Using Step 8 with Nibbler and Maths to generate rhythms


video upload by Peter Plugs Patches

"Using patterns from the Schlappi Nibbler to control the current stage of the Joranalogue Step 8, with the Make Noise Math attenuating and offsetting the cv signal to create variations. Sounds are coming from Quad Drum, SSF Entity Ultraperc, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Winter Modular Zaps and Basimilus Iteritas Alter.

"In the beginning, there was only the Void, and within it were born the Shapers—beings of pure energy whose thoughts shaped the universe. They wove galaxies like webs, breathed life into stars, and created countless worlds inhabited by wondrous creatures. But in the very act of creation, a flaw was born, a disharmony the Shapers failed to foresee. Their creations, imbued with a spark of self-awareness, began to deviate from the intended plan, evolving in unpredictable directions. At first, these deviations were minor, but over time they gained momentum, giving rise to chaos and destruction. The Shapers tried to intervene, to direct, to correct, but their control weakened with each passing moment. The universe, once their perfect creation, became a rebellious force, devouring itself. Stars faded, planets disintegrated, and life, once so vibrant and diverse, died in agony. In the end, the Creators, exhausted and broken, watched as their universe collapsed into a point, returning to the very Void from which they had once emerged. And with it, they themselves vanished, leaving behind only a silent nothingness, an eternal testimony to the futility of even the most powerful plans.

A Guide to Synthesizer Filters (and how to use them to make music)


video upload by The Unperson

"In today's guide to synthesizer filters I break down filters and show how you can use them to make music. Whether you’re working with eurorack, hardware, software, analog, or digital synths, this guide should help you further understand filters.

We start with the basics, looking at what filters do and how low pass, high pass, and band pass filters shape sound. From there, I move into modulation, showing how to use envelopes and LFOs to add movement, rhythm, and expression to your patches.

I also cover filter self oscillation and how filters can become sound sources in their own right. Towards the end, we get into more advanced techniques like filter banks and stereo filtering to create wider, more complex sounds and mixes.

If you’re into synthesis, sound design, or electronic music production, this will give you techniques you can immediately apply to your own tracks.

Topics covered include synthesizer filters, eurorack and modular synthesis, sound design, envelopes, LFO modulation, filter self oscillation, filter banks, stereo filters, and electronic music production.

Perfect for fans of synthesis, sound design, eurorack, modular systems, and electronic music production.

Korg Phase8 + Make Noise Morphagene & Mimeophon (in two parts)


video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| WARNING! EXTREME FREQUENCIES AHEAD. USE CAUTION! |::

A second test of the @KORG_INC Phase8 Acoustic Synthesizer, this time paired with the @MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Morphagene and Mimeophon. Sadly, at around the 7:29 mark, the Morphagene crashed! I have never experienced that before in the 9 years of owning the Morphagene (I made a separate "crash report" video which I am sending to Make Noise as I am able to reproduce this bug 100% of the time.)

As for the Phase8... I love this thing! As a percussionist first (my Father started me on the drums when I was 4 years old and over the years I picked up many different percussion instruments) the Phase8 just warms my heart. The kind of interesting rhythms you can get, along with the accents that can be achieved by placing objects on the Resonators (no, it's not just a gimmick) allows for the creation of everything from India Tabla style sounds, to West African rhythms, and more! It really is a creative and inspiring tool...."

2 Solenoids, A Snare Drum and a Ratcheted Sequence with Maths


video upload by Izhar Ashdot Sound & Vision

"These days of war take me back to the modular—its randomness, its sense of probability, and the inspiration it provides.
It’s also an opportunity to dive deeper into some of the more complex modules and really learn them.

A ratcheting exercise with Maths led to a lovely sequence that called for live drums—and that was my cue to return to my solenoids.

At the beginning of the video, you’ll hear the raw sound of the snare in the room, followed by the recorded version of it in the context of the track.

Happy to answer any questions."

Creating wavetables and Morphagene reels with Gemini 3 and Google Colab.


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"When I asked Gemini 3 if it could create wavetables, a new world opened up. Now, I am aware it's about artificial intelligence taking over the wonderful job of creating wavetables by hand (64 cycles of 256 bytes) I'd rather make music and noise with them. In this workflow, you'd describe what kind of 'morph' or 'animation' you'd want, and Gemini 3 would write the code in the Python programming language.

Next question is obviously: how do I run it because we don't want code, we want a WAV file in WaveEdit format. It turned out to be just a matter of pasting the code in Google's Co-laboratory (COLAB) environment and press 'play'. Then COLAB would run the code and output a .WAV with a pre-coded descriptive name. So next is to install them on your VCO of choice, which hopefully has an SD card or USB 'disk mode'.

But then the real fun begins. You can also ask Gemini 3 to code a 48K/32 bit Morphagene reel with a splice marker for every wave. These waves can be much longer, much more complex, and they can be stereo. You can create wobbles, sweeps, morphs, ticks, hiss, grains, anything. And then you can take your files to the modular, disconnect from the internet and lock the doors."

