Make Noise Introduces the Jumbler

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

Press release follows:

Make Noise is proud to announce Jumbler!!

"With Jumbler..., we jumble one or we jumble many."

Jumbler is a six by six channel analog signal combiner and distributor for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular synthesizer. Jumble is one of the New Universal Synthesizer System concepts where the routings of a patch could be re-configured, or jumbled, instantly via voltage control to produce variations on a theme.

Jumbler gives you powerful two-parameter access to the rearrangement of both origins and destinations for up to six modular signals. One to six inputs are routed to one to six outputs, in an order determined by the Rotate control, and combination determined by the Radiate control. Unlike a simple switch module, Jumbler’s analog VCA-based design is specially geared for smooth transitions and hybrid signals.

Jumbler is a great module for hybrid control voltage mashing, complex waveform mixing, on-the-fly effects re-routing, gate and clock re-combinations and more. Some folks have said it is like patching a stack of 6 RxMx circuits.

Mix and Match up to six signals for up to six destinations
Easy to use as a voltage controlled mixer or continuously crossfading switch
Dynamically blend waveforms from a single or multiple oscillators
Create hybrid rhythms with gate or clock sources
Change up effects routings on the fly
Create feedback and matrix-mixer patches
All analog design featuring 36 VCAs
You’ve done some patchin’... now it is time to try some jumblin’...

No.1 APEX Eurorack Delays

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I am not sure if there's an APEX (best of the best) delay in eurorack. If there was, I would never ended up with so many of them. The 'problem' with eurorack is that each manufacturer adds something special. They have to. I guess my 'problem' is the autistic need to make 'one brand' cases instead of a colorful patch blanket. I never fully realized I had so many delays and even though there is no good and bad in euro, I could easily build a subjective top five - in any order - except for number 1. The top spot has been taken for seven years, but is now on the verge of retirement.

I'll be using a stack of Plaits and Rings as a reference sound, so prepare for a 20 minute 'spa'. In the end, there is an APEX delay after all. I'll add chapters later, for now I want you to relax, listen, maybe even do something else, and when you hear something remarkable, check what's playing. Spin FX delays like FX-AID are not included, but mentioned in general because they're not just delays. I also think the karaoke-chip delays (e.g. Bruxa, Lyra-8 FX) are too exotic but APEX in their own field. I also didn't include any analog/BBD delays because I have no experience with them. This is not a competitive review, it's a lab tour.

Please comment if I overlooked a delay that beats everything else, I don't have/know all of them. It's also cool if you'd share your personal favorite!

Cheers,
Robert"

Sediments - An hymn about what it falls by itself (Digitone 2 + Peak + 0-coast + Boum)

video upload by Music4screens

"After few weeks working on how to keep the inspiration alive, I've recovered some pieces I know they work with me and here is the result of just about 2 hours of setup, sound design and playing.
Sediment is the name of a great Digitone 2 patch from ‪@substan_music‬ which inspired me to make this conjunction of sounds and melodies that fall by themselves in a natural and not expected way.
Novation Peak and MakeNoise 0-coast make the rest of interesting bells and bloops, processed by OTO Boum as 0-coast filter, all recorded in Ableton through Digitone 2 class compliant mode and its built in FX.
Peak is an incredible machine, very flexible and fully capable and 0-coast a board to experiment with.

Hope you enjoyed listening to like me making it."

Stardate 2381.2 Holodeck Patch | MN-004 Morphagene Computer Fun

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"When you load a collection of Star Trek Enterprise sound effects into a Morphagene reel, it kind of triggers the imagination. I loved watching the original series on TV when I was a kid, and the love never went away. In this video, I imagined a 24th century holodeck simulation of a rare archeologic find, a MakeNoise synthesizer case unit thing. Ofcourse, as a 24th century researcher I needed to try and figure it out, and to fix accuracy issues with the holomatrix. The Enterprise computer has been of great help.

