Bad Shepard | Shared System Giant Ramp Wave + Mimeophon
2025
Bad Shepard
A few days ago, Walker from MakeNoise showed one of the coolest patches I have heard on the Shared: the ‘One Function To Guide Them All’ or ‘Giant Ramp Wave’. It’s basically a slow rise CV from Maths that drives the whole Shared System. I was wondering how this would sound as a Shephard tone, a rise that goes on forever – instead of starting over.
I recorded the rise in Ableton and created three overlapping copies to create the effect, because it’s impossible to do this on the Shared – ok, maybe with the Morphagene and a lucky ‘record’ in Sound-on-Sound mode. Then I realized the Mimeophon could layer many copies of the Rise in zone 7, the ‘long repeat’ of 43 seconds.

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.
MakeNoise Mysteron eight years later
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.
