Shared System Tutorials – Optomix
If you want to use the ‘strike’ input, you’ll need to turn CTRL all the way CCW. If you want to use an envelope, CTRL should be all the way CW. If you use both, you can set it somewhere in the middle.
The Optomix is one of the most important and characteristic modules in the Shared System. It’s been used in almost every video in the series, and it should have been a chapter much earlier. However, I wanted to show the difference between version 1 and 2 so I had to find an old one. A few months ago I found one in Spain.
Also, the ‘hunt’ for a black & gold took more than a year and my quest ended successfully this week. Well, almost, because it’s a V1. Isn’t it ironic. I also found it mysterious that my V2 came with my old silver CV-Bus shared system and the V1 comes from a newer Black & Gold with Phonogene. There may have been a time where newer Shared Systems were shipped with older Optomixes. This is not a bad thing, because V1’s are rumoured to sound better because MakeNoise still had plenty of good old vactrols to choose from. But that may be an urban legend. So if you’re hunting for a B&G case, you’ll now may be able to recognize the one you prefer. Make sure you listen to your optomix before you buy it, because all are a bit different. If you’re checking out a V1, please remember all knobs affect the sound when only CH1 is patched. I thought mine was ‘faulty’ without realizing CH2 was wide open.

In MakeNoise’s latest Maths ‘bouncing ball’ video, Tony Rolando spoke about a patch you could start with one button/trigger and would then play a ‘song’ by itself. Aleatoric Music.

Today I also uploaded a new Rings into Clouds video to create another magical forest. But I can imagine you’re not into that, and prefer a darker ambient setting. So in tandem, I created this Mysteron video, which was introduced a year before Rings came out. Both Rings and Mysteron use roughly the same technique of striking a delay line. With Rings, the delay is filtered and shaped into beautiful sounds. With Mysteron, the delay sounds like a raw heavy metal feast. A lot has changed since Mysteron came out, there are many new effect modules that can make it sound totally 2021.
The Mysteron is a discontinued module but you may be able to find one 2nd hand (hopefully fair priced). I’ve included a link to a shared system tutorial where I tried to do Karplus Strong Synthesis with the Echophon delay.
