"Let's see use the Benjolim square wav to clock the Tea Kick, run it in to Mimeophon for delays and then to H9, in the meantime throw in an Evolver drone, then layer in the Benjolin. Tasty and sweet!!!"

Podcast 352: Anthony Rolando (Make Noise Music)

video by 20Objects

"For my audience, Anthony Rolando probably needs no introduction. As the product designer at Make Noise Music, his work is found in almost every modular system you’ll run across. From his earliest designs (such as the Maths) to his latest (like the Morphagene), he’s helping to define the future of modular systems.

Recently, Make Noise has come out with a new standalone device – the Strega. This is a remarkable system-in-a-box that includes integrated effects and tone generation, and is particularly focused on live play. As a collaboration with Alessandro Cortini, the Strega is a deep, opinionated view on noise/sound manipulation, and launches a new perspective on what an ‘instrument’ is all about.

In our discussion, we dive into depth on the development of the Strega, Tony’s personal musical adventures, and a bunch of follow-up from our previous podcast (https://artmusictech.libsyn.com/podca...​). As with any discussion with Tony, it was revealing, challenging and inspiring.

Enjoy!

Make Noise Strega | Episode 04 | Witchcraft

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"I was very happy with the case layout I introduced in Episode 03. Every new patch is a new adventure. I was planning on having fun with Phonogene and Strega (also works nicely as a feedback-loop-recorder) but this great patch emerged from fooling around and I just had to record it. A case/system should help you make the music you love most and for me, the love for cinematic scoring goes very deep. Sure I can create all kinds of stuff on the PC with samples and synths, but this combo is raw, special, unique and totally awesome. I am afraid I need a new CV case because this combo is going to be permanent. Now I have to hunt for a second black Echophon. Fortunately, that's much easier than getting a new CV case."

Make Noise Strega - We Shocked Ourselves With It!

video by Perfect Circuit

"Wes and Jacob explore a few patches with the Make Noise Strega, combining it with the other Make Noise semi-modular gear (0-Coast & 0-CTRL) as well as a four track tape loop and some pocket operators. The Strega was designed by Alessandro Cortini and Make Noise and features a synth voice, noisy delay and a ring modulator, since everything is semi modular and signals can be routed with patch cables and touch-points there are lots of patching options with the Strega.

Make Noise Strega - Sonic LAB Review

video by sonicstate

"A new instrument born from a collaboration between Alessandro Cortini and Make Nosie.
With an unusual concept and architecture - semi-complex oscillator, analogue delay with a filter and a function generator. It sounds quite simple, and is, but it also sounds pretty interesting, capable of some lovely atmospheric textures and dirty, imperfect sounds with degraded feedback.
Available now priced at 529UK, $599"

Stereo Strega with Echophon

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"This video starts in mono and switches to stereo around 01:39​.
It's no secret that I don't like mono patches. Strega has a mono echo which I believe sounds totally unnatural. It needs to bounce and reflect through mountaintops and canyons. But Echophon is a great sonic match to Strega and has this unique feedback in- and output. Strega has this handy external input. So I patched Strega out to Echophon's feedback in, and feedback out back into Strega. In the final patch QPAS is used to 'color' the feedback but that's not really necessary. It's just fun to have a filter in between.
Both module-outputs are patched hard left/right to the final output, opening up a wide soundscape of reflections and feedback. So if you have an Echophon in your Shared System you can seriously extend Strega's sonic potential - and give Echophon a second life."

こんにちはHATAKENです。今回紹介するのはモジュールを“演奏する”ためによりフィジカルに制御できるという意味で、ほかに類を見ないほど優れているコントローラー＝MAKE NOISE Pressure Pointsを紹介します。

Pressure Pointsはごつい見た目で力強く押すようなイメージを受けますが、逆にとても繊細なモジュール。プレートに指でタッチすることで 、ゲート信号/CVコントロール/3つのノブで設定したCVを瞬時に切り替えることができます。一度に複数のモジュールを操作できるので、使い方次第で可能性は無限大です。

https: //snrec.jp/entry/column/patchth ...
< br> Hello HATAKEN. Introducing this time is the MAKE NOISE Pressure Points controller, which is unparalleled in the sense that it can be controlled more physically to "play" the module.

Pressure Points is a very delicate module, although it looks like a strong push. By touching the plate with your finger, you can instantly switch the gate signal / CV control / CV set with the three knobs. Since you can operate multiple modules at once, the possibilities are endless depending on how you use them.

