Live Patching 9: Noise Oscillators and Polyrhythms with BRENSO, SAPÈL, and USTA

This episode is VERY relaxing! We used SAPÈL’s blue noise to modulate BRENSO’s frequency and add a very soothing lo-fi vibe to our sequence. Then, we blended it with some gates to create a gentle polyrhythm.

Live Patching 5: Double Drones with BRENSO, FUMANA and SAPÈL!

Making some kind of “music” without a sequencer wasn’t an easy task. But it was fun indeed! We managed to make two flip sync sounds and create a resonant drone, shaped by FUMANA and SAPÈL.

Clock Cross-Modulation #2

More messing around with USTA’s clock! Now CV B of track changes the clock tempo so that every stage has a different speed. It’s great for creating rubato and accelerando effects!⁠

Stage Shift Probability #3

We always showcased the stage shift function with a random S&H in sync with the current track.⁠ Now we play with different ratios: when the track is faster than the stage shift CV, USTA will play some sequence fragments before shifting again!

Stage Shift & Gates

The Stage Shift function doesn’t shift just the CV, but also the CV values: pair it with some green LEDs to recall some ratchets!

Clock Cross-Modulation #1

Today we want to mess around with that one thing you aren’t supposed to touch: THE CLOCK.⁠

Stage Shift Probability #2

The Stage Shift allows you to pick other stage values within the pattern – even from stages that you’re not playing! It can be nice to add a very controlled variation to your melody while still being able to get back to the original version.⁠
