Frap Tools Bagài: Turning Aliasing into Analogue Alchemy

Aliasing is usually the bane of digital audio, but Frap Tools flips the script with Bagài, an all-analogue module that weaponises this artefact for creative sound design. In their latest video, Frap Tools demonstrates how Bagài’s sample and hold circuit, paired with flexible clocking and bit crushing, transforms unwanted digital grit into a palette of evolving textures and modulation sources. As ever, Frap Tools’ approach is both methodical and musical, offering a glimpse into how a well-designed utility can become the secret sauce in a modular patch. If you thought aliasing was just a digital nuisance, this demo might just

Frap Tools Usta: Sequencing the Emerson Trick – Modular Mayhem in Motion

Frap Tools, the Italian maestros of modular design, take a deep dive into the art of recreating Keith Emerson’s legendary Karn Evil 9 sequencer stunt using their Usta sequencer. Rather than chasing note-for-note accuracy, this video zeroes in on the mechanics of programming a sequence that accelerates into audio-rate chaos and then stops itself—no frantic knob twiddling required. Expect a patch-oriented exploration, with the Usta’s multi-track flexibility, voltage slides, and clever gate tricks all put to the test. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your modular rig to pull off a self-destructing, Emerson-style climax, this is a must-watch.
