  • Pulse Shaper

    Here’s Brenso’s second waveshaper, and there’s a lot under the hood!⁠

  • Triangle Shaper

    The Triangle Shaper is the first part of BRENSO’s Timbre Section. It morphs the triangle wave to a quasi-sine and a sort of logarithmic waveform.

  • Phase Shift

    USTA allows you to use ANY CV to shift the phase of one sequence in relation to its clock. You can use a DC offset to obtain a more laid-back sound (if you feel like Dexter Gordon), or any random CV to add some non-destructive degree of unpredictability.⁠

  • Root Shift

    Time to play modal!⁠ The Root Shift is a modulation that takes any incoming CV and shifts the root of your quantization mask. The result is a dramatic change in the song mood, but if you route the same CV to the Pitch Shift modulation, you will transpose the whole scale!⁠⁠

  • Voice Spread #1

    We’ve seen the 333 as an audio mixer, but it does pretty well also with CVs!

  • Pitch Shift

    USTA features two independent CV inputs, whose signal can be internally routed to several destinations (independently per track, of course).

  • Quantization

    Blip-blops are fun, but what about playing actual melodies?⁠ The USTA sequencer allows you to quantize your sequence to a selected scale and root note. You can also choose the quantization direction!⁠

  • -6dB Switches

    The three sections of the 333 are semi-normalled, meaning that each one is routed to the first input of the following one. If you patch three sources to the second or third inputs of the three separate sections, you can combine the functions of the three -6dB switches, thus making the red section 1/4 lower than the green, and the yellow one 1/2.

  • Song Mode

    We’ve seen how to change the pattern loop settings, and how to recall other patterns on the fly temporarily, but there’s another option that let you organize your sequences in a fixed form: the Song Mode.

  • Sidechain #1

    In this patch, we’ll use the yellow envelope to control the decay of our kick drum. By inverting the envelope and adding an offset (with the 321), you can use it to sidechain other sounds (such as the bass, or the reverb). But what if you want to control the response time of the sidechain control? Correct, the slew limiter output!
