Make Noise XPO Stereo Prismatic Oscillator

sacguy71 · 2022-07-07T03:22:36.897Z

I’m a big fan of make noise and have their 0-coast/0-Ctrl, Shared System and Mimeophon. Would love to see new Eurorack modules from them.

Two days to go Here’s where the livestream will be:

Anybody got any fun speculations to throw out here before the big reveal? Maths v2 on the way?

from an instagram story post it seems to be a module… part of me thinks it will be a multifx module or maybe an oscillator with many different synthesis modes? I dunno this is just guessing based on the image for the youtube having symbols that don’t really corelate with each other. I mean I suppose we could try to break down what each symbol means.

I’m gonna guess based on the audio on their new insta post that’s it’s some kind of crazy phaser thing…

Based on the audio, I am going to guess a wavetable synth - Based on the glyphs I’d guess some kind of envelope generator. Glad the wait/speculation will not be long!

Oooooh maybe a Make Noise version of the Buchla ‘barber pole’ phaser?

Looks nice. Fits well with the other recent stereo modules. I’m still learning my DPO. But, of course it’s beautiful work.

Yeah, I watched the video live a couple hours ago. Seems like it adds some cool things to their stereo lineup, and also on its own as a module. It is an interesting concept for sure.

I don’t dislike it but I’ll be honest it doesn’t really appeal to me all that much, which is a shame as it would look very nice next to my QPAS and Mimeophon.

I would have liked 2 oscillators, but I’m greedy - could have even opened up interesting multi-timbral stereo capabilities. The lack of soft sync and also octave control for the sub outs is a shame too, especially when it has 5 dedicated wave outputs for it… and they’re mono - which I kind of get but also don’t.

A second, detunable oscillator would have sold it to me though - use some of that sub patch space for it.

You’re sounding like the people who lamented the lack of sampling on Syntakt. Like, sure, but also just get a DPO or something else if you want control over a second oscillator.

Get 2 of em if you want the full stereo experience

Hey a girl can dream - I happen to be in the market for a new voice right now so this would be in the consideration pile, just sharing my thoughts on it - you’re sounding like one of those folks that lament anything but positivity

You know I always value your input @natehorn <3

It just seems premature to start pointing out what this is missing when we’ve spent a collective 0 hours with it yet. Tony put a ton of work and love into this module — he went into great detail in the announcement stream, explaining every single jack and every design decision — so we’d be fools to receive this and focus on what isn’t there.

That said, I do love the second oscillator on DPO and use it extensively, so I definitely hear what you’re saying.

It’s too damn hot!

(This statement explains and excuses any and all of my behaviour)

your_lamp · 2022-07-19T13:49:32.121Z

I baited you with my dick-ish Syntakt/sampling comment.

It’s not as hot here so I don’t have as good of an excuse.

elxsound · 2022-07-19T14:19:48.226Z

Well maybe I can add some of that positivity back in?

I’m excited for this one. I bought Hexinverter’s Mindphaser over DPO but now I’m not so certain I even want DPO.

I’m leaning towards selling off Mindphaser and replacing it with XPO and STO.

The timing of the release is not great for me after buying Bim and Boum, but I really like how nicely it played into QPAS.

Daspetal · 2022-07-19T19:50:14.813Z

I have nothing to add other than it is indeed F’ing hot. Though I think for the first time, it’s actually hotter over in the UK than it is here in Atlanta.

palm · 2022-07-20T17:02:17.910Z

Finally watched the vid I posted…I think it sounds amazing. BUT…I think it’s cuz the patches the Make Noise guy does [before the randos at the end] are so damn good.

I know if I had one, it would just sound like shit.

sacguy71 · 2022-07-26T18:44:02.051Z

I will stick to my DPO for now.
