Description:
Late 2025 Walker Farrell from MakeNoise started an international music challenge for musicians to participate in, submit your own Graphic Score, then at the draw of a hat, you would be assigned someone else's score to interpret and create music from. I am always interested in music challenges and the more off-beat the better.

Late December 2025 names were drawn at random, Walker constructed a collection of MakeNoise modular synthesis cards to generate random numbers to set who gets what score. I was allocated a topographical map from Bruce Magill that contained some text notes and penciled in graphics. Bruce had a musical concept in mind for this score but did say "Notes for this graphic score are only a suggestion. You can disregard them and interpret this score in any way you like, if you wish. ... Don't overthink." So I did have free reign to interpret the score as I wished, so I could let my imagination run wild. In my younger years I did a lot of wilderness hiking so was and still am, quite familiar with topographic maps, so for me this was the perfect score, something I could relate to and understood. As a side note, there is no right answer for interpreting a graphic score, so understanding is not an essential ingredient, however a vivid imagination is. It is a bit like laying on the grass and looking up at the clouds -- what do you see beyond back scattered light from suspended vapours in the sky.

Special Announcement from Make Noise!

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

http://www.makenoisemusic.com

"Make Noise is proud to announce Plexiphon!

The Make Noise Soundhack Plexiphon is a stereo, modeless spatial texturizer which allows for continuously morphing between reverberations and multi-tap echoes, the widest range of possible results being neither reverb nor echo, and all results highlighting and amplifying character previously hidden in the source material being processed.

The Plexus control simultaneously modulates the number of feedback paths in the algorithm, and their entanglement together. The Size of the paths determines the temporal relation between them, operating like a “delay time,” or a “room size,” at either extreme of Plexus.

Diffuse and Color offer softening/sharpening/darkening/brightening effects over time.

Couple and Skew are stereo operations: Couple determines to what degree the left and right sides are isolated or intermingled (from “dual mono” to fully interlaced stereo), while Skew offers simultaneous inverse or tandem control of the left and right paths on the Plexus, Size, and Color parameters.

The Send gate input (normalled high, or patchable) determines whether and when the input signal will be fed into the Plexus.

Make Noise Introdues GTE (Gestural Time Extractor) Module

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.

Shift Register is a new Span Mode, available as part of the v4.1.6 firmware (which can be downloaded here: https://www.makenoise-manuals.com/fir...)

This video provides an overview of this new Span mode, which is indicated when the MultiWAVE's Span LED glows magenta.

2. MIDI settings with MultiWAVE

The MultiWAVE can be controlled via MIDI over USB-C by connecting a MIDI Host enabled MIDI controller to the MultiWAVE MIDI Inlet.

This video discusses the various MIDI channel setting options available for controlling the MultiWAVE, as well as the module's MPE mode.

For more detailed information on the CC message options available for parameter control when using MPE mode, be sure to check out the MIDI appendix of the MultiWAVE manual on our website (https://www.makenoise-manuals.com/mul...)

3. How to install the MultiWAVE MIDI Inlet

The MultiWAVE MIDI Inlet module is required for controlling the MultiWAVE with MIDI. But how to install it? Friend, you've come to the right place.

This video walks through the installation process of the MultiWAVE MIDI Inlet.

For more information on using MIDI with the MultiWAVE, please see the Controlling MultiWAVE with MIDI video in this playlist ( tk) as well as the MultiWAVE manual on our website (https://www.makenoise-manuals.com/mul...)

Note: as indicated in the video, when installing the MultiWAVE MIDI Inlet, be sure to use caution when making the USB-C connection on MultiWAVE.
