Frap Tools: Polyphony, Patch Cables and the Art of Modular Keyboard Play

Frap Tools, the Italian maestros of modular design, take centre stage with a deep-dive into building and performing a true polyphonic modular synth—one that can be played with a keyboard and sequenced simultaneously. In this video, Francesco Gennari reconstructs his track ‘Studio No.7’ from the ground up, revealing not just the patching intricacies but also the creative decisions behind each voice. Expect a blend of classic Frap Tools elegance, clever routing, and a healthy dose of formant oscillator wizardry, all aimed at those who see their modular as more than just a wall of drones. If you’ve ever wondered how

Frap Tools: Cross-FM, Fake Polyphony and Modular Mute Sorcery – A Performance Dissected

Frap Tools delivers another deep-dive into the modular trenches, this time with Francesco Gennari at the helm, dissecting a performance that’s equal parts technical showcase and creative experiment. The video unpacks the art of cross-FM using the Brenso oscillator, conjuring fake polyphony with the Verbos Multi Delay Processor, and wrangling mutes for maximum musical impact via the QSC mixer and Usta sequencer. Expect a patch breakdown that’s as much about clever modulation and routing as it is about raw sonic character—classic Frap Tools, with a focus on how each module shapes the performance.
