"With just 5 days left in the campaign, here's a special update: Every backer of our Lofi-12 XT Kickstarter campaign will now receive a FREE exclusive case as a token of our gratitude. (Our online-shop price for this case will be $79.)"
The overdrive is a fully analog discrete system Berdo’s circuit that can print interesting results on even the softest of signals. Alternatively this 2-in/2-out section can be used as a dirty feedback tool resulting in chaotic sub octaves, a 2-ch mixer; or send DC into one of the inputs for biasing, resulting in VCA-like functionality.
The filter is a classic OTA style resonant VCF with a hi-pass and low-pass toggle. With very little resonance this filter will sing on its own. With full resonance and no signal patched in, the self oscillating filter is capable of clocking the neighboring sample and hold section for expanded range of audio rate triggering.
The sample and hold section is straight forward. Designed to add motion to the filter section or used individually as a sample rate reduction effect.
There are many great features here, self-patching encouraged. Definitely recommend for those looking to add a bit of non-linear sonic excitement to their patching."

"As we begin to ship the final production run of the Black & Gold Shared System Plus, Tony sits down to reminisce on its origins and history, and also to answer your Shared System questions from our various social media channels!
Three of the five Shared System Series artists host the records digitally on their Bandcamp pages:

"After more than a decade of production, the Shared System is being retired, with its final run currently shipping to dealers worldwide.
The Shared System was originally designed in 2012 as a self-contained instrument which was mailed to artists to create music for the Shared System series of 7” records on Make Noise Records. The Shared System was then officially released after the records later in 2012, updated in 2015 as the Black & Gold Shared System and again in 2017 as the Black & Gold Shared System Plus.
The Shared System is the deepest and most complex of our systems, bringing together many of our synthesis techniques into one system. From analog FM to voltage controlled granularization, the Shared System goes to more sound destinations than most folks have time to travel to in a single lifetime.
While this marks the end for the Shared System’s production, the instrument will provide an endless source of inspiration for years to come. As always, we cannot wait to hear what you create with yours!
To commemorate the Shared System’s retirement, we have posted a new video to our YouTube channel ('Tony Talks Shared System'), in which Make Noise founder Tony Rolando sits down to reminisce on the origins and history of the Shared System.
While the original Shared System records are long out of print, three of the five Shared System Series artists currently host their Make Noise Records releases digitally on their Bandcamp pages and can be heard via the links below:
"More fun with the Openlabs NEkO. Many people seem to like to complain saying "its old", "Antiquated" or "Its ancient running windows XP" etc... Well yes, for what it was designed to be, its old, BUT its still fun and an interesting piece of synth history along with its little brother the MIkO. Just because its old and runs an old GUI/OS doesn't mean its useless, you don't toss your Memorymoog just because its using a Z80 processor and firmware that's 40 years old. Here is the NEkO running with the old Mtv Music Generator from 1999! This combo is still pretty fun to mess with."

"The Museum Is now going to Offer sample packs of its machines,
a couple of sample packs a month to help fund improvement of the running of the museum to be open more often and offer more this coming year after the refurbishment we are doing over the next few months.
Johnny is now recording some of the machines at the museum and offering them as sample packs.
This one is the telephone Exchange! Various sounds from the clicks and bangs made from it, recorded with various microphones, as well as all of the common service sounds ie ring tone, dial tone etc, that also have been effected in some of the samples, 150+ sounds
