I've had this module for a while, but I still come back and watch the dubstep pan flute part at 14:45 for a laugh occasionally.
This module is unreal! A plethora of really musical yet diverse and experimental tones with all the fun and hands on control! Almost every oscillator you could want!
I've had this module for ages. I was always told to get one when I got my first modules. Its been kinda left out whilst I was learning the others and buying others.
After watching this video I've realised what this thing is capable of. To say I can't lift my jaw right now would be an understatement. I'm also questioning why I forgot this thing in my rack. I got a lovely snare out of it once and it did feature as a backing to one of my tracks....
I think it was just a case of saving it for a rainy day, when I just needed thst extra thing.
Thank you. I also wonder why I missed this video!
Time to tune the universe ✨️
Best video ever from DivKid...
Easy to follow due to the graphic overlay and the time you take to explore the sounds.
Great work :)
Yes excellent presentation!
This video is so incredibly helpful. I've been using Braids for several months and still learning all the things it can do. Very limited documentation comes with it, so it is all experimentation for me.
if ther was ever a reason to get into modular this piece of kit would be it in my book. Simply an amazing amount of sonic power displayed here.
Best Braids video there is. DivKid is the best!
Had no idea how versatile this module was. Thank you, Ben!
Guys,
This is the BEEEEST Braids video ever !!! Thank you so much :DDDD
Yay! I've been waiting for you do a braids video. Will be watching this one a few times.
I have a Plaits and it’s great. I just built a through hole Braids and came here to see what it does and am blown away.
this thing is a beast
And three years later,........ it is still a great video. Explained the unit really well. Thank you. Now I know I want one in my rig.
Awesome video as always, convinced me to go out and buy one and i love it !
Awesome vid. Just bought one of these. Great to see what it can do. Sounds like I bought well!
Very informative, thanks Divkid!
Excellent overview, would be great to see more content like this from Future Music!
best video ever, my braids is on order!
Great job, Ben!
Can't wait to pick one up!
This is what I call a thorough review...
Thanx for this one. Really usefull like all your vids.
I didn't know how deep Braids is till now. I need to buy more now. One isn't enough. Best Eurorack video ever!
rgcmusic me too no idea it was this complex
Well this is amazing.
Good stuff!
LMAO 10:07, the picture used for the Vocal waveform is Stephen Hawking! RIP MY DUDE!
thank you, great video. informative overlay!
Excellent video
The amazing part to me is he fits all of that functionality into 32kilobytes of space, including the Bootloader. Kudos to Emilie Gillet.
Ahhv! I did not know this. Thank you!
Mutable Instruments Braids sounds absolutely insane :)
Excellent demo my friend! :-)
This video is incredible - but you know what would be even better? Updating the description by Indexing each mode with its respective timestamp in the video. I was just noodling around with HARM and then wanted to see your take on it. I'll have to navigate around in the video a bit to find it.
Example:
HARM - Additive Harmonics(12:14) czcams.com/video/QgeCO1DD2wA/video.html
CLOU - Granular Cloud Generator (23:48) czcams.com/video/QgeCO1DD2wA/video.html
PRTC - Particle System Simulator (24:24) czcams.com/video/QgeCO1DD2wA/video.html
Does anyone know where the graphic in the bottom right corner comes from?
I'd be interested to make a poster / just print it out maybe :)
Thank you!
great stuff!
thank you!
What do timbre and colour do in meta mode? Different things for each sound, still?
A thing of beauty. There's only about two modules that I'm not into from these guys.
Gotta sort my debts out and buy some of this crazy shit.
Great great demo Divkid, some of the the patches soundI a bit too "plastic" for me, but sometimes that could be what you want, l really like the FM though
excelente! gracias!!
Good video!
Niiiiiice, good video!
exxelent walkthru !
DiV Kid, what sequencer did you use?
does anyone know what he is using to create the melodies?
any chance you could provide those little graphics at the bottom of the video they are the coolest!!
www.vo1t.com/Euro//BraidsIllustrated1.8.pdf
how you do that sequence path ?
Good vid. Is there a pdf file of them on board scales that can be printed off? Cheers
Nice first time i seen that word up
Nice one Ben Panpipe Dubstep Bass Line !
Divkid can you tell us what sequencer is driving the notes, esp the first sequence which feels like TB3 style but sounds so much better than anything I have heard. There are two out there they I am considering.
I’ve got a Plaits, and a Plaits clone, and a uBraids- but I STILL want one of these. One day, with luck…
Oh, and great demo obvs.
Is there any way we can get the graphic overlays copy and pasted into a pdf? They are so well done and descriptive, I'd love to just pull them up on a smart phone or my computer when I'm diving deep into Braids and exploring it. It's sat in my rack for a couple months. But now I'm really excited about it. Thanks!
This is 4 years late, but I do have a PDF to share. Put it together in Obsidian, so i can share the .md file as well
@@con_nie YES PLEASE
soooooo .... BIG
And well explained of course ;)
For any of those still wondering, the graphics were taken from here: www.vo1t.com/Vo1tIllustrated.html
+divkidvideo where do you have this wonderful graphics from?

