Mutable Instruments Braids clone 2024

a Mutable Instruments Braids clone.

The module is 1to1 identical to the original. Built with the greatest care. Original components are a matter of course!

Naturally with forward encoder and protective glass on the display

Black circuit board professionally soldered in the reflow process and of course calibrated and tested.

Panel: from Malm Audio with a little scratch by one pot.

This Module is a Brandnew Design from 2024.Incl. ribbon cable and screws.

1 Year Warranty!

An atlas of waveform generation techniques

Braids is a voltage-controlled monophonic digital sound source.

Sound source... like an oscillator? Not really.

Most of the timbres it generates are so complex that approaching them with a classic analog modular setup would require a full case of oscillators, filters, VCAs, waveshapers and ring-modulators ? that's why we call it a macro-oscillator ? intricate digital synthesis algorithms wrapped in oscillator's clothes.

2 Knobs to Rule Them All

Each algorithm is controlled by two continuously variable parameters, TIMBRE and COLOR, both of them voltage controllable.

Instead of being directly assigned to the intricate details of the synthesis algorithm, they work as meta-parameters going through all the sweet spots.

Very often, these parameters simultaneously affect several dimensions of timbre, creating very complex movements which would be hard to generate with a traditional setup.
