For more details and specs, head over to www.juno.co.uk/beads The recently announced Mutable Instruments Beads has already received critical acclaim, continuing the legacy of the brand’s all-conquering Clouds ‘texture synthesizer’ module. In this new series from Juno Studio, we’ll be taking a first look at some of the features Beads has to offer as well as creating some fun jams to test it out. Beads is a reinvention of Mutable Instruments' Clouds. The concept is the same, live granular processing of an incoming audio signal, and the labels on the panel remain familiar. The similarities stop here. The hardware and software have been redesigned from the ground up, with several goals in mind: a crisper and broader sound palette, more control, better playability, and direct access to exciting new features. - Kit Used: - 00:00 – Introduction 00:37 – Grains, Density, Size & Envelope 02:13 – Pitch Control & Feedback 03:24 – Freeze Function 04:26 – Recording Qualities 05:03 – Density Modulated Synth Jam 06:09 – Fractured Piano Jam 07:33 – Seed Automated Dance Jam -