Hit my heart by Benny Benassi.
So I only need 6 of these for a 3 osc synth setup and a 3 instrument drum machine? Better start doing the overtime!
I have a question about the whole analogue/digital thing. I was under the impression analogue is where its at for lovely warm sound and smooth sounding filter cuttofs at high resonance etc. Because this is a digital oscillator, does it behave and sound, well, less good than an analoge oscillator? I know its not a VST synth which is just code and maths at work but do those VST soft synth traits carry over to digital eurorack modules?
Analog is good for certain types of filters. Many classic synthesizers and classic sounds use digital oscillators
@Alastair Jackson true, DCO can still be analog but controled via digital parameters like in the Juno alpha.
I'm sold!
+Francisco Raupp its impressive but the whole range is about £3,150, Verbos system is £2,300 and others are even cheaper.
+Richard Stevens I'm thinking about getting only the Braids unity. Buying the whole range is way beyond my budget.
Francisco Raupp me to, maybe over time though...
***** I see, I'm not yet confident enough to know which ones to combine. Either way yours seems an impressively musical system
oh my god this can not be real i must be in heaven
Outstanding demo. How is Pluk mode sequenced?
PLUK is one of the voices that requires a strike input vs. a VCA controlling the envelope after the synth. Check the "trig" input cable in the video to see which these are.
does this have the new firmware update and do you know how to unbrick mine froze.
+reason2910 Email Olivier at Mutable Instruments Website i'm sure he will have a solution for you.
oh yeah - and a PDF of all of your diagrams :D could you share those with us?

Audio damage and the metropolis come to mind
0:29 How this note repeat effect was achieved?
Probably Intellijel Metropolis sequencer (which can do Note Repeats/Ratcheting.)
i want this thing, carnally
How is it only using 1V per octave input but no adsr to generate the sound?
Or gate?
probably the module detects changes in the cv input...
it has a auto-trigger mode. when cv changes, it triggers the ad-envelope.
Thanks!
😮....wow
Imagine this thing hooked up to a Mother32!?! That's why I bought them...Awesome! Multiple Sawtooths through the Moog Filter! Swarmatron!!!
nice walk thru! my poor zeroscillator feels so dang old and slow
Tambre = "tamber" as in Amber. Try it, you'll like it!
how come your vid got so much bass comparing with my module :(
Thanks for the great demo video and all... but I have a really important question, does this module kill fascist?
+Rumblenaut Sign me up, then.
It kills your speakers!
Trogotronics does....
Brought to you by electricity -- NOT just shocking to the touch!
how many modes does this damn t hing have!! hahaha
That is the question!
vst in hardware
Ok, now i'm broke, is there a place on earth where we can get free modules? # Addicted

hahaha the image of a volca bass when could used a Model D or memory Moog lol
first comment
good review... but come on man!!! it's pronounced 'TAMBER'!
dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/timbre
absolutely no soul in this sound
You have to supply the soul
LMAOOOOOO. People really hate on anything that's digital because it's not The Le Epic Reddit Analogue sounderiinoes NOOOOO. Your dawless analog setup sounds like shit. No one will listen to your randomly generated analog beeps and boops. Learn to write songs and stop playing with toys
