Strega

Strega is an audio alchemical experiment. Activate! Spill the tonic into time and let time decay through the filter to hear the results.

Features

• Standalone desktop semi-modular synthesizer in 0-Coast/0-CTRL format
• Works entirely standalone, with external controllers, alongside a Eurorack system, or as a processor for external signals
• Designed in close collaboration with Alessandro Cortini
• Reimagines synthesis as a mysterious alchemical process
• Great for drones, melodies, noisy delays, howling textures, and gestural chaos
• Features an intricate normalled signal path, with the option to play either with or without patch cables
• Touchplate interface for momentary signal routing and experimental modulation tactics
• External input section with high-gain preamp and envelope follower
• Internal signal generator/oscillator with Activation and Tones (a waveshaper-esque timbre control great for building heavy drones)
• Internal oscillator tracks 1V/oct for pairing with external controllers or sequencers
• Direct outputs for oscillator’s main wave shapes
• Agitation Function Generator provides LFO and envelope-like behavior, patchable throughout the instrument
• Internal Interference generator allows for chaotic modulation throughout the system
• Time / Filter Experiment: a delay / filter / noise generator that turns any sound into a swirling, murky abyss of distant churning and howling tones
• Time, Absorb, Decay, and Filter controls alter the behavior of the delay line
• CV control for all crucial parameters, including Wet/Dry blend from the Time / Filter Experiment
• Modular-level and line-level/headphone outputs
• Includes patch cable pack, output cable, and universal PSU
• Includes power splitter cable to power Stega and a 0-CTRL or 0-Coast from a single adapter

0-CTRL

Make Noise 0-CTRL is an expressive patchable, clockable controller and step sequencer for voltage-controlled synthesizer systems. A tidy desktop form factor and intentionally different way of doing things.

• Fully analogue and patch programmable, no menus or modes, what you patch is what you get!
• Sequence and Control the Pitch, Strength, and Time of your synthesizer voice, per step
• Pressure and Touch Gate outputs for human-generated events and expression
• Synchronize the 0-CTRL via the Clock In, or clock other machines with the Clock and/ or Gate Outs
• Pairs well with the 0-Coast, Tape & Microsound Music Machine, or anything having CV Inputs
