Make Noise 0-CTRL: review, patch ideas and jam download
Added 2020-05-05 17:36:25 +0000 UTCHi!
Make Noise just came out with 0-CTRL - an all-analog desktop sequencer/controller in the same form factor as the 0-Coast.
I've reviewed quite a few digital sequencers, with plenty of features, power, menus and options - this one is different. It's back to the basics - with no quantization, no discernable way to create "standard" musical rests - and yet despite that, there's a charm to it.
It's all hands on, all controls, but don't expect any firmware updates.
Of course, as usual, just in case, I show quite a few workarounds and pairings should you be interested in it and yet want to overcome its analog limitations (or qualities... depending on your point of view...).
While doing so, I also managed to turn it into a subharmonic oscillator/touch instrument - basically an analog quantizer :)
As usual, plenty of patch ideas in this one that might benefit you elsewhere and what's not in the book will be added of course, at the end of the month.
The intro/outro jam is attached as a download in case you're interested! All subharmonics of course...
All my best,
Ziv (creating analog quantizers on youtube as "Loopop"...)
