This video, via natura rerum, takes a look at Braids Renaissance, an alternate firmware for the Mutable Instruments Braids Eurorack module.

Braids Renaissance adds the following algorithms to Braids:

• Software Automated Mouth, also known as SAM. The classic robotic text-to-speech engine originally written for the Commodore 64.
• Five new diatonic chord algorithms.
• Five new “chord stack” algorithms.
• NVRT setting, when enabled, reverses the encoder rotation. This improves functionality on DIY Braids modules that were build with an encoder with inverted signalling.

The alternate firmware is available as a free download.
