ECHOPHON : Make Noise's lost gem

video upload by Robotopsy Robotopsy

"Some of the most interesting sounds a machine can produce are often discovered through experimentation.

Using a series of simple patches, this video explores the Echophon's fundamental functions.
Pitch shifting, feedback, tempo-synchronized delays, and processed feedback paths."

"Exploring the QuBit Stardust and Data Bender. Two Hertz Donut mk III's provide melodic segment. The initial melody sampled and modified by the Startdust. Bass from 2600m. Drums from Flame Fire and Squarp Rample, processed by Ohm Force Ohmicide. H90 for drum delay/reverb. Intellijel Sea Legs and Swells for delay and reverb on main mixer (Xer Mixa). Drums and Hertz Donuts going to Data Bender. Vocal sample from Multigrain. Sequencing from Cirklon."

Bionic Lester MK1.5 : the Black Patchings

video upload by Robotopsy Robotopsy

"Short Audio Demo of the Bionic Lester MK1.5

Slightly Inspired by the Black Paintings of GOYA (nothing to do with this level)

Except for the first patch that contains sounds of Kicks
made with the Slew section of the King Slender
Every sound and samples involve the Bionic Lester MK1.5
Samples are all from feedback sessions
the Bionic Lester MK1.5 is such a playground!!!
Hope this short audio demo will please you"

Side note: I beleive the first mention of the Bionic Lester 1.5 was back in November.

Some additional details:

"This module is a special rerelease of the 'Mark 1' Bionic Lester circuit with the unreleased 'Mark 2' control layout. The Bionic Lester Mark 1 was first released in 2012, and only had one production run. It uses a rare switched-capacitor filter IC with multiple outputs and four operating modes. The character of the overdrive changes with each mode selection and all are distinctive.

DIFFERENCES FROM THE ORIGINAL MODULE:

Reverse power protection
Metal shaft pots, long life
this time ALL of the knobs are MK2 style
Resistor network and opamp package substitutions for compact PCB layout and greater manufacturability
Output mixer and A/B crossfader. A feature from the planned but never designed “Aggro Eddie” expander. Enables more elaborate feedback and overdrive patches.
Features:

Dual 12dB multimode filter
Based around rare and vintage switched capacitor filter IC
Rerelease of Bionic Lester MK1 circuit with MK2 interface and integrated Aggro Eddie mixer expander
Dual CV inputs for filter cutoff of each filter

"Just exploring some of the potential for mayhem provided by the Bionic Lester mk 1.5, Industial Music Electronics. A dual switched capacitor filter with output mixers, different clocking options and aliasing.

I chose the Type A filter chip which makes it closer to the original Bionic Lester. Some really brutal sounds in this thing."

The Zorlon Cannon | Dark Atari 2600 Tone Generation | The Harvestman | IME

video upload by Nostalgic Ruckus

"This module is pretty special. To give an idea of what is going on I tried to make it simple. In all of these patches the top mixer is the sound and the bottom mixer is the gates. The bottom mixer is firing gates that are triggering all four envelopes separately as an envelope or in burst mode on Quadrax. The top mixer outs are going into vcas. That is where the sound is coming from. There are four sounds in total coming from the mixer. When I say mixers I am talking about the outputs on the Zorlon Cannon. Quadrax is then modulating the vcas. Something to note. Quadrax when in burst mode (yellow lights) till the cycle ends it will block any of the gates incoming from the Zorlon Cannon till it ends its cycle. Think of it like a ping pong ball bouncing. It will not accept gates from the Zorlon Cannon till the final 'bounce'. This is why at first it may look like some of the gates are not matching up with the envelopes.

Probably the most fun I have had in modular in awhile. Up there with Mito and Dial up from Moffenzeef Modular as far as the fun factor."

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:

https://richarddevine.bandcamp.com/al...
https://cortini.bandcamp.com/album/ma...
https://surachai.bandcamp.com/album/m...

https://www.makenoisemusic.com/synthe..."

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:
