Did you know that you can use USTA as a quantizer?⁠

Ok, this is a fairly extreme use, but it works! Here’s how.⁠

The Pitch Shift function allows you to modulate your sequence via an external CV. However, such modulation:⁠

1) always happens BEFORE the quantization mask;⁠
2) it can happen WITHIN a stage, i.e., you can modulate the pitch whenever you want, without needing to wait until the end of the stage.⁠

If you set up a “blank” sequence and route any CV to a CV input, you can use such a track to quantize the CV to the desired root and scale, following the quantization rules you defined.⁠

INGREDIENTS

• 1 USTA
• 1 SAPÈL
• 1 BRENSO

DIRECTIONS

1. Patch any of SAPÈL’s random outputs to USTA’s CV A or B input.
2. Select a track and set all the stages’ length (except one) to zero.
3. Enter the track menu, scroll until the PitchShiftA option and assign it to the CV where you patched the SAPÈL signal.
4. Patch the current track’s CV A output to BRENSO’s V/oct input.
5. Patch any of the BRENSO’s output to your favorite output section.
   (Now USTA will quantize in real-time the random voltages generated by SAPÈL!)
