User Manual 1.05
Clouds, the granular synthesis module from Mutable Instruments, was
discontinued in 2017. Supercell brings back Clouds in an expansive 34 hp form
factor, offering an improved user interface and several additional features.
Dedicated Blend Controls
Clouds offered four useful parameters – Feedback, Stereo Spread (Panning),
Dry/Wet (Mix), and Reverb (Space) – which were all controlled by one "Blend"
knob and one CV input. Supercell separates these parameters into individual
controls with their own CV inputs and inverting attenuators (attenuverters).
Louder Output Levels
The output of Clouds could be somewhat quiet with certain parameter settings.
Supercell adds an Output control with approximately +6 dB of gain, which also
functions as a master volume control on the final output.
Performance Mutes
The stereo inputs and outputs now have mute switches. When mutes are
enabled, the red LED on the associated VU meter will remain on at all times and
the meter will otherwise be disabled. Muting the outputs will silence the audio
signal path prior to the Space parameter so that reverb tails are not clipped.
Simplified Time/Quality UI
Tap the TIME switch to cycle between 1, 2, 4, or 8 seconds of sampling time. The
LED associated with the chosen time value will blink until the buffer has been
filled with new material. Note that the sample rate also changes in relation to
the sampling time. Refer to the Clouds manual for details.

- Page 2 Simplified Load/Save UI To load saved presets, tap the BANK switch to step through the four memory banks. Note that a brand new module (or a module that has just received a firmware upgrade) will have four empty banks. A new feature has also been added which reloads the current preset bank without cycling through the other three banks first, which may be useful in live performance settings.
- Page 3 Note that on Clouds, the PITCH input was used for calibration since it was the module’s only 1V per octave CV input. On Supercell, the V/OCT input should be used for calibration instead. See the calibration section below for details.
- Page 4 Time/Bank LEDs are blinking instead, the update has failed. Repeat the steps above but change the INPUT volume on Supercell or the output volume on your audio device so that only the green LEDs on the VU meters are illuminated.
- Page 5 Note that performing firmware updates will clear any saved audio clips stored in the four BANK slots. Calibration Calibration should be performed after making firmware updates. Otherwise certain CV inputs and parameter ranges will not be properly scaled. 1. Power on your modular system while holding the TRIG switch. The input VU meter will start to blink.
