Like a double PP/Brains with step control over velocity and time… pretty cool

Make Noise would often demo the 0-Coast with the Korg SQ-1, this sort of seems like a blending of the Pressure Points and an analog style sequencer like the SQ-1.

Very cool, I picked up a 0-coast a couple weeks ago, good timing! (though I’ll probably pass for now)

Would be awesome to have something to house them together vertically, to form a mini easel of sorts.

Pretty sure this is an insta-buy for me. Since I’ll interface with Serge, I’ll probably build a dedicated jumbler with attenuators just for the 0 CTRL

Dynamic gates?? Who knew

I have some questions to ask you about the winning lottery numbers for next week

Very cool but not for me I don’t think, I would have been far more tempted if it had been sold as being easily rackable. Fingers crossed for slightly cheaper PP and brains combos floating about!

Lack of any quantization options on the 0-CTRL is a bit of a bummer for me.

This thing looks like a fantastic controller as long as your hands are actually on it. And the price is great for the feature-set.
But…
No CV stage selection and no recording means it is pretty static when hands-off. Reset and direction tricks certainly help, though, and the time adjustments look good for humanising your meter. Separate lane clocks or clock dividers per lane would’ve been tremendous.

Great video by @mylarmelodies as always

I’m also surprised by the lack of quantization, but 0-Ctrl seems to really lean into the idea of both microtonality and irregular rhythms. I’m okay with things having specific use cases for more experimental music, and Make Noise is certainly a company with a heritage of that. A package deal with this, an 0-Coast, and a minimal case to house them together vertically under one power supply would have been a slam dunk.

It would have been nice to have a semitone out or something for one of the rows at least. You can say that a Korg SQ-1 is microtonal too on the unquantized out. It’s still a cool piece, so I’ll quit my moaning. :slight_smile:

I’m not too surprised by the lack of quantization – this is basically an improved Brains & 2 Pressure Points, plus a clock, plus the dynamic gate/envelope, in a nice compact package.

I can easily see myself replacing my SQ-1 with this. :slight_smile: It seems like it’d partner nicely with my system, though watching all these demos makes me miss my 0-Coast a bit…

Does anyone happen to know if Control charges you for preorders upfront or when it ships?

Thank god it’s fully analog! Rene 2 is too slow for my taste, and I don’t use memory anyway. Think I’ll swap as it looks more fun to play.

Upfront in my experience. You’re sort of paying to reserve one

I’ll be buying one to pair with my 0-Coast, which I usually play with the improv. ensemble I’m part of.
It looks very similar to an Arduino based controller for the 0-Coast that I designed but never got around to building. This will save me the bother and have better pressure plates.
I’ll be selling my Beatstep Pro and Launchkey mini, as it seems more immediate than the BSP and more expressive than the Launchkey mini.
About 90% of my modular is Make Noise. I obviously think along the same lines as them! :slight_smile:

Up front. I’m still waiting on my Disting EX which I ordered within 3 hours of its announcement, even though some people have said they got shipping notices for them :cry:

I think my decision on 0-Ctrl is when to buy it rather than if. :thinking:

I have comfortably stayed away from the 0-coast for so long, but with this… :slight_smile:
