I'm relatively new to Eurorack and I've been studying it pretty rigorously for a few weeks now, and I feel that the Mutable Instruments modules are all kind of cryptic on the surface regarding how they work and what they do. This video broke this module straight down to its fundamental functions in an incredibly understandable way. YT needs more tutorials like this that don't clutter things with lots of unexplained simultaneous patching.

Thank you for reminding me what an awesome module I have and what great potential it contains within. I have a 5U version and out of habit just would freeze a sound / add feedback or reverb and use that as a pad tone and that's about it. That's a complete insult to the device and you've reminded me that I need to spend more time exploring and playing it in different ways. Great demo!

What a great tutorial. Why don't eurorack vendors do more comprehensive manuals?? The one for Clouds is minimal to the point it omits really basic stuff, never mind the more wacky examples. I'm new to eurorack and all the units I own have sketchy manuals or little more than a description on the website! This video is going to be incredibly helpful.

Hello mylarm, Love the review, as usual. I have a question though. How do you get clouds to sound so high-res/high-quality compared to mine? My audio quality of clouds sucks when I got it recorded in ableton. Dunno, perhaps it's my recording-setup, perhaps it's my output module (got left and right outputs of clouds to both inputs A and B of MN rosie and got the crossfader in-between those two, and then stereo out to my AI (focusrite USB). Basically, I'm just curious about how you recorded the sound of this great demo. cheers, Thomas
@mylarmelodies
@mylarmelodies 8 жыл бұрын
+Thomas Vogt Cheers! When you say 'sucks', sucks exactly how? This is recorded with modular going into an Expert Sleepers ES6 (the Modular>ADAT module), then into a Universal Audio Apollo via optical. But you should still be able to get nice sounding recordings with what you've got? As long as it's reasonably cranked down so that it's coming into the interface at a level the interface is comfortable with, it should be OK? Is it sounding good in the headphones out of the Rosie but not in the monitored audio off the interface?
