Reviving a Dead MI Beads Module

    My Mutable Instruments (MI) Beads was unresponsive/bricked, but with the help of some great people on Modwiggler forums I was able to revive my dead Beads module! I wanted to create a how-to video to, hopefully, help others since MI isn't available anymore. 

​

**DISCLAIMER**

    I do NOT have experience with this type of programming so I can't help troubleshoot, and I can't guarantee outcomes! But, if your Beads is dead, then it can't get more dead...right? If your version of Beads is pre-September 2021, then try the Seed Reset trick on the Modwiggler forum link below. Hope this helps
