X1L3 - ARMALYTE - 8580 SID - 3 voice test

video upload by X1L3

"Progress on the SID chip module i've been working on in my spare time.
8580 SID in circuit.

Took a bit of trial and error making the different write routines needed to do the shared register kinds of things with the filter and stuff. But it's moved on from a single voice proof of concept to an almost fully functioning SID module now.

If you were there when the C64 was a thing, you'll know how good this thing is becoming at pretending to be the chip inside the C64 based on this tune that i knocked up quickly for it. It is pretty much doing what a SID can do in a C64. A nostalgic sound. Especially towards the end where the chip chord trills come in.

The test tune shows the different wave forms and how they sound. It confirms that the absolute ton of continuous data coming in isn't a problem. It shows the ultra fast voice multiplexing to do things like the mellow snare sound after the first four bars, and the not so fast switching in tonal variations later on. It also tells me that the click generated by using the sustain register as a voice volume control is a trivial flaw that can't even be heard here.

Tuning is a bit shabby as i don't have a precision Vref on the breaboard. It's close enough slumming it with the running hot 5v regulator for a proof of concept demo though."

HWJ InkyFest 2025 - SynthAddict's set

video upload by SynthAddict

"Hey all, happy to make a jam in honor of Inky da Cat (Lisa Beynon).
She is greatly missed - RIP.

Unfortunately, I had a serious time crunch and had to rush this one out. It was fun, but as usual I had bigger plans for it. I had to upload almost a week early as I'll be away for the InkyFest and deadline just before.
All jams submitted are 10 min or less this time.
Enjoy..."

Album with Make Noise only - Fracture #10 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: https://anru.bandcamp.com/album/fract...

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."
