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.

video uploads by MAKEN0ISE

Playlist:

1. The MultiWAVE's Shift Register Span mode

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...)

http://www.makenoisemusic.com

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.

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.
