- Page 2 3/14/2021 Mutable Instruments | Beads One way of picturing how Beads operates is to imagine a tape loop, on which incoming audio is continuously recorded. Every time you request a grain to be played (in reaction to a trigger, a button press, periodically, or randomly), a new replay head positions itself along the tape.
- Page 3 10 seconds, the content of the buffer is backed up, and will be restored the next time the module is powered on. Beads will not switch between stereo and mono operation, or change the recording quality, while FREEZE engaged.
- Page 4 3/14/2021 Mutable Instruments | Beads Four parameters control at which buffer position, pitch, and with which duration and envelope the grains are replayed. More precisely, these parameters and their respective modulations are read once, whenever a grain starts, and remain unchanged throughout the duration of the grain. If a parameter then changes, it will only impact the next grain.

Audio output. While the recording buffer can be mono or stereo, Beads’ signal processing chain is always stereo. If the R output is left unpatched, both L and R signals are summed together and sent to the L output.
