Time for some advanced FALISTRI techniques! Today we’ll create a sort of arpeggiator out of nowhere. How? Thanks to the green generator’s alternative reset behavior! When it resets ‘on rest,’ its cycle needs to finish before starting again. If the rise and fall times are slower than the stream of trigs, it will skip a beat, thus dividing the frequency by 2, 3, 4, 5… By changing the rising and falling times, we can change the frequency division and play a sort of eerie arpeggio!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 FALISTRI
  • 1 BRENSO (or another oscillator)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Set your oscillator’s pitch very high.
  2. Set FALISTRI’s green generator to Transient mode and its time scale to Short.
  3. Set its reset behavior On Rest.
    (The switch is on the PCB!)
  4. Patch your oscillator’s square output to FALISTRI’s green Trig/Gate input.
  5. Patch FALISTRI’s green bipolar output to your favorite output section.
    (You’ll now hear the oscillator’s pitch, but the timbre will come from Falistri.)
  6. Gently increase the Rise and Fall times.
    (You’ll notice the timbre getting fatter, until the frequency will drop by an octave, then a fourth, then another octave, then a minor third… This is the subharmonic series.)
  7. Set the yellow generator to Loop and its time scale to Long.
  8. Patch the yellow attenuated output to FALISTRI’s V/oct input.
    (It will skim through the frequency divisions and create fascinating arpeggios!)
