Overview and Frequencies | BRENSO Tutorial pt. 1

Part 2: • Timbre and Amplitude M...
The first part of our in-depth BRENSO tutorial is here! First, we'll do an overview of the complex oscillator, explaining its design and its architecture. Then, we'll dive into the first section, the Frequency one! In the next episodes, we'll explore the Timbre and Amplitude Modulation sections, and we'll expand the concepts of Thru-Zero FM.

Thank you for this series. Brenso's manual is a difficult manual to follow, so seeing this tutorial has made it a lot easier to understand. I'm looking forward to the next part of the series.

[@FrapTools]

Glad it helped! ❤️

[@martin-krzywinski]

By far the classiest design in Eurorack right now. All Frap modules look like they're from the future and ooze quality.

[@FrapTools]

Thank you so much Martin, this truly means a lot!

[@mikeleuz]

Thank you! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@FrapTools]

Thank you!

[@mrcwalker33]

Wow, this escalated quickly into awesomeness!

My Brenso arrived in the post 10 min ago. How considerate of you to post this to coincide!

[@FrapTools]

Haha thank you! ❤️

@@FrapTools Alright, it’s been a week with the Brenso now and I’m really enjoying it. I have spent a fair amount of time over the past year working to understand FM synthesis, both in VCV rack and with my small analog modular case. Turning to Brenso has been a pleasant revelation in how warm and subtle FM can really be. The way you’ve done the routing and the clarity of the routing controls is just so nice. Looking forward to upcoming videos on the timbre and AM sections!

I fucking love this oscillator

[@jonasiv3587]

Great video! I love my brenso but the manual is a bit difficult to understand. This made things a lot clearer for me. Many thanks!

[@FrapTools]

Glad it was helpful! 🔥

[@Derrick_Evans]

Thanks for this Brenso is for sure a harder module to grasp for me. Once it’s really explained in sections and what symbols mean it makes more sense.

[@FrapTools]

As every musical instrument, it need some practice, but generally the efforts are rewarding!

[@Silkynight]

Can’t wait for the WAVEFOLDER section to be covered

[@FrapTools]

Thank you! We're shooting it right now 💥

[@NedBouhalassaVideos]

So helpful! I love this beautiful instrument and its enormous potential. 5/5

[@FrapTools]

Thank you, Ned!

[@elementlab41]

Fantastic! Cannot wait for part 2!!!!

[@FrapTools]

It's on its way, just a matter of days!

[@nectariosm]

@@FrapTools is part 2 coming? Interested for the FM details. Actually I saw part 2 (timber & amplitude)...we need a part 3 showing FM!

[@Nick-kb6jd]

Hey this is awesome.....plz put out the other videos soon........specifically on the white section. That still confuses me. Thanks so much.

[@FrapTools]

Thank you! Yes, we're working on it and we'll upload everything ASAP!

[@Nick-kb6jd]

@@FrapTools look forward to it (them)

[@seanimal_rex]

when we get a warning that something might lead to undesirable results, the raddest noises are about to happen

[@FrapTools]

Haha true! It might not be the sound you desire, but it's the sound you need
