The legend of BRENSO’s pulse-width modulation
PWM is a huge part of everyday electronics, but it is also a classic synth sound, to the point it reached a cult (if not meme) status.
A Eurorack oscillator like BRENSO wouldn’t have been completed without a PWM section, and today we’re exploring it in detail. It might not be the most obvious feature, since it is nestled into the timbre modulation section, but it is capable of wild timbres.

Understanding CUNSA’s gain staging: VCA, character, Q, mixer
In another video we shed some light on the basis of gain staging. Today, we’ll put them into practice with our CUNSA filter!

What are modes and why they’re all over the USTA sequencer
We started from the overtone series and we arrived at Western tonal harmony. However, we left something behind: the modes. In today’s video, we’ll see what they are, and why they seem such a vague concept.

The wonderful world of gain staging, or: how to balance your Eurorack signals
Today we’ll introduce the topic of gain staging because yes. We’ll explore the concepts of gain versus volume, headroom, and saturation. We’ll also do some examples, like how to interface a modular synth with guitar pedals and how to interface a guitar with a modular synthesizer. At the end, a bonus tip on saturation.

What is tonal harmony and why it is relevant to the USTA sequencer
Tonal harmony might sound super old and boring but it’s never going to die, whether we like it or not! In this video, we will see what it is and why it might be worth a chance with the USTA sequencer.

How does BRENSO generate its wave forms and how to win an extra analog sawtooth!
Today we’ll explore BRENSO’s core, its generation circuits, and by the end we’ll add an extra waveform to the stock ones!

Notes, intervals, tuning, temperament: the basics of music and their impact on the USTA sequencer
In the previous video, we got a glimpse of how notes and overtones are related. Today, we’ll see how we came to 12 notes in the West.

What are overtones and why they might be more important than you imagine
Today’s topic ties together notes, harmony, tuning, timbre, and even more. It’s the overtones, and this is our introduction!

Why notes exist
Let’s talk about notes and why sometimes it’s not clear how we’re supposed to tune our instruments. What is A4? What is middle C? Why is there a C-1?

Frequency Modulation Part 2: (Through-Zero) Linear FM
Today we dive into one of the greatest topics of modular synthesis: Linear FM. What is Through-Zero? What is the difference between linear and exponential FM? How can we use it for sound design? All these questions and many more will find an answer in today’s video!
