Iā€™m making it myself. Seems like a simple build. I have an hour or so on Saturday to do it, so if I donā€™t mess up Iā€™ll post the results. But Iā€™m following info from here-> https://amazingdiy.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/prototypo-pt1-woti/

The switches I have look tight on 2hp when mounted horizontally so I think Iā€™ll be rotating them

I also stumbled on the elby noise/s+h kit, which looks like a nice DIY project.

To add something ON-topic to the conversation, the Harvestman/Industrial Music Electronics Zorlon Cannon also looks ridiculous. I havenā€™t used it, and itā€™s fairly large (15hp), but it seems pretty rad. Definitely more than just a simple noise source. http://www.industrialmusicelectronics.com/products/14

Oh and forgot to mention. You can also just get one of the really bad PSUs on the market to have a great noise source always ready at your fingertips! Think about it, it doesnā€™t take up any HPs, comes free with the PSU and you donā€™t even have to patch it to get the noise flowing. Itā€™s really win-win-winā€¦ except you canā€™t switch it off, but why would you want that?

sample all different favours of noise you want and put it in your radiomusic

if you want a specific noise module then Quantum Rainbow mk2 is hard to beat for analog noise for putting in Sample + Holds and creating random stuff. I have a Noisering and Quantum Rainbow.

Also read this, some great tips on what to do with noise

May i wholeheartedly suggest ANY of the IFM modules [Denum, Fourses, Swoop or Dunst] All of Peter Bā€™s Ieaskul F Mobenthy modules are great chaotic/noise sources.

Thats a great suggestion and I reckon this is what Iā€™ll be doing on the short term. Iā€™m looking like to use the radio music for percussion ultimately but its versatility makes it ideal to practice now.

I donā€™t have space for a noise module right now and I was thinking of doing exactly this yesterday :slightly_smiling_face: thanks for the link!

Anyone know a place to find long samples of other colours of noise or a simple way to generate them ? Iā€™m mainly looking for blue noise, but iā€™d also take grey/purple/quanta (what is this one exatlcy?). Iā€™ll put them in a bank on my RadioMusic sd card, with some SW radio noise.

If youā€™re going the sample way, you can find a lot of really cool sounds here : http://www.websdr.org

Is this any use?

#36

Indeed thanks, itā€™s a bit short but if I canā€™t find another iā€™ll just loop it nicely :slight_smile:

A normal radio, pick a size that fits. Lots of noise options and quite performable. Picked up a old east german one on ebay for nothing. Looks cool too :wink:

Picked up a rather odd looking promotional item that I hope will fit the bill for experimentation.

Worth a pop for a couple of quid! And there are more left for anyone who is curious!

Hi all, do you have some tips on how to use your noise source in modular system? I know to use with s&h and to fm an oscillator so any other and creative ideas, both melodic and crazy, are welcome. Iā€™d like to know also how different noise type (White, pink and so on) affect the final result

#41

Itā€™s a very basic thing but filtering a noise source (either low, band or high pass) will give you different flavours, useful both as sound source and modulation.

I used to own a Bastl Noise Square but realized noise is everywhere, mostly I would use noise out from the Turing Machine, or SSF URA (produce digital-alike noise in audio range clock rate).

#44

I use it a lot to FM/modulate filter cutoff. Of course, I use it in tandem with heavy attenuation - wild +/- 10V noise isnā€™t much fun for that. But it gives an interesting fuzz.

Lots of interesting things to be done with a noise source and a comparator (and either an offset or a constant voltage to compare it against). This is basically about a third of how a Turing Machine works, fwiw.

Similarly, noise centred around 0V and a an offset or attenuator would make for an interesting wonky clock source - the clock only advancing when the noise is >0Vā€¦

Iā€™ve been creating a lot of nice noise signals using a DSI Evolver lately, by cross FMing the digital oscillators really heavily. Using different wave shapes, pitches, and FM amounts can produce a wild array of noise and even stuff that resembles vinyl crackle, radio interference, and raw electricity. Iā€™m not sure how well it would work with ā€œcleanerā€ digital oscillators, the ones on the Evolver are pretty trashy in a lovable way, but Iā€™d recommend this as a way to explore unique flavors of noise.

#46

A tiny amount of noise modulating an oscillators pitch sounds great to me. It gives a kind of ā€˜degradedā€™ type sound (donā€™t really know a better way to describe it).

If using an echo/delay, modulating delay time with a little noise is also cool. I made a Reaktor ensemble using noise for delay time modulation and it sounds very tape echo like to my ears.

If youā€™ve got Reaktor, the ensemble (Patina Echo) is here: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/reaktor-community/reaktor-user-library/entry/show/9375/
