Mutable Instruments Yarns (initial test)

"The first section of the video demonstrates Yarns (duophonic, 2x monophonic) '2M' mode. Two MIDI to 1V/OCT Pitch CV's are independently tracking 2 D-LFO channels. The Yarns 2x gate messages are patched to the Cwejman CTG-VC's. The MIDI Clock message is used to Clock sync the Cwejman RG-6 which is lightly modulating the Attack and Decay times of a Cwejman CTG-VC, which is enveloping the two D-LFO oscillators in the 4MS VCA Matrix. Both oscillators are run through the Cwejman SPH-2 Spatial Phaser. We manually experimented with switching D-LFO waveforms while the MIDI sequence was running through Yarns.

The second section of the video demonstrates Yarns (monophonic) '1M' mode. A MIDI to 1V/OCT Pitch CV is sequencing the Cwejman D-LFO oscillator 1. The second oscillator of the D-LFO is synced to the first. Both oscillators are run through the 4MS VCA Matrix. The Yarns gate CV is triggering the Mutable Instruments Tides, of which the bipolar output is multed out via stackable and enveloping both channnels of Cwejman D-LFO in the 4MS VCA Matrix. The Yarns Velocity CV is modulating the level of the Tides envelope. By programming dynamic velocity into the MIDI sequence, the Yarns Velocity CV highlights the expressive and rhythmic potential of the Tides envelope. The MIDI Clock message from the Yarns is sent to the 4MS Quad Pingable LFO which is modulating the RATE CV of the second channel of the Cwejman D-LFO (sync ratio modulation)."
