This week I've been experimenting with using Beads as a sampler to make lush, deep pads. It's a really fun technique to capture the sounds in your modular and take them someplace new, provided you got plenty of delay and reverb at your disposal! :D

    There are two types of people: Ones, obsessed with getting likes and recognition by the easy way and the minimum effort copying ideas or videos that always end up sounding the same. BUT, thanks god there are still people like you that are not afraid or lazy to leave their comfort zone, deal with the unknown and share it with others. This type of people that prefers to be the tail of a lion to the head of a mouse, and that really invest time to find new things, (not so obvious things). Thank you so much for pushing us to discover new things and go beyond the basics. Thank you so much for being this kind of people.

    @@noahtottenI just spent a very happy half an hour playing around with it! :) You can definitely do *kinda* similar things but the main difference is the maximum grain size is much shorter on Clouds/Monsoon - it's 1 second on Clouds vs 4 seconds on Beads, I think. So it's fine for short stabby chords but you're a wee bit limited when it comes to longer pads. You can get some lovely sounds by whacking the Density and Texture right up to sow lots of 'smeared' grains - it's a different sort of effect but can sound very cool, especially when you throw in a bit of subtle modulation and bathe it in a bit of reverb...

    Hey - I'm not really sure why your Beads is acting that way. You should be getting sound every time the seed input is triggered. Do you have the microbrute gate out going into seed? Also what is the sound source that you are freezing?

    I've got some decently data bender-y sounds from beads, but It required a couple sequencer channels (would also work with negatively offset gates) for octave and forward/backward switching. So doable, but it will take some patching.

    @@r1p413 yea I'm doing something glitchy with beads in my 'looptober day 8' video. Patch notes might be not too useful because I'm using teletype to generate precise voltages, but generally, I have CV quickly, randomly jumping between -3 and 3v patched into 'size' and also fast random CV jumping between -1, 0 and 1v patched to pitch. Then I am triggering grains using the seed input using a random trigger. Shape is all the way CCW for maximum glitch. This way I get grains of my original audio playing randomly forwards or backwards, an octave up or down.
