Behringer Skies Offers A Budget Clone Of Mutable Instruments Clouds
Today, Behringer introduced Skies, a clone of the classic Mutable Instruments Clouds module.
The Behringer Skies joins the company’s previous Mutable clones, including Brains (Plaits), Surges (Ripples), Swords (Blades), Chaos (Marbles), Waves (Tides), and Steps (Stages).
Like the original Clouds module, Skies lets you sample audio in realtime and manipulate it with granular synthesis techniques. You can Freeze the audio to sample the recording buffer and explore it granularly. You can plug in a keyboard that supports CV/Gate and play the sampled audio chromatically. And the module can be also be used to create lush reverb effects.

- MSRP (Global List): $91.90

Note that it generally takes a couple of months from when Behringer announces that new devices are shipping from their factory until they are widely available at retailers.
