On counterpoint, cross-FM, and analog+digital timbres | Studio no. 5 performance & patch breakdown

video upload by Frap Tools

Today Francesco explores one of the harshest timbres ever created by mankind: the cross-FM. And if that wasn't enough, he will use both digital AND analog FM at the same time, blending Brenso and Hertz Donut mk. 1. How can we tame such wild beasts? Through a careful composition in the spirit of the great counterpoint masters.

"Welcome to our first Sound Pack for Multigrain - Intellijel HQ Sounds.

Download the Intellijel HQ Sound Pack now:
https://intellijel.com/go/intellijel-...

Back in March (2025), we were finishing work on Multigrain - getting it ready for launch in April. In the search for factory content, we decided to literally use our own factory... for content.

Armed with a couple of mic's and a field recorder, we set about recording every day sounds here at the office. Unfortunately, those sounds never got packaged in time for the release.

Fast forward to August - we've now revived this Sound Pack for you to add to your Multigrain. Hope you enjoy it!

Notes on the Kick drum in patch two:
Mod clock out from Metropolix (/4) gates the Kick
Sound path is VCO 1U → SVF 1U → Dual VCA 1U → Stereo Mix 1U
Tangrams shapes VCO pitch, SVF frequency and VCA amplitude"
