AP Mastering vs. Preset Zombies: Make Noise Modules Unleashed

Sick of scrolling through presets like a lost tourist in Plugin Land? AP Mastering is here to slap you out of your comfort zone. In this no-nonsense video, our favourite techno engineer takes aim at preset-dependence and dives headfirst into the wild world of modular synthesis. With Make Noise’s latest stereo modules on the slab, expect sharp opinions, hands-on patching, and a healthy disrespect for lazy sound design. If you want to stop being a preset loser and start building your own sonic street weapons, this is your wake-up call.

Make Noise XPO: Dual 1v/Oct Inputs—A Patchable Playground

Make Noise, never one to shy away from unconventional design, brings us the XPO—a stereo oscillator with not one, but two 1v/oct inputs. In this official video, the Make Noise team dives into the practical and creative implications of this rare feature, exploring everything from exponential FM to hands-on transposition and evolving sequences. For those who like their oscillators to do more than just drone in tune, this walkthrough offers a patch-oriented look at how the XPO’s dual pitch inputs can unlock new layers of control and musicality. If you’re curious about stacking sequences, dynamic key shifts, or just want

MAKEN0ISE: Oscillators as Modulators – Phase Shaving for the Adventurous Patchhead

What if, instead of simply layering slightly detuned oscillators, you turned them loose as modulators for one another? In this latest video from MAKEN0ISE, the Asheville-based champions of experimental Eurorack, we’re treated to a deep dive into phase relationships, detuning, and the peculiar magic that happens when oscillators interact in less-than-obvious ways. The patch on show doesn’t just sum signals—it explores how phase drift and subtle tuning shifts can carve out new sonic terrain, with a healthy dose of frequency modulation and feedback thrown in for good measure. If you’re after inspiration for wrangling more from your VCOs than just
