Buchla LEM 218e V3 | With MakeNoise Strega, DXG and the Shared System B&G plus.

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"This is probably my first and last genuine banana Buchla 'module' because I really want to stick to Eurorack. But since I love Westcoast synthesis a lot, I think it's a must-have keyboard for anyone serious about MakeNoise, the Buchla/TTA 200T series and any brand that gets inspired by Don Buchla designs (e.g. Frap, Verbos, Serge eurorack). I tried so many keys, controllers, pads, etc, but most of them require MIDI to CV and most of them are designed for polyphonic MIDI with a few extra CV outs. The LEM218e is the orginal keyboard for the Buchla Easel from 1973. It may not be perfect, but it's perfect for the music I love most."

Aurelia | Kaitlyn's Easel Patch on the MakeNoise Shared System

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Nine years ago (time flies) Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith posted one of the most inspiring Buchla patches ever created [links below], puzzling and inspiring the Buchla community from all over the world. Maybe this is the fist video that brings the recipe to Eurorack and the Shared System is a great system to try and cook it. While Kaitlyn's patch is haute cuisine, this is a bit closer to fast food thanks to Rene V2. It's not exactly an Easel keyboard, but a patch like this makes you realize how powerful it really is once you get your head around it. It can turn any CV source into an arpeggio. I am using Brains to sequence good ol' Pressure Points, but since Rene is doing all the heavy lifting, you'll have plenty of time to add some personal expression."

Make Noise Retires the Shared System

Tony Talks Shared System | Make Noise video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"As we begin to ship the final production run of the Black & Gold Shared System Plus, Tony sits down to reminisce on its origins and history, and also to answer your Shared System questions from our various social media channels!

Three of the five Shared System Series artists host the records digitally on their Bandcamp pages:

Update:

Press release follows, including a pic of the original Shared System followed by the black and gold.


"After more than a decade of production, the Shared System is being retired, with its final run currently shipping to dealers worldwide.

The Shared System was originally designed in 2012 as a self-contained instrument which was mailed to artists to create music for the Shared System series of 7” records on Make Noise Records. The Shared System was then officially released after the records later in 2012, updated in 2015 as the Black & Gold Shared System and again in 2017 as the Black & Gold Shared System Plus.

The Shared System is the deepest and most complex of our systems, bringing together many of our synthesis techniques into one system. From analog FM to voltage controlled granularization, the Shared System goes to more sound destinations than most folks have time to travel to in a single lifetime. While this marks the end for the Shared System’s production, the instrument will provide an endless source of inspiration for years to come. As always, we cannot wait to hear what you create with yours!

To commemorate the Shared System’s retirement, we have posted a new video to our YouTube channel ('Tony Talks Shared System'), in which Make Noise founder Tony Rolando sits down to reminisce on the origins and history of the Shared System.

While the original Shared System records are long out of print, three of the five Shared System Series artists currently host their Make Noise Records releases digitally on their Bandcamp pages and can be heard via the links below:

MAKEN0ISE: A Tale of Two Systems

"Tony and Walker each recorded some music on the original Shared System from the Shared System Record Series in 2012-13, and also recorded some music on a modern Black & Gold Shared System Plus. After listening to each other's recordings they sat down to have a conversation about the whole experience.

Shared System Tutorials | Part 41 | Stereo Pulsewidth Modulation

video upload by

"This is a Shared System tutorial, but if you have a Maths, a squarewave and a pingable stereo filter, you're in business. MakeNoise has just announced the XPO - Xtreme Prismatic Oscillator on Perfect Circuit where Tony Rolando discussed his vision of Stereo Pulsewidth Modulation (PWM). The DPO doesn't have pulsewidth CV so at first sight it's not possible on the Shared. But we have Maths! I already covered PWM in episode 35 of this series which also includes variable waveshapes and really extends the timbres of the DPO.

Tony recommended QPAS as the XPO's patching buddy, so I've included QPAS and Mimeophon in my layout. The results were amazing and now I can't wait for XPO to arrive. But in the meantime, have fun with your Shared!

The footage quality of this video is a bit mixed and sometimes even out of focus. I had such a great audio take at the end and just couldn't repeat it so I had no choice but to improvise/edit with a less sharp video."

Shared System Tutorials | Episode 39 | Patching a Drum Machine

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I uploaded this one as episode 40 yesterday, but I am not there yet. It's episode 39. In this episode I'll revisit a few techniques from previous episodes to create drum sounds. You can use the double sinewaves from DPO and the Optomix LPG to create all kinds of kicks and toms, but you'd need noise & FM to create hats, bells and snares. You'd need to make your own noise (or add a Telharmonic). Since the Shared System is basically a two voice mono synth, you can use Morphagene to create layers and build an alien drum machine. A dedicated module is much easier, but synthesizing your own has its charms too!"

Shared System Tutorials | Episode 33 | 2-Operator FM

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"I never really knew what an FM 'operator' was so when I found out I wanted to share it. An FM operator is a combo of s sinewave, a VCA and an envelope. We can then use these 'operators' to interact with eachother in different settings called algorithms. The Shared System can offer two mono operators with DPO, Maths and the Moddemix VCA (or Optomix LPG). So we're still a long way from organs and electric piano's. But you can't patch an organ :). Have fun!"

SIBLING RIVALRY - (Make Noise Black and Gold Shared System + Little Sister System)

Published on May 5, 2020 Luke Sanger

"Having used the Shared System for a good few years now, I felt it was time to expand it a bit and put together a little sister system, containing some of their newer stereo modules. Inspiration for the piece comes from learning some olde folk songs on the acoustic guitar and wanting to try and translate those progressions to the synth.