And yes, I used AI to recreate her AI computer voice because Majel Barrett is no longer with us. For me, personally, it's good to hear her voice again. It's functional use, and used with respect. There's no other way to make her say 'modular synthesizer is now off-line'."

Nature ambient music with synths feat. Lines script

video upload by Music4screens

"Lines is a beautiful Norns script which is very random but so beautiful in its randomness. The combination with the Makenoise 0-coast, Digitone 2 and some birds in the background results something very natural, meditative and linked with the forest.
I found Digitone 2 is even better than the OG version, adding virtual analog tones with so much texture and character. In this case the music flows by itself with nothing prerecorded except the birds. .
I love the way 0-coast reacts by its random oscillator and provides those spontaneous sounds like bugs and birds. Project (2024 p32)

Euclid (Waldorf M + H90 // 0Coast + Timeline // Nymphes + Julianna // TR6S // Hapax)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"I am continuing my deeper exploration of the vast possibilities offered by the Hapax 🤩

In this jam I loaded on the Hapax, the "definition files" for the Nymphes and TR-6S, and I have to say that it really opens up the possibilities to easily automate or modulate parameters on the synths (used for example here to modulate the pitch of some drum sounds or to add the noise oscillator of the Nymphes on some notes only etc.)

0:00 - The track starts with the 0-Coast playing a syncopated bass line thanks to the EUCLID MIDI effect of the Hapax, and with the M playing the main RIFF.

0:36 - I then fade in the Nymphes playing the pulsating (thanks to an EUCLID MIDI effect too) detuned CHORDS thru the Julianna analog chorus pedal (adding the wide stereo effect).

0:55 - The drum parts are played by the TR-6S using only the Analog Circuit Behavior engine (i.e. no samples used) for the drum sounds, with its VINYL SIM effect on the master bus squashing the DRUMS! 🤘 Also, I didn't use the TR-6S' sequencer here but the Hapax, in order to be able to swap between different patterns on only one machine (Hapax) + to use the FILL button on the Hapax to add breaks on the DRUM track too + I used 2 LFOs on the Hapax to control parameters on the TR-6S (as the TR-6S only has 1 LFO 😅)

1:40 - Bridge (only M synth)

1:55 - 4 to the floor part

2:38 - Outro

All the transposition are done in real-time on the Hapax (using Track 16)."

"Today I'll show you some cool patches on a small system built around the Larix Elektro modules: Ritournelle CV & Trig Generator and the beast that is the Dual Undula.

These are awesome to improvise rhythms, synth riff and all sort of abstract bleeps very quickly. You can also process sounds in various ways with the Dual Undula so we will check that out as well.

Have fun!

"Through Hills From Sky" synth jam w 0-Coast, Starlab, Arbhar, OB-X8, DFAM, Hydrasynth, Keystep Pro

video upload by Tim Grogan

"Live recorded DAWless synth jam into Pro Tools for mixing purposes only. I wanted to do some music that felt uplifting at a time that I know is emotionally draining and challenging right now, especially for those of us in the U.S. who don't belong to the political cult that's currently in existence.
'Through Hills From Sky' is really meant as a way of saying we'll get through this if we keep our heads up and stay positive, focused on a bigger picture."

Of cyclotrons and sequencers: recreating a 1974 “probability controller” in Eurorack

video upload by Electrum Modular

"This is the first video in a new series exploring the University of Iowa’s Electronic Music Studio. In addition to presenting its historic instruments (including a 1968 Moog IIIP with custom-made modules), and the famous musicians who have used them, these videos will extrapolate ideas to use in your own modular systems. This episode examines a unique random sequencer that was developed in 1974 by Paul Dingman, an electrical engineering student at Iowa. It then shows how it might be recreated using the third lane ('time') on Make Noise’s 0-Ctrl. NOTE: several other Eurorack sequencers also have this feature, as indeed does the Moog’s own 960 sequential controller; alternatively, use an LFO to clock any sequencer and patch the sequencer’s second lane/channel (if it has one) back into that LFO’s frequency input.
