MakeNoise MultiMod | New Universal Synthesizer System | Episode 01

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The MultiMod is the first module in the New Universal Synthesizer System (NUSS), but also the first module designed by the new MakeNoise expanded development team. I am not sure, but it seems they managed to capture one of Moog's former lead designers who also contributed to the Muse. As always, expectations were high, but as always, MultiMod generously exceeded them.

Yes I know it's 'just' a digital mult with built in waveforms, and everything that comes in, goes out eightfold. It's either identical, like a true mult, or shifted in phase, reshaped or skewed. It can be clocked and frozen. I should have been impressed by having eight LFOs in various speeds and shapes but I know how to make music with those. In 2025, most of us do. However, running the MultiMod with audio rate signals is pure bliss. It's not advertised as such, I don't think MakeNoise even mentioned it in the manual or in their official videos which almost seems they've already seen an 'audio processor' in some secret office. I am speculating here, but a New Universe is bound to expand.

For me personally, biased and subjective, is one of the best effects you can get for your modular, even though it's not supposed to be one. The only thing I regret is ordering a second one for stereo crosspatching."
