I love the fact it’s weird and cool–even seeing what at least half of it looks like–people are still making wild guesses. We could see the entire front panel and still have talmudic arguments over the function, and significance of the symbols.

I really think its an analog Karplus Strong synth. Activation would be controlling a range between plucked, hammered, and bowed strikes, Tones would be for controlling harmonics, and strength would be the the strength of the strike. Unless it really is a Make Noise Easel, in which case Activation is the pulse section, Tones is the wavefolder, and Strength probably controls the opening of the LPG.

Reminded me more of BLOWUP (1966)

Ooo that’s also a classic. Though the ending is always what sticks out in my mind.

Yeah, and I love how it pissed off Coppola and De Palma so much that they both had to remake the movie but with audio instead of photography (The Conversation 1974, Blow Out 1981). Honestly all of these are ripe meme material for this thread.

Imagine John Travolta going backwards and forwards between Alessandro Cortini IG posts.

Just for completeness sake, here is the correlating scene from the Conversation. Also I love the sound design, and honestly look at all his cool audio gear.

Time to speak about Clouds’ 2 left side :laughing:

Man I was really hoping for fresh Make Noise hype today.

Oh wait there it is:

One thing we know: it’ll be cheaper than an AKS. Well… maybe not cheaper than a Behringer AKS, but cheaper than any other.

Hmm, something involving pulse trains going on here maybe?

(I’m not going to buy any desktop synths until at least 2022 anyway, so it’s just idle curiosity really…)

I’ve gotta say, I’ve really become more and more fascinated by this. I for some reason have always had an aversion to “signature” pieces of gear, as it felt like a weird emulation thing for me (“buy this and you will sound like me”), but I’m sure it will be interesting to say the least. Between this and Clouds 2, my curiosity is high, if only to contrast my current self imposed spending freeze.

I’m calling it now: a 0-sized module release AND a three-tier Mescaline style combo release of all three 0’s in one item.

Reason going to a subscription model has the me opposite of hyped. Hopefully my current copy of Reason 11 Suite will work for at least a couple of MacOS updates.

uggg…i feel like its time to invest in a dedicated music computer that isn’t new and just leave all the software and have no internet on it.

Liven XFM seems like it could be interesting, but that style of marketing video is really a turnoff, especially with no other sound demos available.

It’ll be better than the Mescaline for a number of reasons, but especially because Tony and Alessandro aren’t COVID hoax conspiracy theorists like Arius Blaze from Folktek.

Oh really? Yikes, that’s so gross. Can you link to documentation of that? I’d like to let people know if that’s true.

For the record I tried to find something about that online and didn’t see anything. Maybe it’s on facebook? If it’s just their private opinion, whatever, I guess, but I’d rather not support people that publicly promote disinformation.
