    As much as I love these video reviews, can we all just take a moment to comment on how good Mutable Instrument's manuals are? Crisp, concise, warm. For all their efficiency, I never feel 'hurried along' when reading them.
    I just appreciate well-written technical documents that manage to convey complicated topics in a conversational way without eliding detail. It's honestly one of the first things I look at when thinking about a new module.

Just that writing - 'really?' - immediately comes across as relatively sarcastic and questioning, and we live in an age unfortunately where people frequently write quite mean and nasty things online.

    Underrated. It is difficult to visualize “clouds two” as a voice in itself, not just a multifaceted (*muteable*) processor. The pots also function as selectors. It’s loaded with Easter eggs. She even left bread crum LEDs to show us the way. 🤯 No one knew how to market such an advanced module to a one-module, one-function, world. Looking at this video, which Ben did a good job on, it’s difficult to genuinely comprehend what Èmilie did for her swan song.

    Thanks for this review. Which envelope module did you used on 37:43 How to time stretch with Beads? I use Pamela´s new work out but the triangle seems to be not linear. I´m looking for a good linear envelope generator to use it on the Time knob and have full control of the playback.

    • @DivKid
      @DivKid  2 роки тому

      Hello, the triangle out of Pamela's NEW Workout should be absolutely linear. Do you have a scope or way to test that?
      Lots of envelope generators are log/expo in shape and not linear. It's a falling ramp wave, or downward saw (sometimes called different names) in the video. A triangle wave would play forwards and backwards, which could be really cool.
