Mutable Instruments Tribute Jam...

video upload by Cables For Clouds

"Mutable Instruments was a game changer in eurorack. MI modules inspired many musicians such as myself in ways I never thought imaginable. Music i never thought Id make is because of mutable instruments.
Goodbye Mutable Instruments.
Thanks for helping me broaden my music capabilities.

Mutable Instruments Modules used in this video:
Mutable Instruments Rings
Mutable Instruments Plaits
Mutable Instruments Elements
Mutable Instruments Tides
Mutable Instruments Clouds
Mutable Instruments Braids"

Mutable Instruments' founder, Émilie Gillet, recently announced the following:

“I won’t design new modules and production is progressively stopping. Modules are marked as discontinued when the last shipment is sent to dealers. I can’t predict when it happens as it depends on how fast a batch is made, and how fast it gets sold. It might happen in a week, in a month or in a quarter. There is no easter egg, no plot twist, no teaser.”

Ambient generative music on a modular synth: 'Dizzy Dreams' by POB

Published on Nov 2, 2016 Patrick OBrien

"This ambient modular synthesizer patch is an attempt at creating generative music - music that is ever-different & changing, as created by a system. The patch could go on and on with very little or no repetition or interaction. As you see in this video, I powered up the case and walked away, letting it run by itself.

Generative Music revolves around the idea that music, or sounds may be "generated" by a musician selecting parameters within an ecology, such that the ecology will perpetually produce different variations based on the parameters and algorithms used.

I chose to record a long video for those who want background music, music to fall asleep to, or to find the best music to listen to while studying, or for those wanting to hear dreamy yet spooky cinematic analog sound progressions.

My original thought on this piece: imagining someone who's in a deep dream state but experiences subtle interruptions, as if they are getting knocked in and out of consciousness because they are dizzy or hungover.

Only using 2 oscillators (Make Noise's STO and Pittsburgh Modular's Oscillator) and a lot of effects, this one even surprised me! Some of the deep tones sound like brass instruments blaring, while others formed melodies that sound like French Horns.

While some reverb is coming from the Mutable Instruments Clouds, the entire mix is sent through an Eventide H9 Harmonizer Effects Processor.

Mutable Instruments - Elements - The Resonator

Published on Oct 30, 2015 isvisible / isinvisible

"Here's a simple patch showing some of the sounds that the Mutable Instruments 'Elements' can make with virtually no modulation. In fact the only additional modulation it's getting is on the Timbre of the Strike.
For this video I'm just purely concentrating on tweaking the Resonator side of Elements.

Here's a few patch notes:

ALM - Pamela's Workout is clocking the Mutable Instruments 'Grids', a Doepfer A-151 (switch) and the Livewire 'Chaos Computer'.
Three outputs from 'Grids' into the A-151, then clocking the 'Klee' sequencer.
The Klee is providing cv to 'Elements' v/oct input.
A quantised output from the Livewire 'Chaos Computer' is providing cv to the v/oct input of a Cylonix 'Cyclebox' which is in Percussive mode and has a steady 4x4 trigger applied to it's Sync in. The Cyclebox also has it's PH2 input modulated by an output from the Chaos Computer.
Both outputs from the Cyclebox go into both inputs of Elements.
A Binary output from the Chaos Computer is going into the gate input of Elements.
An output from the Chaos Computer into the cv control for the Strike Timbre in Elements.
Both outputs from Elements (stereo) into a mixer to record audio straight to Reaper.
And that's it.

Mutable Instruments Elements Eurorack Resonator Synth Module DIY Clone

via this auction

"Mutable Instruments Elements Eurorack Resonator Synth Module Clone New Black/Gold Build 2018 MINT!

Mutable Instruments Elements built by an electronics engineer (Momo Modular) with ten years of experience. Calibrated and tested, with factory firmware. Includes screws and ribbon cable. Briefly used only in a smoke/pet free pro studio.

Elements is a full-blown synthesis voice based on modal synthesis – an under-appreciated flavour of physical modelling synthesis with a strange and abstract feel.

Elements combines an exciter synthesis section generating raw, noisy sounds characteristic of bowing (filtered friction noise), blowing (pitch-controlled granular noise), or striking (stick, mallet, hammer or brush sample playback… or bursts of synthetic impulsions).

These sources, or external audio signals, are processed by a modal filter bank – an ensemble of 64 tuned band-pass filters simulating the response of various resonant structures (plates, strings, tubes…) with adjustable brightness and damping. A stereo ambience reverberator adds depth and presence to the sound.

All parameters have a very meaningful and well-delimited impact on the sound. When designing Elements, great care has been taken in selecting parameter ranges and control curves, producing a large palette of sounds – often beyond physical realism – but always well controlled and stable. The “dark spots” of noise and feedback are reached gradually, and they do still react to controls. The module is deliberately menu- and switch-free – what you dial/patch is what you hear!"

