CUNSA v/s FUMANA: The same patch on two different filters!
A few years ago we animated a bass line through Fumana for a short video. It was a cool experiment, so we decided to do a step-by-step guide. And then we thought that it would be fun to replicate the same patch concept on Cunsa, a totally different filter that shares with Fumana basically just the size. Which one do you prefer, if any?

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.

A patch inspired by sympathetic strings with FUMANA
This FUMANA patch draws inspiration straight from sympathetic strings, a device that can be found on many instruments like the European nyckelharpa or the Indian sitar.

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!

Remaking a through-zero FM patch with some extra undertones
While archiving some footage, we stumbled across a very cool patch, so we chose to recreate it on this larger system here!

The heaviest distortions we can get so far (with no distortion modules)
Time for some heavy riffs today! We tried to bend our system to achieve the heaviest distortion ever. Which, since we don’t have a distortion unit, was quite a challenge!

Wiggly LFOs on the BRENSO (credit: Make Noise)
We’re using an offset to throw the yellow oscillator at sub-audio rate and use the timbre modulation section to create some weird-shaped LFOs. We further expanded it through FUMANA, USTA, and FALISTRI.

Tips for using SAPÈL as… An oscillator
There’s this unwritten rule of modular synthesizers that says: if it goes fast enough, then it’s an oscillator. We just made it up, but it pretty much describes this video. We threw SAPÈL as fast as it could go and saw if it can handle the oscillator’s job! Check out the results.

Adding depth to a sound through FUMANA and FALISTRI’s quadrature | Live Patching 21
Quadrature mode is something that we tend to overlook and we’re glad to have had to incorporate it in a patch. Pairing it with FUMANA adds an exceptional depth to the sound and makes a simple sequence really gain complexity.

Another trip to the East Coast, but this time with FUMANA and FALISTRI!
We have neither a VCF nor an ADSR, but we have FUMANA and FALISTRI. While not being specifically designed for this purpose, they can get very close. Let’s take a look!
