Mutable InstrumentsEurorack & modular
Macro oscillator (discontinued)
Braids is a 16HP Eurorack macro oscillator designed by Émilie Gillet and sold by Mutable Instruments from 2013 to 2017. A single voice offers a selection of synthesis models, including virtual analog waveforms, FM, plucked and bowed strings, drum models, wavetables and filtered noise. It runs on an STM32F103 at 72 MHz with a 16-bit DAC.
Mutable Instruments firmware is MIT-licensed (STM32 code) and the hardware is CC-BY-SA-3.0. Derivatives may not use the Mutable Instruments name. Bees-in-the-Trees (Braids) and Dead Man's Catch (Peaks) live in the same Mutated Mutables repository.
Braids firmware with internal modulation sources and a built-in random meta-sequencer, based on Braids 1.7.
