This is what scares me. I’ve been very impressed with what I’ve seen of the 0-Coast and think that it would add a West Coast influence to my current setup, but I fear that I’ll do that, love it & then end up wanting to go down the modular route with more MN modules.

That’s about it, down the rabbit hole we all must go!

I’ve got tame rabbits I’ve yet to fully appreciate so I’m hesitant to explore the domain of unfettered rabbit-land at this juncture!

I did horrible things with that analogy, I know…

started with an 0-coast, last year. until then, I hadn’t even considered the world of modular synthesis, but I’d been using a ‘no input’ rackmount delay (two of them) for years, for making all sorts of feedback sounds–modular seemed like a logical step. I couldn’t keep my hands off [0-coast] - it sounds massive and alive through my bass amp, and there’s a good variety of sounds you can get out of it. I think it’s a beautiful (looking) synthesizer, too. Make Noise seems like a good company. I only have three MN modules, however

I’m not sure why this hasn’t been more widely shared, but Make Noise recently posted a firmware update for the @ebremot Erbe-Verb, which lowers the noise floor.

I updated my firmware just now, spent a few minutes playing with it in self-oscillating mode, and quickly managed to invoke crashing waves, bubbly drowning noises with reverse reverb, a horrific screaming voice, and silence. I am pleased.

Good to know, thank you - I’m surprised they haven’t posted about this on social media, etc.

Another Make Noise-inspired mockup for something I want to make once I finally own a Morphagene: the “Gene Pool,” a simple 2hp microSD card holder, providing a safe, simple solution for storing cards while allowing for quickly swapping between reels and/or firmware options.

Not sure why it ended up so pixelated, being exported from vector graphics in Illustrator, but you all get the point. 100% passive, unpowered, pint-sized protection for cards, and an easy way to record, manipulate, and reintroduce some xenochronic material during a performance.

Looks great! If you ever make them available I’d buy one :slight_smile:

Reviving an old post here, but would anyone be interested in a chart listing what kinds and amounts of cv are tolerated or accepted by different modules?

Trying to sort out what take unipolar vs bipolar cv, at 5 or 8 or 10 volts, can be a head-exploding task…

What would be a good way to assemble something like that?

A shared Google Sheet would probably be easiest!

also, any reasonably designed module will be protected from voltages outside of what it is designed to respond to, so within reason you can not worry too much about it unless you are going for a specific result.

Looks like Make Noise just announced that they’re switching over their whole lineup to use only white knobs- a choice I love because I’ve been doing that myself for ages! They look so nice without the blue knobs :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

The blue knobs were just too dark to see the pointers under some lighting conditions.

I wish Noise Engineering would change their knobs… the glare off them makes the pointers invisible.

Got a good source to order said white knobs?

Thanks, I’ll check back later when they’re in stock!

Noise engineering knobs are d shaft, so you can swap right over to the same knobs as make noise easily if you so desire!

#179

I’ve swapped them before. They’re difficult to remove, densely placed, and many of their modules have encoders where you don’t want standard pointer knobs, so I wasn’t super happy with the results.

#180

would the “2S Encoder Knobs” from Rogan/Thonk be too large for Noise Engineering modules with encoders? I don’t have any of theirs, so maybe the medium knob would just be too big.

#181

I don’t actually have any Noise Engineering modules anymore to check, but I do seem to recall thinking the 2S encoder knobs were going to be too wide based on the size of the 2PS knobs.
