Make Noise Easel
I got a lot of requests about how I racked my MakeNoise tabletop gear so I shot some actual ‘making of’ footage as I set up my own take on the MakeNoise ‘Music Easel’. This setup should at least have the 0-coast and 0-ctrl, but the recent Strega is also a worthy addition to create a 3-tier stand. I chose the MakeNoise CV Bus case to be able to add extra modules and create a custom ‘shared system’ for all kinds of sonic adventures.
I’ve picked the three core modules of the Tape & Microsound Music Machine, where Wogglebug and Maths are covered by 0-Coast & Strega, and X-OH is covered by the XPAN and the CV case output. If you want to hear the three tabletops on their own, please look elsewhere because ‘raw and mono’ is just not for me. Finally, racking the tabletops is not supported by Make Noise and may void your warranty. But MN also states the modules are yours so you can use them any way you, please. I always use them racked and never had any issues. They’re well-engineered and the CV Bus case can easily handle the load.
The Jukebox – Shared System Tutorials
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.
