{"product_id":"mutable-instruments-grids","title":"Mutable Instruments Grids","description":"\u003cp\u003eTake the user interface of an euclidean sequencer, a healthy dose of machine learning and graph algorithms, megabytes of drum loops, hours of intensive computations and you’ve got a drum pattern generator like no other.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrids’\u003c\/strong\u003e “brain” is a map of the typical drum patterns used in (mostly electronic) music, laid out by similarity, trained on a large corpus of drum loops. The module can smoothly interpolate and navigate from one pattern to the other, at the whim of a knob move or a CV.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut Grids’ knowledge of drum patterns goes far beyond what would be achieved with presets – given a position in the map, thousands of variations can be intuitively generated by controlling the “event density” of each of the 3 channels (bd, sd, hh) – gradually moving from a sparse backbone to a deliciously rich pattern with ghost notes, rolls and fills.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAdd CV-control on these parameters and you can add subtle or drastic variations to the drum pattern. If you don’t want to waste a noise source or S\u0026amp;H for that, Grids has its own internal source of randomness that can unpredictably spice the pattern, in an always meaningful way.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding the rhythmic foundation of your tracks with Grids is fun, surprisingly intuitive, with modulation and variations possibilities that will rapidly make you forget x0x-style sequencers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e Most generated patterns will work best with channel 1 = BD, channel 2 = SD, channel 3 = HH or percussion, though variations are possible!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eI\/O and controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eClock input.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInternal clock with a 40 to 240 BPM range (internal clock is paused when the tempo is set below 40 BPM).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePattern reset trigger input.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBeat indicator\/tap tempo button.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLatitude\/Longitude knobs with CV input (range: 0 to 5V, protected).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRandomness knob with CV input (range: 0 to 5V, protected).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePattern complexity\/density knobs for channels 1, 2, 3 with CV inputs (range: 0 to 5V, protected).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e5V trigger and accent outputs for channels 1, 2, 3.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSecret 3-channel euclidean sequencer mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSettings \/ options\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eClock resolution: 24ppqn, 8ppqn, 4ppqn.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe tap tempo button\/beat LED can also be configured as a reset button\/beginning of pattern LED.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e3-channel euclidean sequencer mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAlternative output layout with Clock\/Reset outputs instead of Accent 2 and Accent 3.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTrigger or Gate output mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eUnlockable items for DIY heroes\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBonus clock output!\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBonus random gate output!\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI interface responding to start\/stop\/clock messages!\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAll inputs: 100k impedance, DC to 500 Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eClock resolution and MIDI processing latency: 120µs (Worst case jitter \u0026lt; 0.5% at 120 BPM).
