Make Noise
0-Guts, 0-Glory | First patch with the MakeNoise #0CTRL
0-Guts, 0-Glory
In this first patch I’ll explore patching with 0-Ctrl – but without Rene V2 and Tempi in the Shared System. Since the 0-ctrl is unquantized, I added the Ornament & Crime in the black/gold Tall_Dog version (Meta-Q app). Personally, I feel nothing can beat Rene V2 and it’s a step back if you don’t have a quantizer. However, when you like sequencing modules with precise CV values (e.g. sequencing varispeed, genesize, splice, slide, etc on the Morphagene), 0-ctrl provides all the precision you’ll ever need.
If you already own a PressurePoints/Brains combo and don’t use it too much, I don’t think 0-ctrl can offer the added value to replace it, but it’s much easier to patch complex sequences because of the dedicated outputs (gates, timing, clock, dynamic envelopes, etc) so you can use maths for different things.
This video was previously uploaded but the intro just took too long and I found several errors that needed to be fixed. I also included a shot of the cable I use to plug it into the case. Please note you’ll void your warranty if you rack your 0-ctrl. It’s not intended, supported or recommended by MakeNoise. I don’t have room in my closet to use it horizontally and I wanted to keep it as close as possible to my gear. I had some cable issues at the start, but it’s been running perfectly – in a MakeNoise 7U CV case – with a DC to 12V cable that’s also used for my 0-Coast. However, running a 0-ctrl and a 0-coast in the same case sometimes gets unexpected jitter.
- Update 11-sept-2020: still running perfectly :).
Update 22-sept-2020: Today I tried to connect it to my 4MS Row Power and 0-ctrl does not work here. Lights go on, but touch doesn’t work. It almost seems it only works in a MakeNoise case, no idea why.
Update 08-oct-2020: What I thought were cable issues were actually sensitivity settings. There’s a trimmer you can adjust to make it work when the 0-ctrl stalls.

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.

Mystery | MakeNoise Mysteron eight years later
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.
