    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. So a simple word with a question mark is quite confusing in a response. That's all. I'm calm, but I also like good manners 😀

    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 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
