Mutable Instruments PLAITS/Beehive Firmware v1.2 Part 1 / New Modes 1-4

Описание: Plaits/Beehive new firmware v1.2!

https://forum.mutable-instruments.net...

NOTE: in this is the very first firmware released, which has a bug in the FM mode that was corrected just after I recorded this video, Part 2 will use the new debugged firmware.

This first video covers all the sounds and textures you can generate (as a free runner) with the first half the 8 new modes (1-4).

1: Classic waveshapes with filter (HARMO: resonance and filter character - gentle 24dB/octave CCW, harsh 12dB/octave CW, TIMBRE: filter cutoff, MORPH: waveform and sub level, OUT: LP output, AUX: 12dB/octave HP output)
2: Phase distortion and modulation (HARMO: distortion frequency, TIMBRE: distortion amount, MORPH: distortion asymmetry, OUT: carrier is sync’ed (phase distortion), AUX: carrier is free-running (phase modulation)).
3, 4: 2-voice, 6-operator FM synth with 32 presets (HARMO: preset selection, TIMBRE: modulator(s) level, MORPH: envelope and modulation stretching/time-travel). The two voices are alternatively triggered whenever a trigger is received on the TRIG input. When the TRIG input is not patched, a single voice plays as a drone, and the MORPH knob allows time-travel along the envelopes and modulations. The LEVEL input is repurposed as a velocity control - controlling loudness or timbre depending on how each preset is programmed. Each model corresponds to a different bank of 32 presets among basses/synths, keyboards/plucked strings/percussions, organs/pads/strings/brass.

Gear used:
BigT Music Beehive (Plaits 8hp clone)
Doepfer Quad VCA/VC Mixer (to mix/fade main and aux outs)
Noise Engineering Electus Versio (used only at the very end of the video for a bit of space-ambience)
