Memes aside, let’s make Sandstorm by Darude on our Frap Tools system
Yeah, drones and experimental stuff are fine, but sometimes we only need a four-on-the-floor kick and an uplifting synth lead. Sandstorm by @darude has both so we thought we may give it a go on our Frap Tools system! The modules we mostly used are our Brenso and Cunsa. In this video, Cunsa performs three tasks: a filter for the bass line, a kick drum, and a distortion effect for the lead. Quite flexible!

‘Glass sounds‘ analog through-zero FM patch breakdown with Brenso and Cunsa!
As per request, here’s a patch breakdown of this short video: https://youtube.com/shorts/_wP8aJU8gxU
It’s a super crystalline sound thanks to Brenso’s through-zero FM, and we took it a bit further by adding the Cunsa filter, which we didn’t have back when the short clip was filmed.
Got more requests? Let us know in the comments! -

Let’s make a modular synth patch in the style of Ryoji Ikeda
Ikeda’s style is famous for its austere structure and meticulously carved sounds. Such precision is achievable in the digital domain, so it may thus sound a bit odd to emulate it with a modular synthesizer, which by definition is “less reliable” than a computer.

Let’s make a sample-and-hold feedback patch à la Rob Hordijk.
Let’s make some serious SAPÈL feedback patching! Today we draw inspiration from Rob Hordijk’s talks about sample-and-hold circuits and chaos theory.

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.

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!

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!

Recreating the pitch and phase shift patch on the USTA sequencer
Today we dive more into a recently published short patch where we used the pitch shift and phase shift functions of the USTA sequencer. We then proceeded to expand it thanks to the larger system here!
