Studio Ambient Session with Moog One, Prophet-10, Music Easel : Soundwalk 2025-10-10

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel, and modular synthesizers — an ambient electronica track built from layered sounds recorded while walking around the studio.

The Prophet-10 is connected to a blueSky reverb, played with long release settings while manually opening and closing the filter.

Both the Moog One and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead provide synth pads. The Nord Lead runs through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus with a deep reverb.

In the small Intellijel modular case, the ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ Morphagene plays back recorded piano sounds, with additional reverb added via a Clouds clone.

In the 7U Intellijel case seen on the right side of the screen, the Instruō Cs-L is processed through QPAS and Mimeophon for filtering and delay effects.

The Music Easel is connected to a ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding rich reverb. The Easel is played with noticeable portamento while performing on the keyboard."

PoliMaths | Multed Skewed Cycling Voltage Math | NUSS | Episode 04

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"OK, PoliMaths as an independent module, away from it's secred VCO comfort zone without a dual QXG. Is it worth diving into this deep, amazing, incredibly musical, versatile and innovative new concept? It's hard to say 'no' now, isn't it? On paper, it's a multed simple A/D envelope with a rise and fall, which can cycle. But it also features an 'oscillations' section, which is like an AD that always loops, and the AD can be shaped to the basic waveforms. So it's an LFO at low rates, and a VCO at high rates with V/OCT support that can decently track an octave or four. So it's not a precision VCO, it's an experimental sound maker. On it's own, polyphony is more like overlapping sounds, each sharing the same rate, which comes down to the same note. When spread is engaged, you'd skew these rates apart so you can morph between harmonic textures and atonal clusters. So it's polyphony, but confined to the 1 source, 8 copies design that marks the New Universal Synthesis System (NUSS).

On the negative side, it's not Maths, there's no voltage math, and it could be seen as a fancy mult for a single AD envelope or loop, with proper audio rate support and clever divisions and distributions.

But when you give it time, a wonderful module appears from behind the dense panel controls and the mysterious glyphs. On the positive side (where you can always find me), PoliMaths is a must have module. But I am also an extremely biased MakeNoise fan. I'd say this is not a typical beginner module, but if you want to make your modular stand out from the conventional east and west, this is definitely a module to consider."

Make Noise Introduces PoliMATHS and QXG

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

Check with dealers on the right for availability. User video by Cinematic Laboratory further below.

PoliMATHS [MSRP: $459] is an eight-channel CV and Audio event generator for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular synthesizer. It uses a single set of controls to generate complex functions at eight independent channel outputs. PoliMATHS’ functions are made up of two components: first, the well-known Rise-Fall envelope with variable Curve (familiar from the original MATHS and Function and 0-Coast Slope); and second, a variable-Shape Oscillation whose amplitude is controlled over time by the Rise-Fall envelopes. This oscillation can be either low frequency for the creation of complex control functions, or audio frequency for native generation of audio events/notes with optional tuned pitch control via 1v/oct control voltage. PoliMATHS also includes output headers for creating pre-patched connections to the control inputs of QXG.

PoliMATHS
Part of the New Universal Synthesizer System
Eight channel function generator with a single set of controls
Create simple or complex functions
Activate channels in many possible patterns using Channel Index, Round, and Parallel Modes
Modulate parameters across channels with Spread or Modulation Dissemination
Designed to work with MultiMod and QXG and future NUSS modules
Chain to QXG for immediate eight channel amplitude control


The Quad Stereo Gate (QXG) [MSRP: $239] music synthesizer module is a Four Channel Stereo Low Pass Gate and Mixer. Like the DXG before it, the QXG utilizes a new low pass gate circuit that does not use vactrols. This circuit is 100% analog and its response was arrived at after many months tailoring it to meet or exceed the expectations that have been set by all the vactrol low pass gates that Make Noise has created over the years. Additionally the QXG adds a Vactrol button to select between a Slow, low-pass-gate-like response emulating the decay time of a vactrol (Vactrol button ON), and a Fast precision response that still maintains the gentle filtering characteristic (Vactrol button OFF). Fast response can be especially useful when patching QXG with complex and quickly-changing functions such as those generated by PoliMATHS with the OSC circuit in use. The QXG also includes a Stereo Sum Output with voltage controllable Stereo Spread to quickly route all four channels across the stereo field. Each channel also has an individual output that removes the channel from the Sum when patched. In addition, QXG includes signal and control input headers for creating pre-patched connections from the outputs of PoliMATHS and MultiMod.

PoliMaths & QXG | How does it sound when you know nothing?

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Today MakeNoise has introduced PoliMaths and QXG. My dealer already had them in stock (!) and allowed me to buy them - under the strict condition to keep it a secret until after the official launch video. So I had the opportunity to make a video in one day, without access to any help from the manual or the MakeNoise launch video. Normally I'd do my homework first, but this opportunity is rare. Usually, I can intuitively figure out how a module works, but with PoliMaths, almost nothing is familiar, and what's familiar works differently. So I've probably been using a MonoMaths, but since I decided to get two, there's still a Poli vibe to it.

This is probably one of the worst videos I've made so far, but it's fun to patch in the blind with zero knowledge, and this was the only day I could record, edit and post it. So forgive me for being a MakeNoise groupie. I am biased, but I also think it's for a good reason. MakeNoise managed to make something extremely innovative. I'll make a proper video soon, and I'll figure out what to do with this one later."

