A stereo granular effect that turns incoming sound into a cloud of small grains: smeared, re-pitched, frozen or scattered. It is an independent Maru adaptation of the Mutable Instruments Clouds Eurorack module, with a face that follows the original 18 HP panel.
The idea
Clouds keeps a short recording of what you feed it and plays it back as many overlapping grains. Where in that recording the grains come from, how long they are, how they are pitched and how many play at once decide whether the result sounds like a gentle texture behind the dry signal or something entirely new. Freeze stops recording, so the grains keep playing from the captured moment while you move the other controls.
