Make Noise Strega – Episode 02
The best way to learn and understand Strega is to check out Alessandro Cortini’s tracks and performances on YouTube. You’ll be diving into sonic landscapes that are beautiful, dark, and magical. I wondered Strega would probably perform very well in these genres and styles. It’s not your typical ambient dream machine, it’s the next level. In this video, I’ll be using Arbhar and Desmodus Versio to bring the raw sounds to the production level.
In my previous ‘first patch’ video I did not use any of the touch terminals, so in this episode it’s a main subject. If you own an old Teleplexer, get it near because it’s proven to be a great Strega expander. Teleplexer is recently discontinued so it may still be in stock at your local dealer – and it’s one of the cheaper MN modules.
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.
