn modular synth and I don't see many itty bitty racks.

Thanks! This is the way to make a demo.

Thanks... This really shows the beautiful possibilities.

This thing producing very rich sounds

Oh man this looks so awesome and inspirational! Lovely sounds as well! ... I never really got to be friends with Clouds, but this feels like it fixes most of my issues with it!

Great exploration Tom. This sounds great.

Fantastic. Sound quality and recording time was my only gripe with clouds. Both being upgraded is great. That verb sounds awesome hopefully a bt less noisy than the last time. Real cool idea on the random attenuverters too. Instant buy.

This is lovely! Really great sounds.

Sounds beautiful!

Incredibly beautiful demo!

Just noticed that the attenuators actually do adjust the internal modulation when nothing is patched into the cv inputs… missed that in the documentation 🤩

Nice! What cases are you using? (the wooden end cheek ones I mean)

oooooo. bought immediately to replace my monsoon in my tiny nebulae pico case. so handy to have modulation, random source and attenuation there, will make my backpack rack so much more playable. Thanks for sharing your video and demonstration.

That sounded just great! Bought.

Terrific!

6:25 I thought „hey, there is a circle in the artwork of Tides and Ripples that perfectly matches if they are put next to each other! What a great design!“ Then I realized it was a human hair.

Thanks, this video sold me. Purchased. If I may ask, what cases are you using? Are those 4ms Pods with wood cheeks added on? Or something else?

great work tom! this module definitely has my attention.

Happy to see that it's not a totally different module but a thorough yet subtle rework of Clouds. This as Clouds have been so sought after and an important part of many racks and our eurorack history, and even though you can get Clouds clones it's nice to be able to buy a real MI product and in this way support Emilie for her great work. Things like the randomization is really cool and those sound quality selections seems much better, and to me it sounds in general like a sonically large improvement over Clouds. Am I right here?

Hi Tom, beautiful demo! Guess we are all mindblowed about finally meet Beads lol.

Beautiful sonic examples of what Beads can do. (Also love the little detail of the Kodama sitting on the box in the first minute or so , who doesn't love Miyazaki?)

Some very cool & usable tones going on here...

Wow!!!

great stuff, as always

I know Im not alone when I say this, Ive been eagerly waiting for the day I get on youtube and see a new Emilie Gillet module in my feed....and and find out that its the revamp of "Clouds"!

Le son est limpide, clair et précis. J'attendais une réédition avec envie et impatience. L'univers mutable est tellement inspirant quand on à ces modules.... Merci pour ta vidéo. Merci à Émilie...

Looking forward to getting this and Blades to use with Rings and Marbles for perfect ambient rig,

Great demo, thanks for sharing! Beads sounds very interesting :)

Pure bliss!

4:41 great loop! and then a bit evolved at 4:59

awesome editing!

Sounds great. Is the ‘pitch’ quantized?

May I ask if this module features the reverb algorithm of Clouds v.1, or any reverb at all actually?

this is beautiful @tomleclerc !!! What size euroraock case is this. I have the same modules and want to take them off my full to make a compact setup but not sure what size ill need to fit these

Very nice, so this is the reinvention of Clouds? Which is awesome in my book. Another item on the shopping list that grows ever longer as my wallet empties. Some direct correlation there I fear lol. Thank you for the demo very inspirational.

Nice demo! Did you go over what the function of the seed button does?

Looks much more interesting than Clouds, might have to get one

this is a very beautiful demo, thanks ! :) just wondering, where does the sample at 4:42 comes from ? so soothing !

Is this the first "Rings into Beads" video? ;)

rings or elements into beads would sound so good...

omg please where is the first sample from 0:09

Giving Divkid a run for his money!!

Out of topic but what is this output module?

Rings into beads!

It is really a nice sounding demo. But tbo. I can not really evaluate what the Beads is doing, because of the unknown, unheard and complex source sounds. I would like to hear a pure saw wave (easiest playing as you can) manipulated with Beads and all it's possibilities. So in this current stage the demo video doesn't help me, sorry. :-/

00:05 Perfect Swan Song for Mutable Instruments.

Sounds Leagues better than Clouds. Ive tried Clouds in 3 versions & only rarely got something interesting out. But this one Emilie outdid herself

Hmm. This or Typhoon? probably this lol

the pitch sounds way better than the old clouds version...

I already dared to hope that the age of rings into cloud video would soon come to an end ...

Seems a funny decision that this is designed to be more self-sufficient compared to Clouds. I guess kids don't like their modular to be too modular anymore.

Anyone else hear “all is full of love” by bjork?

I'm very surprised to see that the highest quality is still just 16 bit, 48khz. Especially for something intended to time stretch and granulate sounds, I would really hope for a higher sample rate, and I'm generally very hesitant to run a sexy all-analog audio signal through a 16 bit processor. I mean, I get that it must be an artistic decision, but a higher quality ADC was one of my main hopes from the new model. I mean, obviously still have to get one, but it may not be an easy choice between Beads, Morphagene or Arbhar.

already a dislike? who dislikes this?!

Wow!
