  • An Update on FALISTRI

    Today we’ll talk about a tiny little layout change introduced from this new batch of FALISTRI. Here’s how it looks like: The 2020 FALISTRI interface. If you could spot the difference, it’s…
  • FUMANA Vocoding

    IDEA The sixteen filters of FUMANA are well laid out on the front panel. What may not be obvious at first glance, however, is that sixteen more filters are laying under the…
  • Stage Shift

    Pick random notes, but only among those YOU defined! With the Stage Shift function, USTA will use any external CV to pick other notes from the pattern than the ones associated with the stage. The cool part is that the rhythmic structure of the Length layer will stay the same!

  • Quadrature Drones

    Quadrature Mode is more than just ADSR: in this patch we use it to create two interconnected LFOs, which animate the stereo image of our BRENSO oscillator.⁠

  • Self-Pinging BRENSO

    Even harder – a groove with BRENSO alone!⁠ Set the green oscillator’s frequency range to Low, open the Timbre Modulation Bus, patch the green square output to the Ping input, and you’re ready to go.⁠

  • USTA Envelopes #1

    That’s another fun trick to add articulation to your patch when you’ve already run out of control sources.⁠ Set USTA’s CVB to its green color, then play with its values to create rising and falling voltages.⁠

  • Spectral LFO

    Here’s what BRENSO’s green oscillator is capable of when used as an LFO!⁠ We patched its square out to FUMANA’s mod input: this will excite the envelope followers and “ping” the filters.⁠ We then patched its saw out to the parametric scanner CV input, and let the phase relationship do the rest!

  • TZFM Spectral Transferring

    BRENSO as carrier AND modulator! Here’s what’s happening:⁠ the yellow FINAL output is FUMANA’s carrier⁠, the green Saw output is FUMANA’s modulator⁠, BUT the yellow oscillator is also modulating the green one!⁠ So, the yellow oscillator is frequency-modulating the green one which in turn is performing spectral transferring over the Final waveform.⁠

  • New LEDs!

    We recently introduced a slightly different LED style with the BRENSO oscillator. Here’s how they look: This new system uses diffused LEDs, with opaque, colored lenses. We were testing different solutions to…
  • Timbre Randomness

    Sometimes it’s all about having fun. And with SAPÈL and BRENSO, it’s A LOT of fun!⁠ Simply patch the Random Clock out to the Ping input, then route the S&H out to the four Timbre parameters through the Timbre Modulation Bus.⁠ Then, sit back and enjoy this ever-changing rhythm!
