- FALISTRI Clock Manipulation #1
This time we used FALISTRI to play with USTA’s clock!
We had our main track set to the internal clock, and then we used the gate B output to trig FALISTRI, whose End of Rise we then used as an external clock for track 2.
By increasing the rising time, we make track 2 lag until the rising stage is longer than two clock beats. At this point, it begins to skip the beats, becoming a clock divider.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 USTA
- 2 FALISTRI
- 1 BRENSO
- (Optional) CGM Mixer
DIRECTIONS
- Set up two identical tracks on the USTA sequencer.
- Set the first one to work with internal clock and the second one with external clock.
- Use the two BRENSO’s oscillators as the two tracks’ voices.
- Use both generators of the first FALISTRI as envelopes to control their amplitude (trig them with gate A of
- tracks 1 and 2).
- Set the second FALISTRI’s green generator to reset ‘On Rest’ via the switch on the PCB.
- Patch the gate B output of track 1 to its Trig/Gate input.
- Patch its End of Rise output to USTA’s clock input.
- Play the sequence and increase the rise knob.
You will hear that track 2 will get progressively out of phase. Once the rising time will get longer than a clock impulse, it will act as a clock divider by 2, 3, 4, and so on.
