Clear explanation - thank you for presenting the Renaissance firmware, installed it a few minutes ago because of your video!!

[@indiefilmcomposer]

I have plaits but I think this sounds better, rich harmonics and a wider range of tones

[@ozzy3ml]

Awesome, will be trying this out with my Braids!

[@nectariosm]

Subscribed for the Hemisphere overview. Great work, thanks!

[@naturarum]

I will deliver on that! just can't commit on any specific timeline. This year though :)

Just got my physical Braids module after using it as the basis of many idiotic beginner VCV Rack patches! It's so amazing to have the legend in my hands, but the 4-character display is certainly a bit cryptic. Mine came loaded with Renaissance firmware already, so this video has been very helpful for A) learning my way around the physical module itself and B) understanding the advantages of Renaissance! I certainly don't think I'll return to standard firmware anytime soon. Such beautiful modules released by Mutable that will continue to change the game for years I feel. Honored to have such modules in my rack :)

SAM used to crash my C64 after a minute or two. Hope that this has been fixed!

Hi! Recently updated to Renaissance OS. Really enjoying but my Chord modes seem to create a 7th chord instead of a triad (so when doing the Dorian in C patch and sending a C) I get a C, D# and A#

[@piotr803]

Thanks for the video. Interested in picking up Braids. How are you enjoying SYO.5?

[@MyPruha]

Is it possible to install this firmware on uBraids?

[@mc.laxanikos9217]

How to download firmware in braids?❤❤

[@monsieurtabasko]

Hello I got the Firmware wave file but the firmware can't be installed. It' always stop to @SYN and sometimes it reached 8 packets of data, any link to an other file?

[@naturarum]

are you using a DIY Braids perhaps?

[@monsieurtabasko]

natura rerum no i’m using an official mutable instruments module with original firmware. I try with the sound coming from different sources (iPhone, direct from the Mac, via the soundcard) but no way !!! And now my Braids doesn’t no more !!! Arghhh 😩

[@KentBuchla]

MORNING MIST Tabasko did you read the instructions on the Mutable site?

[@overand]

What is going on with your Ornament & Crime over on the left there?!

[@naturarum]

It's running the Quadraturia app with a bunch of sine LFOs.

I just want to play music, I rarely hear anyone playing braids in a musical context.. I want to sell mine and replace it with something that makes fat synth sounds easy peaszy..

[@NICUofficial]

A fair point, but it really can be used for insanely beautiful and/or cool sounds in a musical context. It's like (almost) all modular gear in general - it gets more beautiful the more you use it. Really, that's true of all music gear. I know what you mean though. I think Braids had two things going on that led to this situation: It was a paradigm shift in a way for modular at the time it was released, also is sort of "tweaker's paradise" so I think it ended up getting featured over and over in "modular videos" that talked more about its capabilities instead of making music with it. Honestly I'm glad for that, since I'm just trying to make music with it over here too XD
