Mutable Instruments: Clouds
Let’s split it up
A recent addition to my Eurorack Modular system is the “Clouds” module from Mutable Instruments.
Clouds is a “Graintable” synthesizer / sampler. It samples audio from the input, and splits it into atoms.
These atoms can be re-arranged, pitched, re-positioned, resized etc, and in between those settings lies an interesting world of moving and otherwordly timbres.
Most controls are CV-controllable, and there are Trigger and Freeze for automated flows.
The pitch is voltage controllable by 1V/Oct, so once you have found a sweet spot, you will be able to play melodic stuff with it.
I have other modules capable of doing something similar this, but still Clouds has it’s own way with excellent results.
Plus its fully stereo – for those really potent moving soundscapes.
