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.

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

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 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

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

Microsound Alchemy: Make Noise Explores QMMG and XPO in Sonic Detail

Make Noise, the Asheville-based modular mavericks, return with a deep-dive into the world of microsound synthesis, putting the QMMG and XPO modules through their paces. This workshop-style video is a patcher’s delight, dissecting pulsar, glisson, and trainlet synthesis techniques with a focus on hands-on signal flow and creative modulation. Expect a heady mix of envelope sculpting, randomisation, and stereo wizardry, all delivered in Make Noise’s signature exploratory style. If you’re curious about how these modules can be wrangled into complex, evolving textures, this is a must-watch.

Spectral Microsonics: Make Noise Dives into Modular Microsound

Make Noise, the Asheville-based champions of experimental Eurorack, return with a deep-dive into the world of Spectral Microsonics. In this video, the team explores complex sound design and microsound techniques using a patch built around the Morphagene, DXG, and a supporting cast of Make Noise modules. Expect a hands-on demonstration of pulsar, lysone, and framelit synthesis, plus a healthy dose of creative modulation and transient shaping. As always with Make Noise, the focus is on open-ended exploration and patching strategies that invite you to get lost in the details—and maybe discover a few feedback sanctuaries along the way.
