BRENSO’S Fake VCA

If we run out of VCAs (and we do…) we like to push BRENSO a little bit further and use its red section! By using all the four quadrants and a unipolar envelope, we can obtain quite a realistic VCA (even if it’s technically a four-quadrant multiplier).⁠

Snappppy Expo FM

Let’s get some clicky percussive sounds through BRENSO’s exponential FM input – it’s DC coupled, so we can patch envelopes to it!⁠

USTA Multitempo #1

This is a patch that could play for HOURS! USTA’s four tracks can play at different BPM values, and sometimes it can be really nice to shift everything by one BPM only.

Unbalanced Wavefolding

Today we played with the Symmetry parameter of BRENSO’s wavefolder section!⁠

FM With Non-Sine Waves

BRENSO’s Through-Zero FM circuit is built on semi-normalizations, but we can break them at any time and combine FM with waveshapers and wavefolders. Here’s a brief example!⁠

Amplitude Modulation #2

Another use of #BRENSO’s red section! Patch any CV to its input and use it as a sort of VCA (just like FALISTRI’s four-quadrant multiplier)⁠.

Reverb Feedback #2

Ok, this is a little risky… Instead of using the group FX section, try to patch the FX return to another channel, and then play with this channel’s FX send. You’ll create a very dangerous feedback loop that can also provide some gentle overtones! If you have a QSC, you can even achieve this without a group by using its internal FX mono output.

Safe Solo

By linking more channels, you can “safely” arrange a section to solo through the solo-in-place switches or buttons, then use the Safe Solo switch on the group modules to put that into practice. You can also think of it as a multi-mute tool!

Pan/Crossfade #2

The first and last channels of the QSC feature a voltage-controllable panpot, just like the C channel. However, by combining this feature with the pan/crossfade switch, you can obtain a voltage-controlled crossfader! In this patch, we demonstrate both behaviors with the same CV, a bipolar LFO coming from FALISTRI’s green generator.

Fake Analog And

By patching unipolar gates such as the two EOFs to FALISTRI’s four-quadrant multiplier, it outputs a gate-high signal only when both its inputs are high. It can be very useful in non-standard rhythmic patches!
