Make Noise PoliMATHS: Eight Channels of Function-Driven Polyphony for Modular Explorers

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular oddity, return with PoliMATHS—a bold eight-channel CV and audio event generator designed to supercharge the New Universal Synthesizer System (NUSS) or any Eurorack setup. This official walkthrough dives into how PoliMATHS distills complex function generation into a single set of controls, unleashing a patchable playground of envelopes, oscillations, and polyphonic tricks. If you’ve ever wished your Maths could multiply, or your function generators could talk to each other behind the rack, this video is your invitation to a new world of modular choreography. Let’s see how Make Noise’s latest creation rewires the rules

MAKEN0ISE and the Art of the Graphic Score: Iteration 4 Explored

Make Noise’s latest video dives into Iteration 4 of the 12 String Iterative Music Project, shifting the focus from patching and reels to the creation of graphic scores. True to the brand’s avant-garde ethos, this episode explores how modular musicians can move beyond traditional patching and embrace composition as a collaborative, visual, and narrative-driven process. With references to Terrence Dwyer’s tape music philosophies and a growing library of unique sound splices, the project invites the community to experiment with new forms of musical storytelling. It’s a fascinating look at how experimental synthesis can blur the lines between notation, sound design,

MAKEN0ISE and the Touch Tone Time Machine: Synthesising Nostalgia in Eurorack

Ever dialled a phone and thought, “that’s a patchable sound source”? MAKEN0ISE’s latest video, hosted by Pete, dives straight into the sonic archaeology of the Touch Tone era. Using classic modular techniques and a handful of familiar modules, Pete demonstrates how to recreate those iconic dial tones, ringbacks, and even the screech of a dial-up modem—all with gear you might already have in your rack. The focus here is on tuning, oscillator interplay, and creative patching, with a healthy dose of nostalgia and practical tips for integrating these sounds into modern workflows. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn a

MAKEN0ISE and the Art of Sonic Taxonomy: Organizing Sounds with Morphagene

In this latest dispatch from MAKEN0ISE’s Asheville laboratory, the focus turns to the often-overlooked craft of organizing and categorizing sounds for modular workflows. Drawing inspiration from Terence Dwyer’s classic tape music manual, the video explores how the Morphagene module can serve as a modern-day tape reel, inviting us to rethink how we build and curate our sound libraries. Expect a deep dive into duration, timbre, and the creative quirks of sonic classification—plus a call for communal patching that’s as open-ended as the Make Noise ethos itself. If you’ve ever wondered how to wrangle your sample chaos into musical order, this

Make Noise Spectraphon: Spectral Bouncing Balls and Echoes in the Array

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of modular mischief, return with a deep dive into their Spectraphon module—a spectral amplitude modulation powerhouse designed for the adventurous Eurorack explorer. In this video, they demonstrate how echoes, dynamic controls, and oscillator mixing can be harnessed to sculpt complex, evolving soundscapes. Expect a patch-oriented walkthrough that doesn’t just show off features, but reveals how Spectraphon’s unique approach to arrays and modulation can transform your rack into a playground of spectral textures. If you’re after nuanced sonic layering and creative modulation, this one’s for you.

Make Noise and the DPO Supersaw Redux: Patch Alchemy in Eurorack

Make Noise returns to their roots with a deep-dive into the art of coaxing a supersaw from the DPO, ably abetted by the modDemix and the rare megawave. In classic Make Noise fashion, this video is less about following a recipe and more about exploring the circuitous, sometimes maddening, routes that modular synthesis invites. Expect a patching odyssey through wave folding, signal inversion, and the odd historical tangent—plus a few lessons in creative problem-solving that only a decade of Eurorack obsession can provide. For those who thrive on patching outside the box, this is a masterclass in turning limitations into

Make Noise DPO: The Beast in the Rack – An Origin Story

The Make Noise DPO stands as a modern classic in the world of Eurorack, and in this video, founder Tony Rolando takes us on a deep dive into its origins, design quirks, and sonic philosophy. With Make Noise’s signature exploratory style, we get a rare look at how the DPO’s dual complex oscillator architecture was shaped by both daydreams and circuit board sleuthing, rather than direct imitation. Expect tales of Buchla-inspired speculation, hands-on patching, and the kind of modulation magic that only a Make Noise module can conjure. For those who care about how oscillators interact, mutate, and misbehave in

MAKEN0ISE Resynthesizer: Smoke, Memory and Modular Crossfire

In this Make Noise video, we’re treated to a re-imagined patch on the Resynthesizer, drawing on techniques honed during the company’s formative years. The patch, inspired by the hazy atmosphere of wildfire season, explores cross-clocking and interlocked modulation between modules like Morphagene and Mimeophone. As is typical for Make Noise, the focus is on creative signal flow and evolving, atmospheric textures rather than rigid sequences. The result is a demonstration of how environmental inspiration and patch experimentation can lead to uniquely evocative sonic landscapes—perfect for those who think in voltages and feedback loops.

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: Patching Asheville—From Surface Noise to Waterfalls

In this exploratory session from the official MAKEN0ISE channel, Pete takes us on a sonic ramble through Asheville, gathering inspiration from record shops, movie stores, and even the roar of waterfalls. Rather than a standard module demo, this video is a patch diary—showing how environmental textures and found objects can be transformed into voltage-controlled artistry. Expect vinyl crackle, VHS tape ribbon controllers, and the sound of nature itself, all filtered through the Make Noise ethos of experimental modular synthesis. For anyone who’s ever wondered how their surroundings might shape their next patch, this is a gentle nudge to look (and
