The Unperson’s Braids Banger: Mutable’s Macro Monster Still Slaps

Mutable Instruments Braids: the digital macro oscillator that rewrote the Eurorack rulebook and still kicks like a drunken horse. The Unperson dives into his favourite Braids engines, showing off filthy chords, crunchy wavetables, and the kind of modulation tricks that’ll make your rack sweat. No hand-holding, no endless menu-diving—just straight-up patch action and hard-won opinions. If you think Plaits is the only game in town, think again. This is a rave bunker tour of Braids’ dirtiest, most musical sides, with enough patch ideas to keep your modular rig up all night.

The Unperson’s Mini Modular FX Rack: Small Case, Big Chaos

Ever wondered what happens when you stuff a bunch of wild Eurorack FX modules into a tiny 40HP rave bunker? The Unperson is back with episode two of the Mini Modular series, and this time it’s all about twisting, mangling and elevating your sounds with a dedicated modular effects rack. Forget polite pedalboards—this is about stacking glitch, delay, and reverb until your drums and synths are unrecognisable (in the best way). If you’re after inspiration for compact, punchy FX chains and want to see modulation used as a weapon, this one’s for you. Prepare for sonic mayhem, British sarcasm, and

The Unperson, that Glasgow-based sonic wrangler, takes us on a cheeky tour of his gig-ready setup—one that’s as hands-on as a sausage sizzle and twice as unpredictable. Forget your laptop and pristine studio: this is all about real-time mixing, sample-slinging, and a dash of live vocals for good measure. If you’ve ever wondered how to wrangle a pile of synths, samplers, and modular bits into a performance beast that’ll survive a sticky-floored club, this one’s for you. Grab a cold one and let’s dive in!

The Unperson’s OP-1 vs Modular FX: Turning a Cult Classic into a Sonic Street Weapon

The Unperson is back in the rave bunker, this time dragging the Teenage Engineering OP-1 into a modular FX cage match. Love it or loathe it, the OP-1 is still a cult favourite, but let’s be honest: it’s got some gaping holes, especially if you crave stereo and proper effects. Instead of moaning, The Unperson wires up a Eurorack FX rack and shows how to make this plastic legend punch way above its weight. If you’re into glitchy textures, filthy delays and unpredictable radio sampling, this one’s for you. Don’t expect hand-holding—expect inspiration, chaos, and a few sharp elbows.
