  • Pan/Crossfade #1

    With the Quad Stereo Channel, we introduced the pan/crossfade function! If you patch two sound sources to the left and right inputs, you get them panned by default. But if you activate the crossfade switch, the panpot now blends the two sources into a mono output! (Yes, this makes the QSC a rudimentary eight-channel mono mixer…).

  • Falistri Sync

    Today we’ll create some complex waveforms with FALISTRI! Using both generators at audio rate, and patching one’s EOF to the other’s trig/gate input, we can obtain a sort of flip sync, where an oscillator forces the other to its rising stage.⁠

  • Formant Arpeggiator

    Time for some advanced FALISTRI techniques: today we’ll create a sort of arpeggiator out of nowhere!

  • Force Loop #2

    We said that this input forces a generator’s behavior to loop. What we didn’t say is that it can work at audio rate! Let’s feed it with a square oscillator, then, and see where it can lead us. Beware, it’s not something that common!⁠

  • Undertones

    Today we play with the subharmonic series! By taking advantage of FALISTRI’s ‘on rest’ behavior, we can use it as a sort of formant oscillator and achieve some odd frequency divisions. Have you tried yet?

  • Force Loop #1

    Let’s start exploring the force loop input on FALISTRI! If the generator is set to Transient or Hold, a gate high signal patched to this input will force it to the Loop behavior. If we use an LFO that we patched elsewhere, it can start and stop a second LFO, creating some rhythmic interconnections. That’s what we did today!

  • V/oct Inversion

    Duplicate the V/Oct signal with the 333 and invert it with the 321. Then, patch the inverted signal to BRENSO’s wavefolder CV input so that the higher the note, the milder the wave folding.

  • Offset

    Today we used the 321 as a plain offset generator: we distributed it to SAPÈL’s modulation input, USTA’s pitch shift, and BRENSO’s Mod Bus CV input. Then, we inverted this last one, so that when the 321 offset is negative, timbre modulation is high and the sequence is low and slow. When the 321 offset is positive, the sequence is faster, higher, and with no modulation!

  • Double Flip Sync

    By using the yellow oscillator’s Sync input and setting the PCB jumper to Flip, we can sync the yellow oscillator to an external one. Then, we can also sync the green oscillator to the yellow one!⁠

  • Integrator #2

    Here’s another fun(k) use of the integrator and its CV input! This time, we used it to create some sync sweeps, and we also used the USTA sequencer to change the integration time at every stage.
