flight of harmony Infernal Noise Machine (INM-E) Eurorack Module on Kickstarter

First announced in July, and featured in a few posts, flight of harmony's Infernal Noise Machine (INM-E) Eurorack Module is now on Kickstarter.

The original Infernal Noise Machine was in desktop form (pictured below) and has been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH over the years. You can see the prototype here. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails had one as seen here.

The following is some info pulled from the Kickstarter (be sure to click through for more):

"The Infernal Noise Machine is actually the first device ever created at f(h), back in 2007. Designed as a standalone, or "desktop " device. It was later released in multiple limited-run batches over the years, with all available units sold out during preorder each time."

"What is it?

The Infernal Noise Machine is a sound synthesizer, not a music synthesizer.

It was designed towards the creation of noise, sound effects, and for the general field of sound design. Having said that, the INM can create a full range of “musical” tones and sound, but that was not the primary goal. It can be used completely independently, but is intended for use with external control voltage (CV) sources to affect or modulate various parameters, which is where the INM truly comes alive.

So what can you do with it? Incidental sounds and ambiances, unholy caterwauling, soundscapes from melancholy to manic, even percussion and traditional musical sounds. The Infernal Noise Machine is particularly effective for making drones that evolve with time, with no external sources required. The internal architecture allows for a wide range of self-evolving, beat-frequency style tonal variations over an infinite range of rates. There is really no simple way to describe what the INM can do – you have to find out for yourself. This is a unique device. It requires a bit of time and patience to get a feel for how it works, but it is worth the effort."

"The new Infernal Noise Machine has the same sound, features, and potential as the original, but has been completely redesigned and refined. Each format brings its own needs and possibilities, so the system has been expanded to allow even more utility than the original, while keeping it as compact as feasible without impacting the philosophy behind the design."

"In this video, we demonstrate a song made using the INM-E and show how the patches were made for each component. All audio is generated by the INM-E, using various other modules to control the parameters.

Our eternal gratitude to Erik Tinberg for creating this video."

Upcoming Eurorack Infernal Noise Machine - INM-E LFO test

flightofharmony

"Testing the LFO in the upcoming eurorack Infernal Noise Machine. Self-patching only, no external devices used.
The audio track de-synched a bit and I corrected it as best as I could. I'm still figuring out how to record with my new setup... much frustration, yes."

Flight of Harmony Sound of Shadows Kit Prototype Demo

Published on Nov 1, 2019 flightofharmony

Sound of Shadows

"While testing a final prototype of the upcoming Sound of Shadows eurorack module Kit I found some really good examples of what the SoS can do, so I grabbed my phone and recorded a few minutes.

Connections:
Input is a ±5Vp-p (ish) triangle wave from my ancient Function Generator. The frequency is swept by the FG's internal ramp oscillator.
Output goes directly to studio monitors.
The blue CV input cable is from the aforementioned ramp oscillator in the FG.
Audio and video captured by my ancient Samsung Note 3.
No other equipment involved.

Apologies for the shaky video and general haphazardness, this was spur-of-the-moment.

The SoS is *not* a clean delay; that's not the point. : )"

Final Run of Flight of Harmony Quad Plague Bearer

via Flight of Harmony

"Flight of Harmony is taking pre-orders for the last ten Quad Plague Bearer stand-alone units. These units are based on the v3.3 circuit boards and will feature inverted graphics (aluminum on black, like the Sound of Shadows module)."

USD$350.00+ Shipping & Handling

For those not familiar with the Quad Plague Bearer:

"What is the Quad Plague Bearer Desktop Unit?

It is four independent Plague Bearers housed together to infect, corrupt and pervert a signal beyond recognition.

It contains four Voltage-Controlled Resonant Bandpass filters that were designed with the goals of maximum signal alteration and maximum parameter control. Each filter has controls for varying the high and low corner frequencies of the pass band, as well as variable gain and an input attenuator. Each section of the Plague Bearer can be used as a filter, an oscillator, a noise generator, or even as a resonance oscillator!

