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.

Antonio’s hidden random clock trick for SAPÈL!
Let’s extract a secret random clock output that plays only when the actual random clock is silent. The trick is simple but insanely effective!

At last: the Krell Patch on a Frap Tools modular system!
It’s time to confront ourselves with a pinnacle of modular synth techniques: Todd Barton’s Krell Patch.

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.

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!

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.

Four tips to make random clocks and clock bursts with SAPÈL
SAPÈL has two built-in clocks that run independently. (Un)fortunately, a clock runs steadily, but sometimes we might want unpredictable timing. Today we see how to do it!

Four ideas for using the USTA sequencer with random clocks
As per request here’s a video where we explore USTA’s behavior in a bunch of random-clock scenarios.

Modular Expressiveness ep. 3: Agogic (or, Messing Around with the Clock)
This time we deal with a tricky topic which is often taken for granted: the clock. We will explore a couple of agogic trick that add expressiveness through clock and phase manipulation. Do you play with the clock, or you keep it safe from modulations? Let us know!

Ratcheting S&H
Sometimes you can think of USTA’s gate outputs as a modulation source rather than just a stream of impulses to fire some envelopes.
In this patch, we used them to clock SAPÈL’s yellow generator so that one new gate = one new random voltage. We also set the gates to the green color to create a denser rhythm on top of our melody.
