Cool. Thanks for sharing!
Mac only for the Braids one.
Very interesting. I want to point out that there is already an excellent emulation of most of Braid´s modules in the free Euro Reakt library for Reaktor.
I think some of this is ported to Axoloti too fwiw
there is also a software version of many mutable instruments modules in the free vcv rack. For clouds the different modes are not working yet and for braids the menu is misising. But elements, rings, warps, tides all seem to work flawlessly

I don’t think there are most of it’s modes, only a few. Still brilliant of course
Thanks! Yeah, I should also note that the Euro Reakt Blocks are not 1:1 emulations since Reaktor doesn’t have a C/C++ API. In some instances, I added features to the modes or expanded the control ranges.
The VCV ports are compiled using the original code. I just helped port the Sheep firmware for Tides over, so that should be in the next update.
hi Michael 
Glorious days for software modulars
hello rings. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ1gtvxgg74/
Clouds (actual) was announced as discontinued today.
yes. read it. I’ll probably get a micro clouds soon
Nice, saw this yesterday and nearly jumped out of my chair. Clouds is one thing I really missed after selling off my modular and having it in Live for free is just amazing. I’m thinking this will get some workout with the M4L LFO module. It really starts to sound great when you modulate it in all sorts of ways. And Rings coming soon!
little tryout with m4l braids.
Mutable Instruments Grids has existed as a Max4Live device for quite a while too
Grids is amazing. Seemingly so simple yet capable of quite complex stuff. There’s something really fun about turning a knob and hearing patterns change in a musical way.
On the euro module best results achieved through a combo of manual tweaking and CV modulation. The inclusion of separate and distinct Accent outputs really breathes life into patterns. With this plugin use M4L LFO or similar to achieve something akin to CV modulation. The plugin accents steps not by modulating the volume but by playing another adjacent midi note simultaneously. So be sure set “main” and “acc” to the same note number for a more traditional delivery of accented feel. Not sure why the default is set the way it is but there you have it
plus it has a bonus Euclidean mode

I noticed that Braids is also listed as discontinued on the MI page. I wonder why since it is a fantastic module and I see in a lot of cases. Why would you stop selling one of your top-sellers?
(edit)
I found some information on the MI facebook page. > Goodbye Braids!
Time to say goodbye to another module, Braids.
When I originally designed Braids in 2012, from the ashes of a never released factory-made Ambika, I naively thought that it would be the monster oscillator to end all oscillators. It did everything, what could go wrong? Five years later I realize that I completely missed the mark, and that I created instead a very different kind of beast. Deeper, bigger oscillators have been made. Yet, Mutable Instruments’ best-selling sound generator ended up in musicians’ racks for all kinds of other reasons: quickly getting the sauce going, layering or doubling “better” oscillators, that extra part in a multi-timbral patch or this short percussive plink triggered by the fourth or fifth channel of your Circadian Rhythms, the glorious “channel surfing” sound of the META mode,… or anything that needed to be rapidly reconfigured between tracks in a live performance.
What bothers me is that Braids’ user interface is not really adequate for these tasks (something that is meant to be shallow doesn’t deserve a menu system!), that its rather large size is out of sync with its role as a little sound generation satellite, and that there’s too much fragmentation in this big list of models. Not to mention that over the past few years I’ve written cleaner, more sophisticated and better sounding algorithms for most of the things Braids does.
I’m going to fix this. Don’t expect a “Braids mkII” with an OLED display, a SD card reader and gazillion models. Other brands and some hot newcomers are getting very good at this game. For me it is time to make some room for something leaner and more fun to play with!
PS: more announcements to come… it looks like 2017 will be a year with a negative number of module releases