Depending on the settings, the filter can be a lowpass, highpass, single-bandpass, or multiple-bandpass. Adjusting the resonance point can cause the filter to self-oscillate in many ways: By adjusting the controls to just below the point of oscillation, and then applying a pulse, square, or other abrupt-edged input signal waveform will “ring” the filter. A simple “click” on the input can give a percussive output sound – from bass drum to bell to a harsh metallic clang; Crank the controls up and this beast will scream like a banshee! The oscillation can be damped or continuous. Chain a couple in series and get accumulating feedback – the build-up can be slow, fast or instantaneous. White Noise is easy to do – you don’t even need an input signal! Turn the input all the way down, and then slowly turn the gain up. You can adjust the “color” of the noise with the frequency controls. Daisy-chaining multiple filters can give a “comb” or multi-phase noise. About phase-shift characteristics: A single filter can give a STRONG chorus effect if so desired, useful as a sub-oscillator or just to 'fatten' a sound."

"The lead sound here was inspired by Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack. 2 x Pitts saws going into a boogie filter, pitts delay and erbe-verb. Drones come from an e340 and pitts DNA one of them going through a plague bearer the other a springray reverb. Lead bleeps and blips come from an E350 sequenced by a pitts sequencer and disting quantizer. (XY and Z outs panned hard left and right, passing through a wasp and polivoks filter). tiptop drums"

T-t-talk to me - An Echophon, Planar and Ribbonz demo

Published on Feb 8, 2014 HardScienceAV

"I just got the Make Noise Echophon and decided to give it a go. This is the result of my first patch. Thought I'd make a video of my experience :)

Here's a basic breakdown: The Flame Talking Synth is going into the Echophon input. I took the aux out of the Echophon into the FoH Sound of Shadows and fed both Echophon and SOS outputs into the Fontronik MH01. There's a lot of modulation going on. The Talking Synth has all of its parameters controlled by the Monde Ribbonz (the ribbon controller at the bottom that you've never seen before) and the Echophon has most of it's parameters controlled by the Intellijel Planar joystick and the ZBK (the big knob in the middle!).

The video was then processed with the LZX Industries video synth.

"Construct 11" - (Phonogene + TR808 drums)

Published on Jun 17, 2014 Strange UFO Music·48 videos

"I have completed assembling my 6U size (2 rows of 84hp) eurorack modular setup. There's room for future expansion, but there's plenty that can be done with this smaller modular set up.

For the recording, I extracted drum parts from my previous video called "Enigma 19", in which that track was in 19/16 time. This track turned into something new, beginning in 11/8, with using the Phonogene Only modules used in making of this track were the Make Noise Phonogene, Doepfer A124 & A130, and Flight of Harmony "Sound of Shadows". In addition, recorded in 3 tracks stereo, mixed and multitracked.

btw: For the 808 officinados out there. The tr808 drum sounds were actually recorded from the Roland SC-55 Sound Canvas. The SC-55 does have a pleasing 808 kit, and you can pick up those modules for very low cost."

"Tip Top Cafe 2" - Z8000 + 4ms RCD + FOH Shadows

Published on Jun 12, 2014 Strange UFO Music·46 videos

A 2nd variation of the original main theme. Totally different in form and time structures, derived from the same melodic notes in first version. This time making use of the 4ms Rotating Clock Divider, and delay effects from the Flight of Harmony's "the Sound of Shadows" module, and again made use of the Make Noise Maths v2, Analogue Solutions VCO Sub, and Doepfer A124 Wasp VCF.

Pictures showing modular under construction. Rearranging to make spaces for the remaining modules (arriving soon) to fill in the rest of this 2 row space. Followed by some more artistic images of the Tip Top Z8000 Matrix Sequencer / Programmer.

Hope you enjoy, Thanks for listening!
