Grayscale Supercell User Manual
User Manual 1.0
Clouds, the granular synthesis module from Mutable Instruments, was
discontinued in 2017. Supercell brings back Clouds in a more accessible 34 hp
form factor, offering an improved user interface and several additional features.
More Control
Clouds offered four useful parameters –Feedback, Stereo Spread (Panning),
Dry/Wet (Mix), and Reverb (Space) – which wereall 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
The output of Clouds could be somewhat quiet with certain parameter settings.
Supercell adds an Output control with additional gain. The Output knob is
scaled from 0 dB to approximately +10 dB, working as a master volume control.
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 output 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.
After changing this, the LED associated with the chosen time value will blink to
indicate that a new buffer is being reorded. Note that the audio quality also
changes in relation to the sampling time. Refer to the Clouds manual for details.
