MAKEN0ISE: Patching Silence and Dynamics – Three VCA Workouts

In true Make Noise fashion, this video dives into the subtle art of using VCAs not just for loudness, but for sculpting silence and dynamic movement in modular patches. Pete, filling in from the Make Noise Instagram channel, walks through three distinctive approaches: a Binary Zone-inspired Maths + TEMPI patch, a minimal-cable 0-Coast + 0-CTRL setup, and a crossfading, balanced modulation trick with X-PAN and Ch.Svr. The result? A masterclass in how voltage control and clever routing can breathe life—and rests—into your system. If you think VCAs are just for volume, this one’s a gentle nudge to think again.

MAKEN0ISE Spectral DRUM MACHINE: Resynthesizing Percussion with Morphagene and Spectraphon

Make Noise, the Asheville-based modular mavericks, return with a spectral twist on drum synthesis. In this video, the official MAKEN0ISE channel demonstrates how to craft transients, drums, and percussive textures using the Spectraphon and Morphagene, with a healthy dose of creative signal routing and resynthesis. The process is less about recreating 808s and more about sculpting otherworldly, machine-interpreted hits—perfect for those who prefer their percussion with a side of spectral weirdness. Expect aggressive textures, clever modulation, and a workflow that encourages experimentation over convention.

Make Noise ReSynthesizer: A Modular Blackboard for Sonic Reinvention

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular experimentation, unveil the ReSynthesizer—a 7U system that’s less a fixed instrument and more a sonic blackboard for the adventurous. Drawing from eight years of module design, this system pairs the spectral wizardry of Spectraphon with the granular prowess of Morphagene, all underpinned by a robust CV generation suite. In typical Make Noise fashion, the video walks through the instrument’s conceptual roots, its patching philosophy, and a series of encounters with traditional instruments at Drop of Sun Studios. The ReSynthesizer isn’t just a collection of modules—it’s a platform for reimagining sound, inviting users to

MAKEN0ISE Revisits the Dream Machine: Allen Strange’s Patch Reimagined

Make Noise, the Asheville-based Eurorack mavericks, return to their exploratory roots by revisiting Allen Strange’s iconic ‘Dream Machine’ patch. In this video, the Make Noise team takes us on a journey through a heavily modified version of Strange’s original concept, blending random voltages with sequenced structure to create a self-generating soundscape. The patch is a testament to the brand’s penchant for experimental synthesis, showing off how their modules can be pushed into unpredictable yet musically coherent territory. For those who thrive on the edge of chaos and control, this is a deep dive into the art of modular patching as
