“Such a Mutable Instruments thing to just have a hidden ______ in the module”. Agreed! I personally place Emilie Gillet with the other GOATs of Robert Moog, Don Buchla, and Serge Tcherepnin.
Btw, reasons for liking your videos is I find them soothing and relaxing, yet useful. Also Your small case makes it easy to see what's going on. That you use a keyboard also helps.
You have touched on the most influential quotes from Cinematic Laboratory for me. “Many modules offer triggered grains and/or grain sprays. But clock divided/multiplied grains are unique and special. (Mojave, Melotus Versio, and Beads) Clocked grains are an important aspect of granular effects. If it can’t be clocked, it can’t dance”. “Instrument or effect? A granular instrument is like a VCO and can run by itself. A granular effect always needs an external sound-source to work on”. A Rample into any of these makes it into an excellent instrument.
quite perceptive:) what i love about the mojave is that it can be both, locking the buffer and then becoming a granular synthesizer if you choose to freeze it at a small grain size - the reason mojave wins in my opinion is its ability to switch firmware within a second or two, and most importantly can go to smaller grain sizes than other modules
Great vid. I have both of these modules and you've given me some tips I can use that I didn't think about... Love watching other people work, always something to learn :) Cheers!
Having both looks like a lot of fun to be sure. The Reverbs for each of the different quality levels on Beads is different, so really I think you have 4 different reverbs in there. Maybe it's just my ears, and the different sampling rates, but I'm pretty sure there are other differences.
Very interesting to see some of the direct overlap, but the differences between the two are certainly interesting. Even better that you show how you can use the two together for a "super-mojave-beads."
Now, this I'm really looking forward to, as it's impossible to get hold of Beads at any sensible price! Also, can you please step on qu-bits' toes and beg their Stardust module to review?! 🤟
Clouds is popularly used as an end-of-chain effect with a unique comb-filtering style. Beads is not Clouds 2. Beads & Mojave can be more of a voice due to their controls. Both are very deep.
I have a Beads but it’s broken - working but it’s software won’t load. 😢😢😢 I got a Instruo Arbhar to replace it, which is interesting, any chance of a video on this ? Maybe my tears will bring my Beads back to life ???

14:30 haha that reminds me Shine on you crazy… Mojave ☺️🎶
Your videos are always a treat for my ears. Thanks you so much 👍

Your pad thing you did at 15 mins was amazingly beautiful. 🙏

That was excellent. Versus seems like it should actually be "parties with". Such a fantastic and dreamy combo! Cheers!

@@MelonSprout Each of the three have their +/-. Download manuals & watch videos to find your match. I use mine with field recordings.
That barking dog sample is dope
Thank you so much dear brother 🥰🦄🐬🌺🌸

Since adding it about a year ago, Mojave has become my favorite module of the two dozen in my rack. Absolutely mind-boggling what it's capable of.
Have you tried Beads?
So timely. I was playing with my Mojave tonight, and was struggling a bit. Totally going to jam on these patches.
Thanks Ally!
Which one fits your style more so? Do you have a favorite of the two?

That was a very helpful insight into the two modules. Thank you!😎
was hoping you'd do this vid, great stuff
Definitely found some inspiration for Beads, thanks! Also, could we maybe see the dog?
That bass at the start ❤
Yay! Another Mojave episode!
Excellent ❤
The reverb on Mojave has this weird sharp dropoff past 3 o clock.
awesome.
Would be great to see Disting Ex Granulator compared with any of the two as well.

They sent me one out last week 😎
Would be interesting to hear how the neighbours dog sounds through both modules...😉
@@jurgendabeedin441 Yeah Dog for reference and banana for scale. Thinking about it, Banana is a good name for a quantizer.
I've got one for sale - used under two hours, just an impulse buy. Happy to let go for 350 shipped US
15:20 sounds like in old good soviet cartoons or movies about space traveling ))
So apparently 1 granular module isn't enough now - you need to have 2 - Thanks a lot Ali 🙄 lol. Nice Jams!
Where does clouds fit in with these. When I first got into modular, clouds was just on its way out as the in sound.

I remember a video on UA-cam about un-bricking a Beads. Search for it, maybe it will help you
I gave up on Beads and ended up selling mine. A module that ONLY sounded good on other people's video's for me!! 😀
The thumbnail is a bit misleading as at the end it’s more „&“ not „vs“. But as usual, nice patches, sounds and jams.
And what is our dog doing in your video?
that dusty faceplate on mojave its just delicius
How many cassettes have you sold 🫨
Here is my comment. Like this video everyone, unless you don't but then go out and play in the traffic or something : )
Here's my comment thanking you for your comment. Now I'm 50% sure we're not Russian bots.

affirmative!
Gotta move the knobs on Beads from the random to the rhythmic side. Un- shows how good this can sound.
