Make Noise Skiff Systems: Compact Powerhouses in Modular Synthesis

Make Noise, the Asheville-based purveyors of modular mischief, present a double-header in this video: the Tape & Microsound Music Machine and the New Universal Skiff System. Both systems are compact, skiff-friendly setups, but don’t let their size fool you—there’s a wealth of patching potential packed inside. The video dives into creative routing, parallel processing, and modulation trickery, all with that signature Make Noise flair for the experimental. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you patch two small systems together and let the signal paths tangle, this is a deep-dive worth your voltage.

MIDI, CV and the Make Noise N.U.S.S.: Skiff System in Hybrid Action

Make Noise, the Asheville-based architects of modular mischief, return with a hands-on look at their New Universal Skiff System (N.U.S.S.), this time exploring the crossroads of MIDI and CV. In this video, the team demonstrates how the N.U.S.S. can serve as a flexible hub for both digital and analogue sequencing, using a MIDI keyboard and classic CV sources to drive intricate patterns and evolving soundscapes. Expect a patch-oriented walkthrough, peppered with practical modulation tricks and a healthy disregard for the boundaries between MIDI and voltage. If you’ve ever wondered how Make Noise envisions hybrid control in a modern Eurorack setup,

Make Noise Unveils the Universal Skiff System: Polyphony and MIDI in a Compact Modular Format

Make Noise, the Asheville-based vanguard of Eurorack experimentation, has announced the New Universal Skiff System (N.U.S.S.), a compact modular setup designed for multi-channel synthesis and polyphonic adventures. This system brings together a curated selection of Make Noise modules, including MultiWAVE, PoliMATHS, QXG, MultiMod, QPAS, and XOH, all powered by a newly engineered 2-Zone Bus Board. With integrated USB-C MIDI and MPE support, the Universal Skiff System aims to bridge the gap between modular and DAW workflows. For those wanting to roll their own, the N.U.S.S. Bundle offers the core modules separately, while the upgraded power solution promises cleaner, more reliable

MAKEN0ISE’s Universal Synthesizer System: A Modular Starting Patch Dissected

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular experimentation, introduce their New Universal Synthesizer System with a patch that’s less a rulebook and more a springboard. In this official walkthrough, the Make Noise team demonstrate how Multi-Wave, Polymaths, and QXG modules can be chained for immediate sonic results. The video is all about patching philosophy: there’s no ‘correct’ way, but this setup offers a practical launchpad for exploring the system’s interconnections and modulation tricks. For those who think in voltages and crave patchable complexity, it’s a revealing look at how these modules want to be played together.

MAKEN0ISE PoliMATHS: Oscillation, Submixing, and Audio-Rate Adventures

Make Noise, the Asheville-based maestros of modular mischief, dive deep into the less obvious corners of their PoliMATHS module in this exploratory video. The focus here is on how PoliMATHS can be more than just a modulation workhorse: it’s shown as a flexible audio-rate oscillator, a clever submixer, and a source of layered, complex signals. If you’ve ever wondered how to wrangle eight function generators into something more than the sum of their parts—or how to patch up a storm without a tangle of cables—this walkthrough is a must-watch for the patch-hungry and the curious alike.

Make Noise PoliMATHS: A Deep Dive into Span Modes and Modular Possibilities

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular experimentation, return with a focused exploration of their new PoliMATHS module. In this official video, the team walks through the three distinctive span modes—Channel Index, Round, and Parallel—each unlocking a different approach to pattern generation across the module’s eight channels. Expect a patch-oriented demonstration, with voltage addressing, clocked sequencing, and clock division all on the menu. For those who thrive on creative modulation and intricate signal routing, this is a revealing look at how PoliMATHS can become the nerve centre of a Eurorack setup.

All the Cycles: Make Noise’s Multimod, Polimaths and the Art of Modular Modulation

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of experimental modular, return with a deep dive into their new universal synthesizer system. In this video, the team explores the Multimod module and its evolving relationship with Polimaths and QXG, revealing how firmware updates and clever cycling modes open up a world of modulation possibilities. Expect a patch-oriented walkthrough, a look at the new USB update process, and a taste of how these modules interact to create complex, stereo-rich soundscapes. It’s classic Make Noise: exploratory, a bit eccentric, and always focused on what happens when you let the patch cables lead the way.
