Softube Modular Part 13 Mutable Instruments CLOUDS

"Clouds" is granular wizardry, kind of "me in granular Wonderland". The video (1 hour and 41 minutes) deals with all aspects of this Mutable Instrument module. Not even the most collateral behaviour is left out. And you learn a lot about granular sound processing as well - just by the way.
