- Here's my latest overview for the eurorack modules 'Branches' from Mutable Instruments. It's a dual Bernoulli gate logic module which works like a virtual coin toss. Super useful and fun module.
As always I hope you like the video, hit subscribe and feel free to ask any questions in the comments below.

Been after this module for some time, Great video
cane creek thanks mate
Really dig this on the hi-hats! Adds some life to it, fo' sho'!
Yeah works great! Grabbed a second Branches not long after the first as it's so useful.
Hey! Just what I need. More modules on the ol' wishlist.
:)
interesting stuff. Not sure would be much use in my small system but loads of fun in a bigger set up.
nedavine I've found loads of uses for it since the video and I'm really enjoying it. I'm editing my Peaks overview which may be better for you system. Works great with Branches as well.
instructive vid, thx!
TheSynchronon cheers!
I only got to 2:43 in this video and got lost in patching it up after pausing it. This is a very fun module for such a low price.
it's excellent! A very solid module that I think "NEEDS" to be sat around other trigger sources.
Awesome! Curious about to what the Dixie LFO square is linked at 5:20?
Good work! When using in audio rate you get some granular sounding results. Nice module. I seem to want all the modules you demonstrate. They should pay you for your work..
Tommy Dahlen haha cheers!
This could possibly be my first module, to trigger things on my Microbrute. So, if I ran the Gate Out of the Microbrute into this while the brute is playing, I could then run the outputs of Branches into, for example, the filter and pwm inputs on the Microbrute? And maybe run the LFO Out from the brute into the probability jack?
Account Von Fraude well the outputs are just high or low values. So I wouldn't recommend it to go with the micro brute. You could run the Microbrute gate output into the input and then let Branches use it's probability to then create two other gates to go elsewhere. But that 'elsewhere' wouldn't be on the microbrute. As it doesn't have the inputs of features to support it. A second oscillator would be ideal of the microbrute. If you want to chat about integrating some modular gear with the microbrute you can email me and get some chat going if you want. Just let me know.
Excellent, thank you! You have moved me from "will check this out when it becomes available" to "will def. pick this up when it becomes available". I really liked those overlapping sequences in particular. So the "toggle" mode is what you did with the button then? (And so not automatable I guess ... at least it's not a jumper!).
Also, very nice to hear this module referred to, as you do, as a geh' (and as affecting the probabili'y) 8-)
Dave Maier Glad to hear that Dave. The toggle mode (unless it's called something else I can't remember) just outputs a signal when it changes sides. not every trigger on one side then moves to the next and keeps firing sort of thing ... if that makes sense.
geh' ? Did I say that? Not sure what you mean there. Probably my shoddy diction somewhere in the video.
4:16 interested in the speaker to speaker sounds.. thx.
witchleaf Yeah it works great for trigger some stereo panning and things. Cheers!
In your first example triggering the 2 different envelopes are you going into the one oscillator? Does this osc have dual inputs or are you summing the result of the 2 envelopes before goin into the oscillator?
Hello, so the envelopes don't go into the oscillator. Oscillators just drone away and need filters/VCAs (typically, not always) to shape them. It's a filter that's shaping the sound here.
As I mention in the video it's the filter that I'm modulating. So this is a saw wave oscillator into a filter then the envelopes modulate the filter cut off.
This particular filter would have had (it was a long time ago so I can't remember exactly which filter it was) two CV inputs so I could plug both envelopes into it to modulate it. However you can use a mixer to mix CV just like a mixer can mix audio. So you could patch these two outputs to the gate inputs on two envelopes. Then the two envelopes to a mixer then the mixed output into the single CV input on a filter, if you're filter only had 1 CV input that is.
I hope that's helpful, let me know if not and I'll try to explain a different way.
@@DivKid thats great thanks very clear
Can I use this to trigger alesis trigger i/o? Or Trigger a Norddrum?
Yanneck Gaensebluemchen you could use the outputs as gates to send to the Nord Drum and also into the Alesis trigger i/o.
where do you get those patch cables?
With the LEDs in them? Mushi.one is the site.
good vid though, thanks!
Aidan Taylor Thanks Aidan. Got a Peaks overview coming tomorrow. Works great with Branches.
👍i LoVe !
💙⚪❤
thanks
i wonder what happens when you patch OUT from the top one into the CV of the bottom. I guess that's a math question
Branches is designed to process gates and triggers and not cv signals. So the results wouldn't be too exciting as the bottom CV input would be pretty much receiving the same voltage (5 volts when the gate is high according to Branches' manual) each time the coin toss lands in favour of the output you decided to connect to the cv input.
"The module you can't get!"
Aidan Taylor They're coming :) I managed to grab one of the earlier small runs but the full manufacturing run is on the way if I've remembered that right. Well worth the wait!

Yeah I know, looking forward to a bit more chaos/probability in my system
:P
So this is a comparator?
no it's not a comparator, it's a boolean logic module based on a "coin toss" a comparator would take a varying input signal (say an LFO) and when the input signal passes the threshold (usually a variable / user set threshold not set in the circuit with no control) it outputs a gate.
Which would you say is more useful?
Branches or a comparator? Hopefully this video shows you the merit of Branches, it's awesome!
