Frap Tools: Wiring a Grand Piano into the Modular Matrix

Frap Tools takes us on a meticulous journey into the world of electroacoustic composition, where the elegant resonance of a Yamaha C3 grand piano is woven into the fabric of a modular synth patch. In this detailed walkthrough, Francesco Gennari demonstrates how acoustic and electronic elements can be made to converse, not merely coexist, using a host of Frap Tools modules and some carefully chosen extras. The video is a masterclass in routing, modulation, and sonic layering, offering a rare glimpse into the mechanics of integrating traditional instruments with the modular ecosystem. For those who think patch cables and piano

Frap Tools: Modular Choreography with Jerome Begin – A Composer’s Patchwork for Dance

In this episode from Frap Tools, we’re treated to a deep dive with Jerome Begin, a seasoned composer whose journey from piano lessons in Ohio to modular synth performances for contemporary dance is anything but ordinary. Begin unpacks his approach to integrating modular synthesis into choreography, revealing the practical and philosophical intersections between music, movement, and technology. The conversation is as much about patch cables and filters as it is about the expressive potential of live electronics alongside acoustic instruments. For anyone curious about how modular rigs can underpin hour-long dance pieces—or what happens when you let a Kunis filter

Frap Tools: Dissecting Stereo Dyads and Modular Choreography in Studio No. 2

Frap Tools returns with a deep-dive into modular composition, as Francesco Gennari unpacks his latest étude, “Studio No. 2.” This video is a rare treat for anyone obsessed with stereo imaging, as Gennari demonstrates the art of crafting two-note dyads that dance across the stereo field. From piano sketches to a fully realised Eurorack patch, the walkthrough covers everything from using filters as oscillators to sequencing evolving patterns with the USTA. Expect a meticulous breakdown of patching, modulation, and the integration of external effects, all delivered with Frap Tools’ signature attention to sonic detail and workflow.

Frap Tools: Crafting Dynamic Stereo with Cunsa and Fumana

Frap Tools, the Italian maestros of modular design, return with a patching technique that brings together their Cunsa and Fumana modules for a stereo experience that’s both wide and precise. In this video, Giovanni demonstrates how to spread a mono signal across the stereo field while keeping the low end firmly anchored in the centre—a trick that’s as practical as it is sonically satisfying. The approach leans on Fumana’s odd/even band outputs and Cunsa’s flexible filtering, showing how these modules interact to sculpt a mix-ready sound. Expect a deep dive into filter routing, modulation, and the sort of patch logic

Frap Tools Turns the Tables: Feeding Filters into Oscillators for Sonic Mayhem

Frap Tools, the Italian maestros of modular design, take a classic patching paradigm and flip it on its head in this video. Instead of the usual oscillator-into-filter routine, they demonstrate what happens when you send a filter’s output into an oscillator—using their own CUNSA filter and BRENSO oscillator modules. The result? A journey into unconventional FM territory, with cross-modulation, pinged filters, and a taste of creative chaos. If you’re curious about how filters can become modulation sources and want to see just how far you can push a Eurorack setup, this demo is a must-watch.

Frap Tools CUNSA: Unconventional Filter Patching Explored

Frap Tools, the Italian maestros of modular design, take their CUNSA filter for a spin off the beaten path in this video. Instead of sticking to classic filtering, they dive into stereo manipulation, triggers as audio, and gates as modulators, showing just how versatile a filter module can be in a Eurorack setup. The patching is hands-on and exploratory, with a strong emphasis on modulation, semi-normalled connections, and creative routing. If you’re the sort who wonders what happens when you patch a gate into a resonance input, this demonstration is right up your alley. The video’s spirit is all about
