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.
Panel & I/O
| Control | Pin | Function |
|---|---|---|
| POT1 | A0 | Model select |
| POT2 | A1 | Timbre |
| POT3 / CV | A2 | Color / pitch CV (1V/oct, shared) |
| IN1 | GPIO7 | In — Trigger / gate |
| OUT | — | Out — Audio (PWM) |
| BUTTON | — | Model navigation |
| LED | — | Status |
The full model list and pin map live in the firmware readme. The DSP comes from poetaster’s Arduino port of the original MIT-licensed Mutable Instruments sources.
Features
- Many classic Braids synthesis models in one voice
- 1V/oct pitch tracking
- Timbre and color shaping from the panel
- Built on the open-source Mutable Instruments DSP
