Make Noise MultiMod | Overview & Explorations

video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"A walkthrough of Make Noise’s newest Eurorack module, MultiMod, a multi-function modulation utility—with a few tricks up its sleeve.

This video contains a module overview, demo and patch tutorials. We’ll start with a panel tour of the MultiMod, and then dive into different patch examples that use MultiMod as a multi-LFO tool and a CV processor. I'll also share some "extended techniques" (ways of using MultiMod that extend beyond its intended use case), and demonstrate some ideas for using it to generate and process sound in unusual ways."

This is Make Make Noise Multimod: From One Comes Many

With MultiMod...from one control signal, we create many.

MultiMod represents a new approach to complex modulations: it takes a single control signal and copies it 8 times, additionally modifying those copies by weighted adjustment of their relative phase and speed. The result is a flock of related modulation signals, all derived from the same single input.

Phase sets the spacing of the signal copies in time, weighted by channel, with each progressive channel getting more out of phase from the original Signal and from each other. Spread allows for varispeeding the copies by different amounts, with each getting progressively faster or slower than the original Signal. Time determines the range of time captured at the input and therefore also the depth of modulation across copies of the input signal when Phase and Spread are manipulated. MultiMod also includes Tempo, Hold, and Reset features, and a variety of Read Shapes for temporal rearrangement of input signals.

When the input is not patched, MultiMod generates an LFO that is copied eight times and manipulated in the same ways.

MultiMod is built on a brand new DSP hardware developed for the New Universal Synthesizer System. It offers eight high resolution outputs, with signal input and output ranges approaching the upper limits of the analog eurorack modular system. All I/O is capable of a 20V range at +/-10V, greatly exceeding the typical 0-5V CV input ranges on typical digital modules.

Features

Generate vari-speeded, phase modulated copies of any modulation signal.
Dramatically control 8 CVs with just 3 fully modulatable parameters.
Multiple unique read shapes for varying traversal through copied signals
Tempo/Reset inputs and Clock output for temporal system integration
Hold feature for looping captured signals
Ultra-Wide 20V p-p I/O ranges approach analog maximums of the eurorack system
Full TechniColor, Maximum Blinkenlights
Calibrated to accurately pass critical control signals such as quantized pitch CV
Internally generated signals for “LFO mode” when nothing is patched to the Signal Input.

Specifications

It's all Voltage | The Modular Classroom | Lesson 1 (feat. Serge DUSG and GTS)


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"OK, here's episode 1 of my modular classroom series. Again. I had to reupload due to editing errors. So I worked on it some more, added some stuff and removed a segment that went to Lesson 2.

I had to pick a reference because we all own different case layouts. I assume everyone can follow and try some of it if you own a Maths, Falistri, Rampage or Abacus. I'll be using Serge DUSG and GTS for most of this video. I did not include the 281T quad function generator because it will get its own lesson.

We're going to be taking about rise and falls a lot. They're the foundation for modular sound generation and movement. It's all voltage. When we think of a triangle wave as a basic waveform, we can break it apart and see it as a rising voltage, a falling voltage in a repeating cycle over periods of time. Time will determine if it's a VCO or LFO."

Slope Language | The Modular Classroom | Lesson 2 (feat. Maths, Rings and Clouds)

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In Lesson 1 I introduced a hidden sonic world of rise and falls, a foundation for making sounds and movement and for interaction with other sounds and movements. I realized it's hard to make lessons without reference gear and I picked Maths as the No. 1 module to explain the core concepts of low level synthesis. While making this lesson, I figured out this 'slope language' which could be an alternative to patch diagrams. Diagrams only work on a system with a fixed layout and modules. In modular this just doesn't work because all modulars are different and personal.

I also needed to find a way to combine high level music making with low level modular techniques and explain why it's worth it to dive a bit deeper. I used Rings and Clouds as a methaphor for 'fastfood' because it's really easy to make great music. This often sounds like a bad thing but it's not. Too easy is good. It confirms that modular synths can be cool. But it's even cooler to hear what happens when we add a bit of low level movement. Sticking to the metaphor of cooking with sound, it becomes a Chef's kitchen, where Rings/Clouds are the signature ingredients, and Maths is the secret sauce.

The goal for these classes is to learn how to think in voltage slopes (rise and falls) and these 'slope language' diagrams seem to work for lots of module combinations. I was able to 'translate' a Maths patch to Tides and Blinds. It works because we're taking a step back from the panel layout, and focus on what the voltage is doing. The recipe. For me, it felt like a missing link that really helps me to explain things. Now let's hope this works for you too."

It's a drone song w/ Tiptop Audio & Buchla, Strega and Space Echo


video upload by Stazma

"Hey there!
Here is a jam I recorded at the end of 2024. I remember I really had fun recording it (one take and done) and I'm happy to realize i'm still happy listening to it again now so here we go, it's here for you all.
Title is referring to the massive beating sound of all the oscillators ;-)

Have fun!

Gear used:
Tiptop Audio & Buchla big system

Creativity | Episode 01 | How to develop your own 'modules' by patching


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In this kick-off episode about 'creativity' I'll revisit the concept of one of my 'imaginary dream modules', the reverse FX processor. I can't teach you creativity, but I can share my creative process.

I've been thinking about this concept for years, and trying all kinds of combinations to recreate the sounds I am looking for. It's impossible to do in real time, because these FX are created on sounds that didn't happen yet (at least not to the people listening).

It's easy to do in post, but you'll need to go through a recipe. You'd record a sound, reverse it, add FX, re-record the result, and reverse it again. I found another way to cook this recipe with two Morphagenes and I am now able to integrate it in a live patch. I need to start/stop recordings and control sound-on-sound for best results, so it's very hard to automate. Manual tweaking works best.

It's an outcome of a creative process. I have this idea and I am slowly getting closer by not letting it go, trying different things and learn from failures (which aren't failures but babysteps). Dead ends are actually U-turns. I've been thinking about learning to code for the Versio platform so I could make a 'Reversio' firmware myself, but I don't think that's going to happen because I'll need to learn C++ coding. And even then, it will not sound like two Morphagenes with an FX chain in between.

The funny thing is, I finally figured out how to do it while making this video. At the very end. So just before posting I ordered a second Mimeophon. I don't think I've ever seen a video about a dual Mime. To be continued, and happy patching! Let me know in the comments if you ever gave this a try with anything that can loop and reverse. Instruo Lubadh can also do it, but it would be in mono. I also tried reversed impulse response files, but it can never emerge before the original sound. Nothing can :). So don't let that stop you. When you're walking a long and winding road, you can see a distant future."

3-minute Ambient Escape with cat, abstract graphics, and soft tones


video upload by CatSynth TV

"A 'meditation' featuring our cat Sam Sam with abstract graphics and calm, ambient sounds.

The graphics was done in Max/MSP/Jitter, controlled by our modular synthesizer for the Expert Systems EX-8 module.
Main modules used were:
E350 Morphing Terrarium
Rossum Eletro-music Morphis
Strymon Starlab
Sputnik Modular dual oscillator (LFO)
Make Noise Maths

The E350 Morphing Terrarium drove the lissajous figures while the Maths and Sputnik were primarily responsible driving the movement of the dodecahedron with Sam Sam.

Addition instruments used:
Cherry Audio Chroma and Filtomika
AudioModeling SWAM Cello
Arturia LX-24 reverb"
