MAKEN0ISE Announces New Universal Skiff System, MultiWave MIDI Inlet Module and More!

Press release follows:

Make Noise is proud to announce: New Universal Skiff System, MultiWave MIDI Inlet Module, N.U.S.S Bundle and 2-Zone Skiff! More information below!

The New Universal Skiff System music synthesizer is a small system devoted to multi-channel modular synthesis, using control voltages to create poliphonic sound events. The MultiWAVE provides eight dual wavetable oscillators, the PoliMATHS provides eight complex function generators, and a pair of QXG modules combine for eight channels of low pass gate with stereo mix animation. Together, these three modules enable poliphonic patching from a simple set of controls. In addition to the 8 channels of Polimaths for modulation, the MultiMod creates eight time-shifted variants of a single control signal, for even deeper modulation capabilities within the New Universal Skiff System. QPAS provides Multi-Mode Multi-Peak Stereo Filtering, and the XOH provides a final stereo mix and line-level or headphone outputs for monitoring and/or performance. The system also includes a USB-C input that can be used for Activation of MultiWAVE channels via MIDI or MPE signals from a USB MIDI host (such as a computer running a DAW or MIDI sequencer).
The New Universal Synthesizer System modules come together in a unified system!

2-Zone Skiff
In 2009, Tony designed the first Skiff to complement the vertically oriented Doepfer P6 cases available at the time by providing an ergonomic enclosure for our René and Pressure Points touch controllers. These early skiffs were shallow, handcrafted wood designs. In 2015, a revised aluminum 3U Make Noise Skiff was released. This new design had enough depth to fit a wide range of modules, providing a smart way to build a small modular synthesizer.

Now, the Skiff has been updated again, this time to meet the more demanding power standards of today, with the 2-Zone Bus Board providing nearly double the power of its predecessor, plus the multi-zone design making it easy to isolate noise-susceptible or noise-causing modules from each other. The low-profile power headers are shrouded for easy and efficient module installation.
As before, the Skiff’s powder-coated aluminum construction is extremely durable. The clean, simple lines and matte black color place visual emphasis where the action is; the patch the artist has created.
Ships ready to use. Just add modules, patch cables, and inspiration.

MultiWAVE Wavetable Showcase | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"While the MultiWAVE technically uses wavetables, it is far from an arbitrary Dagwood sandwich of waveforms! The tables were generated from scratch by our engineers from a thorough analysis of module circuit characteristics, and we carefully tested and curated the selection over a period of many weeks to maximize the sonic signature of MultiWAVE. As such, rather than scanning through a cross section of all possible timbres, wavetable modulation on MultiWAVE is generally more like performing a timbre transform on any number of styles and designs of synthesizer. The tables are organized into categories so you know what to expect from each bank. Let’s check a few out.

Meet the New Make Noise MultiWAVE with Tony Rolando

video upload by Reverb

"Meet MultiWAVE, an 8-channel dual wavetable oscillator and the core of Make Noise’s New Universal Synthesizer System. Designed by Tony Rolando, it brings true polyphony to modular.

Each channel hosts two oscillators with independent modulation, spread, and detune controls, creating evolving tones that feel alive. Pair it with PoliMATHS and QXG for a full 8-voice modular polysynth, or use it solo as a powerhouse paraphonic oscillator.

Ships with custom Make Noise wavetables, supports WaveEdit, and features a built-in MultiMod LFO and polyphonic quantizer. See more on Reverb."

MultiWAVE Press release follows:

Make Noise is proud to announce: MultiWAVE!

MultiWAVE is an 8-channel dual wavetable oscillator for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular synthesizer. It uses a single set of controls to generate audio waveforms at eight independent channel outputs.

Each of the eight MultiWAVE channels contains two independent wavetable oscillators, Osc A and Osc B, each loading its own wavetable with variable frequency, modulation and wavetable position.

MultiWAVE includes an output header for creating pre-patched connections to the audio signal inputs of two QXG modules. When grouped up with PoliMATHS it creates the 8-channel core of the New Universal Synthesizer System.

Sequence A and B oscillators (per channel) independently or together via 4 Follow modes

Generate polyphonic activations from monophonic sequences using Modulation Dissemination, Span modes, Spread, and Accumulate

Exploring PoliMATHS' Span Modes | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Let’s remember the phrase “From one comes many!” Span and Activate give us three ways (modes) to create different patterns of functions from the eight channels of PoliMATHS. Channel Index mode could be thought of as sort of like Voltage Address, Round mode could be thought of as Sequencing, and Parallel as a Clock Divider. Let’s go through them one by one and we’ll dig in a little further than we had time for in the initial introduction video.
