The Unperson’s Braids Banger: Mutable’s Macro Monster Still Slaps

Mutable Instruments Braids: the digital macro oscillator that rewrote the Eurorack rulebook and still kicks like a drunken horse. The Unperson dives into his favourite Braids engines, showing off filthy chords, crunchy wavetables, and the kind of modulation tricks that’ll make your rack sweat. No hand-holding, no endless menu-diving—just straight-up patch action and hard-won opinions. If you think Plaits is the only game in town, think again. This is a rave bunker tour of Braids’ dirtiest, most musical sides, with enough patch ideas to keep your modular rig up all night.

Metamyther Unleashes Industrial Mayhem: Four Bricks Rook vs Mystic Circuits IDUM

Frap Tools, the Italian maestros of modular design, take centre stage with a deep-dive into building and performing a true polyphonic modular synth—one that can be played with a keyboard and sequenced simultaneously. In this video, Francesco Gennari reconstructs his track ‘Studio No.7’ from the ground up, revealing not just the patching intricacies but also the creative decisions behind each voice. Expect a blend of classic Frap Tools elegance, clever routing, and a healthy dose of formant oscillator wizardry, all aimed at those who see their modular as more than just a wall of drones.