An Ambient Exploration in Microsound in Two Parts with Morphagene & Mimeophon


video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

An Ambient Exploration in Microsound in Two Parts with the ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ Morphagene & Mimeophon. Part one also includes the Make Noise QPAS. Both parts towards the end also include a pair of Radio Music modules (though in Part One the second Radio Music module wouldn't trigger). I will be releasing a 5 Track Album with more of these explorations within a week or two. Further details of this video:

You may be asking 'Why didn't he just use modulation on those parameters?' When I'm using a small setup with just two or three modules, I like to manually "play" the modules like an instrument; using my intuition to guide how I am going to evolve the sound. In my main, bigger system, I of course use all sorts of modulation for some of these things with modules like Batumi, Samara, Zadar and others, but I still always leave room to play the instrument manually.

I've been interested in Granular synthesis and Microsound ever since getting Curtis Roads' book 'Microsound' when it first came out in 2001, but even before that, I had been interested in Musique Concrète, with my first experience of that being when my father (who was a Radio DJ and Concert Promoter) brought home the just released Beatles 'White' album and hearing 'Revolution No. 9' for the first time. I was four years old, and it freaked me out! Part two of this video towards the end gets a little 'haunted' as well, inspired by that revolution of musique concrète!

MultiWAVE MIDI | MakeNoise New Universal Synthesizer System | Episode 06


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Midi on the MulitWAVE is a big deal. It seems it just adds polyphony from your DAW or midi host, but how many keyboards do you know where you can actively control eight separate voices and put each voice in its own VCA, with its own modulation and FX? I know only one. And then you can still go hybrid and plug all kinds of CV in it.

It's also a big deal because you can make moving soundscapes which are either super hard or totally impossible with regular hardware keys. Sure you can use multiple instances of VST's in the daw, but that doesn't count because a PC is not a fair compare.

I am still waiting for my MIDI expander strip to arrive, so I 'broke the rules' by using a direct USB connection with Ground Control. MakeNoise does not support this due to all classic 'interference' problems with USB loops between controllers, hosts and output devices. The 'strip' mitigates those problems, and it offers a front panel input instead of running USB cables through places where they can't go. But this video was simply to short to wait for the strip to arrive. Next week the new GTE will also be here, so I'll stitch it up properly soon and try an MPE controller."

Make Noise Introdues GTE (Gestural Time Extractor) Module


video upload by MAKEN0ISE

Playlist:

1. GTE (Gestural Time Extractor) | Make Noise
2. GTE module overview
3. Channel Index Translation with GTE

Press release follows:


Make Noise is very excited to announce the latest module for the New Universal Synthesizer System, the Gestural Time Extractor (GTE)!

The Gestural Time Extractor (GTE) is an analog pulse extractor and Channel Index Translator for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular system.

From the motion of the signal at the Span input, GTE derives up to eight individual channel pulses, as well as a GTE pulse stream representing the speed of motion of the input signal, and two gate outputs representing activity at the even and odd channels.

The Space parameter determines the threshold proximity of the channels to each other and thereby also the sensitivity and reactivity of the GTE and other outputs.

When the Clock input is in use, the GTE’s output channel will only change upon reception of a trigger or gate, allowing for changes to easily be synchronized with other existing events in the system.

With all controls set to starter min-max positions, the GTE also operates as a Channel Index Translator for PoliMATHS and other New Universal Synthesizer System modules that generate Channel Index signals, allowing the accurate derivation of individual channel gates from activity at the respective channels of the source module.

The GTE can be used to generate repeatable and controllable rhythm and timing information from any analog synthesizer signal, whether arbitrary or targeted, and is also useful for individual voice timing signal generation within a multi-voice N.U.S.S. system.

Extract rhythms, clocks and pulse streams from any control voltage source
Opens up the patch programmability of the N.U.S.S.
Synchronize GTE to any clock source with the Clock input
Use GTE to synchronize any event in your system with Activations from PoliMATHS and MultiWAVE - regardless of Span mode
Compact and powerful analog module
Pairs well with MATHS, PoliMATHS or Jumbler

Width: 8 hp
Max Depth
(incl. power cable): 29 mm
Power:

How to approximate a VHIKK X with Magerit Laniakea and Befaco Oneiroi


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Yeah, I FHIXXED IT. I own a VHIKK X. I had to have one, and waited for it for six months. But I completely overlooked the powerhouse I had lying around, gathering dust. Laniakea is a relatively cheap 220 euro module, and I guess - not sure - many of you have an Oneiroi - or an eye on it. If you'd combine those two, you'd open a SuperCluster and sometimes it will make the VHIKK X blush. Again, this proves for me that the best sounds you can imagine may already be hiding in the gear you already own. Next time you hear a 'must have', you may already have it."

Why to love the QXG by Make Noise


video upload by Stazma

"Today I'm happy to show you the new(ish) module from Make Noise: the QXG aka Quad Stereo Gate.

I've been a low pass gare addict since discovering them in Reaktor 6 and then throught my Eurorack addiction. My first one was the LxD so a new LPG by Make Noise is always something I love checking out (even tho I passed on the DXG). So today we'll talk about Low Pass Gate, check out how the QXG compare to some classic and available circuits from Make Noise such as the Optomix and LxDn and of course try out some different use case, both inside and outside the New Universal Synthesizer System.

Have fun!!!"
