The Mutable Instruments Yarns is a versatile MIDI interface Eurorack module that employs a single, high-quality rotary encoder as its primary knob. This encoder is not just a simple potentiometer but a clickable encoder that allows for both menu navigation and parameter adjustments. Its design is carefully chosen to ensure precise control, allowing users to tweak settings with accuracy and navigate through the module’s comprehensive feature set efficiently. Unlike regular knobs, an encoder can rotate indefinitely, making it an ideal choice for navigating through menus or adjusting values that don't have a fixed start or end point. This design choice reflects Mutable Instruments' commitment to user-friendly interfaces in their modules, aiming at a seamless integration into the complex environment of modular synthesizers.

Painting new plaster with silk emulsion directly is not recommended. New plaster is highly porous and will absorb water from the paint, which can lead to an uneven finish. Before using silk emulsion, it's essential to seal the plaster with a mist coat – a watered-down emulsion (usually 80% paint to 20% water). This layer seals the plaster and creates a suitable surface for the topcoats of paint. After the mist coat has dried, you can apply silk emulsion. This ensures better adherence, a smoother finish, and durability of the paint job. Remember, skipping the mist coat can lead to peeling or flaking paint later on. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines before application as products can vary.
