Mutable Instruments Beads - Meet the module 

Just a tiny correction: You state that in wavetable mode, the time knob controls the filter cutoff. It actually controls the wavetable position, which incidentally might sound like a filter sweep depending on the selected wavetable.

Thanks so much for a really helpful walk-through of the main features of beads. I’ve had this module for several months and really appreciated your steady pace and clear description of the function of each knob - not always obvious at least to me! Yes please to a more in depth look at the modulation possibilities. Cheers Patrick

A correction: Early on you state that the feedback rotary does not work as a feedback with a signal plugged in. This is incorrect. It is in fact feedback just like in a delay. You can use the rotary for manually setting the input level in if you hold down the quality selector button while turning it. If there is NO signal plugged in - the rotary works as a bank selector for the internal sound generator.

Nice explanation cheers,get the module much better now.

Great walkthrough! Clear and to the point, definitely helped me understand Beads a bit better. One thing I've learned that might be useful for some is that you can use the feedback / dry-wet / reverb modulation input to modulate more than one parameter at once - just hold the button and turn the knob you want to modulate, its LED will light up and you've got multiple parameters modulated.

Just picked one of these up for £150, can’t wait to get up and running, this video is extremely helpful thank you

Super helpful!! There are times when I feel giving up on Beads. You’ve renewed my curiosity.

This is a wonderful introduction to this module and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

This video shows that the music coming out of this module sounds like shit when you scratch the surface. Don’t get discouraged by it, keep the module and learn it. I was on the brink of selling it myself, glad I didn’t do it.

Hey sir, .. thanks much. Nice approach, at the beginning, .. just using the it's own wavetable source to study & demonstrate the basic features. Quite a few arrangements (infinite?), eh? I've had this module, for awhile .. and am still getting the hang of it. Supposing I will always be finding new things. Your demonstration at 13:30, .. those slow, wavy, .. quite lush sounds, .. really ear pleasing. A powerful audio gadget.

This was really helpful, thank you! Love how you effortlessly make it slip into Boards of Canada mode at the end, I shall be trying that 😊

Excellent video! Many thx for your time and effort.

great video. I'm a 3-4 weeks into owning beads and this video has really clarified alot for me.

This is an excellent demo! Just got Beads and this was great! Thanks! Cheers!

Wow, perfect, just learned a lot more about beads! thank you for this great presentation! 🙏🏼

Great ! Crystal clear video. Thanks.

VERY helpful. Well done. Thank you!

Great video! Thank you for sharing

Excellent tutorial mate 👍

Dude wonderful work. Thanx for the video.

super usefull!

Very good tutorial, thank youuu I have a question, is Beads saving the audiobuffer after switching off..? Monsoon does it and that is so good!

Go deep! Seriously, this is a great exploration of its possibilities.

A very useful video. Thank you. Yes, a more in depth video would be great...for example successfully programming grains to be triggered by a sequencer and other detailed aspects and tips of incorporating Beads into a hybrid workflow.

Thank you!

😎👍

Too bad nigh impossible to obtain (now and in the future). Maybe Behringer will clone it now MI is shutting down...
