Pattern Shift

On the USTA sequencer, the Pattern Shift function allows you to change the pattern order with external CV, but still within the Pattern Loop of your choice!

Timbre Mod VCA and Self Modulation

You can break the internal semi-normalization and patch any AC or DC input to the Timbre Modulation Bus!

USTA Clock Out

That’s exactly how it sounds like – this tiny little trick allows you to have a clock output straight out of a USTA’s Gate output, regardless of how syncopated your melody was!

Varishift

Variating variations for advanced minimalism! Use the Varishift control to change the probability that the stage values will change, and add even more unpredictability to your patches.

Flip-Flop Flip Sync

Everybody loves the harmonic series! We like it so much, that we wanted to beef it up with some sub-octaves. We made our synced-oscillator sing its song, too!⁠

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!
