    As much as I love these video reviews, can we all just take a moment to comment on how good Mutable Instrument's manuals are? Crisp, concise, warm. For all their efficiency, I never feel 'hurried along' when reading them.
    I just appreciate well-written technical documents that manage to convey complicated topics in a conversational way without eliding detail. It's honestly one of the first things I look at when thinking about a new module.

    Underrated. It is difficult to visualize “clouds two” as a voice in itself, not just a multifaceted (*muteable*) processor. The pots also function as selectors. It’s loaded with Easter eggs. She even left bread crum LEDs to show us the way. 🤯 No one knew how to market such an advanced module to a one-module, one-function, world. Looking at this video, which Ben did a good job on, it’s difficult to genuinely comprehend what Èmilie did for her swan song.

      what does this even mean? you know they've been making thousands of tape emulation/saturation/lofi plugins for years now, right? or pedals, like oto boum or the analog heat or generation loss. if you want a digital emulation of tape degradation, it wouldnt be the smartest move to buy a 350 eurorack module that is sold out until july and a case and a power supply. a 4 track can record, mix, saturate with real analog pre amps, do no input feedback. i dont think the people who buy them over using a plugin or pedal would buy this specifically for that purpose instead of the many other options that have existed for a long time now. so weird that people ar eeven focuing on that aspect of beads. this is what clouds should have been all along, nebulae with internal s&h lfos and a more hq dsp