Album with Make Noise only - Fracture #08 Live Performance

video upload by Anton Anru

"🎆 Fractures is the result of a series of experiments with the Make Noise modular trio: 0-Coast, Strega, and 0-Ctrl. This combination of instruments is perfectly suited for generative ambient music, where hypnotic repetition merges with expression and dynamic movement.

💽 I recorded a 10-track album using only three Make Noise devices and VST effects. All tracks were recorded live in a single take, with no additional editing. Each piece is built around a sequenced pattern and a complex patch that evolves continuously, shaped manually in real time.

The album is available on all streaming platforms.
➕ SoundCloud: / fractures
➕ Bandcamp:



The album explores a wide emotional range — from brighter, more uplifting moments to darker, more noise-driven textures — offering a diverse sonic journey shaped by the raw, living nature of modular synthesis.

📒 I also have patches for Make Noise and other synthesizers: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/

🎛 Lately, I’ve been more interested in working with simpler forms rather than complex arrangements in DAW. Semi-modular synths are perfect for this approach. In this case, the arrangement is the patch itself. If it’s well thought out, you can easily play a full track in a specific genre—like ambient or techno—using just that one patch.

📝 I’m curious to hear your thoughts—does this kind of format immerse you in a certain mood or evoke a specific emotion? Or does the sound feel too experimental and harder to connect with?
I’d really appreciate any feedback. Enjoy listening!"

The Finish Line

video upload by davidryle

"Having a little fun with the Q960 sequencers and the Moog Matriarch.

The Q960 pair are set up for index sequencing on the bass line. This is a fun way to mangle the bass line but keep it steady in time with the drum pattern. The gate duty was handed to the Dotcom Q172 quantizer for only sending gates when there is a change of pitch voltage. This helped to avoid the typical pulse rhythm.

The bass voice is a pair of Synthetic Sound Labs TZ-VC Oscillators in FM coupling. There is a third VCO from SSL for a sine wave sub-oscillator. These are mixed through the Corsynth C114 transistor drive mixer to the Oakley Voltage Controlled State Variable Filter in low pass mode. The signal is split and sent through the Modcan 73B stereo echo delay and also a dry signal is driven by a second Corsynth T-Mixer for added saturation.

The drum sounds are from the Delptronics LDB-2E and the TipTop SD808 snare. There is a Mutable Instruments Grids and the Moon Modular 563 trigger sequencer coupled to trigger the modules. The snare is sent through the MakeNoise Echophon delay and produces the raspy pulse voice heard throughout.

A hollow wood/metal block percussive sound is generated by a pair of Dotcom Q106's, a Mega Ohm Audio CdS LPG and an SSL Digital Delay. This is triggered by the STG Trigger Mini Store and reset by the Moon 554 Octal Clock Divider.

The IN-YER-FACE lead line is the Moog Matriarch through a T.C.Electronics D-Two delay unit.

Clock source was from Cubase through the STG Time Divider.

A pair of Dotcom Q962 Sequential Switches were used to route the various step gates from the lower Q960 Sequencer to the upper Q960. Routing and pitch values were pre-determined after hours of rehearsal to set up a particular scale or mode that determined what I should play on the Matriarch.

It should be noted that certain happenstance values of the sequence pattern produced passing tones that lead to the typical blues scale in C. I just had to go with it."

WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes

video upload by David Falcon

"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something

Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.

La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)

Gracias por estar al otro lado!

(eng)
I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.

The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."

Dialing a Phone is Playing a Song

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"'Dialing a phone is playing a song,' says guest host Pete! In this video, we discuss the informational-sonics of the Touch Tone age, as well as strategies for synthesizing these nostalgic sounds with gear you likely have at home!

Timestamps for the various topics covered can be found below:

Intro: 0:00
Tone Dialing Frequencies: 1:05
Tuning Strategy: 2:51
Dial Tone: 3:27
Ringback Tone: 4:09
Busy Tone: 4:46
Handset Speaker: 6:08
Dial-Up Modem: 8:56
Outro: 11:10

Tuning is a big part of the patches covered here, and the frequencies referenced throughtout can all be found in this document: https://condor.depaul.edu/sjost/361/m...

Additionally, as indicated in the overview of the final patch, recommended settings can be found below:

"The Dial-Up Modem"

To begin, press PGM-A and PGM-B together to enter the 0-Coast's Arpeggiator mode.

Next, engage Cycle on Slope and set Rise and Fall fully CCW, with Shape set to Expo. Patch the EOC out to the Tempo input of the 0-Coast's Clock section.

Panel settings
Balance: fully CCW
Contour: Onset is CCW, Sustain is CW, Decay is 9:00 or so. Shape is your choice but Log is a good place to start.
Oscillator pitch is around 10:00
Overtone and Multiply do not matter in this patch— with Balance set fully CCW we will not be hearing their effects.
Dynamics: 3:00

Finally, patch a MIDI controller to the 0-Coast's MIDI input and play some chords— the arpeggiator will cycle through them at audio rate, producing timbres similar to those of the classic Dial-Up Modem sound.

What are some of your favorite sounds from the Touch Tone age? Do you ever use them in your music? Share memories and links in the comments below!
