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.
