Mutable Instruments

Eurorack synthesizer module maker

A maker of Eurorack synthesizer modules including Plaits, documented through the Mutable Instruments documentation archive.

Models

  • Mutable Instruments Plaits

    Synthesizer module · France

    A 12 HP Eurorack macro-oscillator module with sixteen synthesis models, CV control, dual outputs, and an internal low-pass gate.

  • Mutable Instruments Beads

    Eurorack module · France

    Mutable Instruments Beads is a texture synthesizer Eurorack module and the successor to Clouds, combining granular synthesis with audio recording and processing in a refined 14 HP design. Like all Mutable Instruments products it is open-source hardware and firmware; the company ceased operations in 2022.

  • Mutable Instruments Braids

    Eurorack module · France

    Mutable Instruments Braids is a macro-oscillator Eurorack module offering dozens of digital synthesis models - from classic analog-style and FM voices to physical modeling and noise - in a single oscillator, and is the conceptual predecessor of Plaits. Its hardware and firmware were released open-source; Mutable Instruments closed in 2022.

  • Mutable Instruments Tides

    Eurorack module · France

    Mutable Instruments Tides is a tidal modulator Eurorack module - a digital function generator that produces evolving waveform shapes usable as a low-frequency modulation source, a looping envelope, or a full-range oscillator. The original Tides launched in 2014 and the redesigned 14 HP Tides 2018 followed; both were released open-source and discontinued when Mutable Instruments closed in 2022.

  • Mutable Instruments Rings

    Eurorack module · France

    Mutable Instruments Rings is a Eurorack resonator module that uses physical-modeling synthesis to create plucked, struck, and bowed string- and bar-like tones. It can act as a resonant body for external sounds or as a standalone polyphonic voice.

  • Mutable Instruments Clouds

    Eurorack module · France

    Mutable Instruments Clouds is a Eurorack granular audio processor that captures incoming sound and reshapes it into evolving textures by playing back overlapping grains. A cult-favorite module, its open-source design spawned many variants.

  • Mutable Instruments Stages

    Eurorack module · France

    Mutable Instruments Stages is a segment generator Eurorack module whose six configurable segments (ramp, hold, and step types) can be patched into complex multi-stage envelopes, multiple independent envelopes, LFOs, sequencers, or other modulation shapes. Its designs were released open-source; Mutable Instruments closed in 2022.

  • Mutable Instruments Marbles

    Eurorack module · France

    Mutable Instruments Marbles is a random sampler Eurorack module that generates correlated streams of random gates and random control voltages, with control over rhythm, distribution, quantization, and deja-vu looping. Like all Mutable Instruments designs it was released as open-source hardware and firmware; the company ceased operations in 2022.
