This is beautiful. I wish all 'product demos' were actually like this one. Sure it can do 'things', but how useful is it? This video has sold me on an USTA, i just have to save up for one now. Thank you for your videos!
Thanks man! Glad it was helpful!
Just got the Usta and your video really got me started. Awesome bit of kit and you have show me so much that is possible. Thank you.
I love, love Astungkara, it is such a beautiful piece of music, I often have it on heavy rotation at home. I also love your "how I use" tutorial videos, thanks again Rayhan!
Cheers Cam! Glad you enjoy it!
Just checked out your Spotify and I love it man. I think it’s really cool when modular artists have their own style and sound. Every track I listened to has it and it’s unique!
Thanks man, glad you like them!
Wow what an awesome piece you ended with! Looking forward to the next episodes!
Thanks, more to come!
This was extremely informative. Really shows that this device has a lot of capabilities for composing tonal music. I really like the rotary encoders with the LED displays. Seems a lot more useful for this style of music than, say, a sequencer with linear faders that don't show the reality of what's going on as you switch from track to track. Thanks for doing this video.
That's what I am thinking. The endless rotary encoders give me a lot of inspiration! Thanks for the comment!
Hi, also love your "How I Use" series. So informative. Keep it coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Really great demo! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Nice, thanks 😊
You are welcome 😊
Great channel and Music :)
Thanks!
Wohoop great tutorial! I got my usta a week ago. Seems really deep but also instantly very rewarding and jammable. So much fun to just start up a simple sequence and make it evolve into a full song. Have to check out more of your stuff, I just love Gamelan music. 🙈❤ Did you load your own custom gamelan scales into USTA?
Great to hear, Jonas! Yep, I loaded my own scale there. It's extremely useful. Have you tried that feature?
What is that insanely beautiful bell sound coming from? Thanks your videos! Keep them up!
Glad you like them, it's called Gamelan!
@ are you playing that Gamelan from a sampler? Or some kind of physical modeling thing?
I have the vector sequencer and it is honestly kind of similar.
I haven't tried it. I bet it is also great!
Thank you for a great tutorial, I’m extremely interested in usta, I really like the aesthetics, and everything about it, I’m saving up to buy one. I’m looking at reviews, and the manual, and I can find how the probability can give me ratchets and random cv, but I can’t find if it can turn on, or of a stage or gate with probability. Can this be done, sorry noob question, thanx again for great tutorial
Thanks and apologise for the late reply! Would please elaborate the question again? Do you mean you want to active or inactive the randomisation?
really nice track! may i ask how you achived the jumping between the steps seen at 14:25
Thanks! It's Stage Shift.
I'm just starting to play with this. So fun.
But it seems that some quantized CV notes, are output as the same note, if the neighboring encoder(s) are too close to eachother..... like, 3 encoder lights is the same note as 4 encoder lights.
Is this due to the available notes in the chosen scale ?.... or some other reason ?
I don't encounter that in my USTA. I think it depends from your quantised scale, for example a minor pentatonic which consist from 5 notes.
Is there an easy way while in edit mode pattern mode to hear another pattern you are editing? you can rotate the primary encoder to see the different pattern. the only way to actually here is to go to performance mode and change the pattern loop to the new pattern? isn't there anything more simple or am I just confused and am asking for something that is just not how it works? It just seems a bit inconvenient imo. or I am missing some option in the docs yet. any help. thanks! :)
Hi! Yeah I think you're right about that; only that way at the moment. FT is having a seminar about USTA. Have you considered to register? The information is on their website.
I noticed that (in CV mode, one channel)...sometimes the same number of encoder LEDs are lit, but you (and me) get different notes.....even though the exact same number of LED's are lit.
Yes, it is because I use two layers of improvisation, the green and blue mode.