HATAKEN [Profile] Has been active as a synthesizer since the 1990s. She has been holding the Tokyo Modular Festival (TFoM) every year with Dave Skipper since 2013. She invites modular synth makers around the world and artists who play modular synths to promote modular synths in Japan.

Shared System Tutorials | Episode 33 | 2-Operator FM

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"I never really knew what an FM 'operator' was so when I found out I wanted to share it. An FM operator is a combo of s sinewave, a VCA and an envelope. We can then use these 'operators' to interact with eachother in different settings called algorithms. The Shared System can offer two mono operators with DPO, Maths and the Moddemix VCA (or Optomix LPG). So we're still a long way from organs and electric piano's. But you can't patch an organ :). Have fun!"

Zero | Producing a track with 0-Coast & Ableton Live

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"0-Coast is a powerful mono synth, but on it's own you won't be able to make a 'song'. However, if you have a DAW and you can dub some tracks it's possible to synthesize kicks, snares, percussion, bass, leads, etc. I've included some patch notes that may help you to invent your own sounds. The biggest challenge with 0-coast is that you have to create all sounds from scratch, but that's also part of the fun. After the recording is done, you can cut and move instruments, add effects and create a pretty unique sound. I used Strega on a final lead to show you that you can use 0-Coast to send midi information to Strega with the midi B outputs. The final result is a one minute 'sketch' you can find at the end of the video."

0-C0AST AMBIENT: PATH.TRACE (feat iolabs Flux)

video by C Nich0lls

"A path of unpredictable resonance.

This time the 0-Coast is joined by it's larger sibling the System Cartesian. Also lending some modulation is the 0-CTRL. 0-CTRL adds modulation to each phrase modifying a variety of waveform parameters on the 0-Coast.

The 0-Coast is patched largely using it's default signal flow. The sound relies on lots of modulation to the waveform blend along with overtone and Multiply. The final sound is routed through Strymon;s NightSky reverb pedal.

The Cartesian adds 2 further sounds; a low 'kick' from the STO and noise/hat from the Teleharmonic.

Sequencing is all from my new IOLABS FLUX sequencer. The Flus allows for a lot of detailed and organic rhythmic control. Literally my first patch with it and definitely scratching the surface, but so far far more flexible than even the descriptions give it credit for. Very deep, but reasonable UI and the detail of the programming is quite astonishing."

Strega | Episode 02 | Understanding Strega - feat. Teleplexer 'expander'.

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"The best way to learn and understand Strega is to check out Alessandro Cortini's tracks and performances on YouTube. You'll be diving into sonic landscapes that are beautiful, dark and magical. I wondered Strega would probably perform very well in these genres and styles. It's not your typical ambient dream machine, it's next level. In this video I'll be using Arbhar and Desmodus Versio to bring the raw sounds to production level.

In my previous 'first patch' video I did not use any of the touch terminals, so in this episode it's a main subject. If you own an old Teleplexer, get it near because it's proven to be a great Strega expander. Teleplexer is recently discontinued so it may still be in stock at your local dealer - and it's one of the cheaper MN modules."

MakeNoise Strega | First Patch | with Todd Barton

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"After waiting for months for Strega to arrive, it finally came to my doorstep yesterday. As you may see, I've been preparing for its arrival creating cool support footage and video stuff to make it a special experience. I've reached 4K subscribers this week and this 'special edition' video is also a way to say thanks to all of you supporting my channel. I 'stole' Walker's high speed explanation of Strega and slowed it down without explicit official permission.
Last, but definitely not least, I'd like to thank mr. Todd Barton for creating a set of really cool Buchla sounds that match the 'submerged' theme of this video very well. I'll definitely revisit Strega so this is part 01 of a series. Have fun, and see you soon!"

Generative Music: The Seagull & The Walrus

video by Todd Murray

"Generative music with a modular synth is not so much about playing notes with a keyboard or sequencer. It's about building a story from clock pulses, oscillators, filters and modulating everything. Its about how you feel, while making it. It is not really random, although it can be. Many cases it is about controlling or selecting waveforms that may suit a particular scale and pattern. The best part is, if you don't record the story, it is gone forever......

MidCoast | VPME Quad Drums in the Shared System

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"After making Starter Kits Episode 5 with the Quad Drums I wanted to do a jam with QD and the Shared System. I had no plans recording it, just jamming. But it went really well (you never know upfront) so I decided to film and share it. There are hardly any patch notes, because you start anywhere and suddenly come up with something cool. But it's basically gate patterns from Rene and one simple melodic element from Rene's X channel. Star of the patch is obviously the Quad Drums, but Mimeophon is awesome as always. Don't forget to experiment with that 'hold' button!"
