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,

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.