PATCH NOTES

Kick
Intellijel Dixie sine with the Erica Synths Polivoks Envelope Generator sending a sharp envelope to the Intellijel Dixie Controller exponential FM input (attenuated) to sweep the sine's pitch to create the kick. No VCA was used to cut off the sound as the pitch goes so low into the mixer is pretty inaudible in this patch.

Clap
Erica Synths Polivoks Modulator white noise into the Intellijel uVCA with modulation of the VCA from the WMD Multi-mode Envelope. This then goes into the Livewire Frequensteiner filter in band pass mode to shape the noise before going into my mixers.

16th note cymbal
Mutable Instruments Braids with the new 1.7 firmware in the new cymbal CYMB mode. The filtering/timbre and noise/oscillator blend along with tuning was moved manually in the video. Braids internal envelopes control the level before going to my mixer.

Offbeat hi hat
A mult. of the Polivoks Modulator noise going into the Erica Synths Polivoks Filter in band pass mode then into the Erica Synths Polivoks VCA with the trigger from ALM's Pamela's Workout going to modulate the VCA. The trigger worked out at a nice length with an envelope for the sound.

Main percussion
Mutable Instruments Elements gate rhythm triggered and generated from Pamela's Workout. I have the Polivoks Modulator LFO output modulating the Strike's Mallet type, one channel of Mutable Instruments Peaks modulating the damping of the resonator, LFO 2 from Synthesis Tech's E355 dual wavetable LFO modulating the resonator's geometry and a Frequency Central Ultra Wave modulating the resonator's position. I manually adjusted Elements coarse tuning, Blow (volume, and air flow) and space parameters. If all that sounds confusing check out the Elements page on MutableInstruments.net there's a great manual and material on their and … more importantly cough cough … go watch my overview video on my channel.

Drum mixing
Drums were mixed in the Erica Synths Polivoks Mixer and also the Manhattan Analog CP3 Mixer before going into a single channel of a Bubblesound VCA4- which I'm using as an output mixer.

Bass
Neutron Sound - Orgone Accumulator as a bass drone with modulation of the FM index from Peaks in LFO mode. This then goes into a VCA4p channel.

Drone
This is how the patch started, someone asked me about Synthesis Tech's E350 and more specifically FM on the E350. So the sound source is the E350 with FM modulation from a TipTop Audio Z3000's sine wave. The Z3000's 1V/oct is modulated by the Frequency Central System X Sample & Hold (with a lot of onboard lag/slew). The E350 shines with subtle modulation of it's wavetables so the E355 LFO2 is modulating the X wavetable position. The E350's output then goes into a Mutable Instruments Ripples (which is modulating from a different LFO from Peaks) before going into Mutable Instruments Clouds (realtime granular processing). Clouds sample/playback position and grain size are modulated from both of the Peaks LFO channels, grain density is modulated from the System X Sample & Hold and Texture is modulated from LFO1 on the E355. The output then goes into one channel of the Manhattan Analog MA35 filter and is also split into the Flame FX6. The Flame FX6 is in Reverb mode and that output then goes into channel 2 on the MA35. The filtering (low pass) and input volume of the MA35 is modulated live as well as the Bubblesound uLFO sending it's shaped sine output to modulate the MA35's cut off. As with the use of Elements in this patch … If all that sounds confusing check out the Clouds page on MutableInstruments.net there's a great manual and material on their and … more importantly cough cough … go watch my overview video on my channel."

My Make Mutable Live Performance System

Published on Mar 15, 2016 Genshi Media Group

"This is a simple example of me manually playing my small Eurorack setup. I wanted to explore how I can play this as a self-contained instrument with no sequencers or external effects. I only wish I had two (or more) Make Noise Pressure Points in order to have more than 4 notes to play... and speaking of Pressure Points, the top row of knobs/tunings is being sent to the Mutable Instruments Rings module, and the middle row of knobs/tunings is being sent to the Mutable Instruments Elements. So when I play a touchpad on the Pressure Points, it is sending two different tunings to the two Modules. If I had a third voice, I can send the bottom row a different tuning as well.

Modules from left to right:

• Make Noise Pressure Points
• Make Noise Richter Wogglebug
• Intellijel Buff Mult
• Mutable Instruments Elements
• Mutable Instruments Rings
• Mutable Instruments Clouds
• Synthrotek MST Stereo Out"

"Full patch notes below so you can see how everything was done. Another fairly simple "oh that's pretty cool I'll film it" jam video. Wish I had more time to get into bigger more playable and varied patches but I don't at the minute. So these jams stay as fairly quick little snippets of patches I tend to make when I unwind with the modular after work. Full patch notes below.

PATCH NOTES -

Kick
Happy Nerding HM VCO's sine wave output with the WMD Multimode Envelope going into the FM input to trigger a sharp rise and fast exponential decay to create the kick sound.

Snare Noise
This is the white noise output of the Frequency Central System X SH module going through the Frequency Central Meth Amp for tone/feedback shaping. A gate opens up the volume (VCA) on the Meth Amp to create the note length.

Main Percussion
The ALM Busy Circuits Dinky's Taiko module provides percussion and through the video the oscillators releases and on board envelope speed is manually adjusted.

