Overview

Braids brings Mutable Instruments’ legendary macro-oscillator to the MOD2 board — dozens of synthesis models (analog emulations, FM, wavetables, physical models, vowels, noise and more) selectable from a single voice. The three pots cover model, timbre, and color, and the CV input tracks pitch at 1V/oct.