Laser Hi Hats
This is the SARA filter from Din Sync self oscillating with the cut off modulated by the Frequency Central UltraWave LFO with a distorted falling saw wave shape to create the laser resonance style sound. Cut off is adjusting manually through the video.

Drum Mixing & Processing
All four drum parts go into Mutable Instruments Frames working as a basic four channel mixer. The sound then goes into a Synthrotek DLY which has it's mix and feedback amount manually adjusted through the video. This then goes into the main mixer for the patch which is Shades from Mutable Instruments.

Bass
The bass sound is Mutable Instruments Braids in Fold mode. The fold amount is modulated by Mutable Instruments Peaks in LFO mode with smooth/curved sample and hold as the output. Braids then goes into Mutable Instruments Clouds for some granular processing with feedback and reverb. The blend - dry/wet mix of Cloud sis modulated with hand gestures on a HackMe Vectr. This goes into Shades as the master mixer.

Melody
Mutable Instruments Elements provides the melody sound for the main sequence in the patch. It's Blow Timbre is modulated with the System X SH module, the Dampening modulated by one row of a Make Noise Pressure Points sequence, the brightness modulated by another Pressure Points sequence and the resonantor position modulated by a triangle LFO from Peaks.

Sequencing / Clocks
ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's Workout provides all the clocks/triggers in the Euclidean Toy Firmware mode. This triggers the Kick and Laster Hi Hat sound as well as the Dinky's Taiko percussion line. It also sending a clock to the Make Noise Brains module controlling a pair of linked Pressure Points modules. Step 5's gate output on the linked Pressure Points opens up the VCA in the Meth Amp to let the noise through create the snare/noise hit in the drum section. The 3 rows of the pressure points are taken out into an Erica Synths Sequential Switch with the Pressure Points' first step gate output triggering the sequential sequencing. The output of the switch then goes into an RYO Airtenuator for simple attenuation of the voltages before going into an ADDAC 207 Quantizer to send pitch to Elements for the main sequence."

This is what it sounds like when you control half your modular with Mutable Instruments Tides...

Cables For Clouds

"This is a leftover synth jam recorded on 09.22.2020
I sent Tides into 3 filters, Plaits, Rings, Elements and a delay.
I fed the reverb into a VCA/ envelope (which ends up sounding like a wall of white noise)

Mutable Instruments Elements - Incidences/Resonances Patch

Mutable Instruments Elements - Incidences/Resonances Patch from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"First look at the Mutable Instruments "Elements" Modal Synthesis Oscillator. This patch was inspired by Bernard Parmegiani Incidences / Résonances piece on | De Natura Sonorum | INA-GRM | 1978.

To imitate nature and acoustic instruments, modal synthesis breaks down the creation of sounds into two steps:

1. Synthesizing a noisy and/or percussive excitation signal, which represents the raw energy transferred to the instrument by the musician when (s)he strikes, bows or blows it.

2. Processing this excitation by a resonator modeling the vibrating structure itself - be it a string, tube or plate. Properties such as its size, tuning, shape and material can be simulated by adjusting the parameters of the resonator."

Macbeth Elements vs MI Elements

Published on Mar 3, 2016 Dudadius

"Patch Notes:

In reality, this video is more an exploration of the Macbeth Elements than a head-to-head smackdown. The Mutable Instruments Elements is just used as a counter melody, really. But as the naming controversy was brewing right as I ordered the Macbeth two years ago (worth the wait!), I knew that once I received it, a patch featuring the two Elements would be the first thing I do.

This patch is driven by the Monome Teletype, being triggered by Monome Meadowphysics. There are two sequence rows in the tracker, one for sending note data to each Elements. Other scripts are altering the length and some of the notes of each sequence at counted intervals, triggered by other rows of MP (Scripts are shown at 11:06, if you’re interested).

Monome White Whale is triggering the percussion. Things get a little wobbly at one point, as Meadowphysics starts dividing outside of the beat, but never mind… Audio Damage Neuron is going through a Mutable Instruments Clouds (sorry, Chris, hehe) for a little granular beat variety. And the hat is Noise Engineering Ataraxic Translatron through an Intellijel Polaris. There’s a touch of Modcan Dual Delay on the latter. All mixed through Cwejman MX4S and Intellijel Dubmix.

The Macbeth really is special. It of course has the ‘sound’ many of you know and love of Ken’s instruments (to me, big and organic) but it’s the arrangement of controls that turns it into a real instrument that begs to be played. That’s what I tried to feature here. I switch from filter mode B to A at 8:36, so you can hear the difference. I can’t recall the difference between the two modes now, because I know Ken played with a lot of variations, but they each have their own sweet spots, with the A mode have a more gradual cutoff slope. The interaction of the spring reverb and the tape delay simulator brings a ton of vibe to the table, for sure.

Anyway, fantastic work Ken, I feel lucky to have an Elements! Of course, I always love Olivier’s devilishly clever and deep modules as well. Enjoy!"
