    LIMITED WARRANTY Make Noise warrants this product to be free of defects in materials or construction for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase/invoice required). Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards or reversed eurorack bus board cable connection, abuse of the product, removing knobs, changing faceplates, or any other causes determined by Make Noise to be the fault of the user are not covered by this warranty, and normal service rates will apply.

  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The ReSynthesizer can trace its origins to Spring 2023, with Walker and Rodent putting together a collection of modules to announce and demonstrate the Soundhack Spectraphon at Superbooth ‘23. We knew that these modules would need to complement Spectraphon in a way that would show its true capabilities. As such, this specialized layout comprised a single-system overview of the last 8 years of Make Noise module designs.

  • Page 7: What Is The Resynthesizer

    The Make Noise ReSynthesizer is a modern modular musical instrument that brings together a number of independent modules to create new sounds from those that already exist. To best understand what the ReSynthesizer is, let’s start by synthesizing the elements of the word itself: Re- (prefix): 1.
  • Page 8 Each individual module in the ReSynthesizer has its own manual (highly recommended supplemental reading to this one!). In those manuals, as well as the webpages and the Make Noise YouTube and Instagram chan- nels, you will find reference to a great number of devices and techniques from throughout the history of elec-...
  • Page 9 At Make Noise, we see our instruments as a collaboration with musicians who create once in a lifetime perfor- mances that push boundaries and play the notes between the notes to discover the unfound sounds. We want our instruments to be an experience, one that will require us to change our trajectories and thereby impact the way we understand and imagine sound.

  • Page 10: The Modules Of The Resynthesizer

    THE MODULES OF THE RESYNTHESIZER MATHS MATHS might be thought of as the central modulation hub of the ReSynthesizer. If we think of modules as individual parts that can either generate, process, or mix and route signals, MATHS is a special case that does...
  • Page 11 Generate a simple function/envelope by patching a gate signal to the Channel 1 or 4 Signal or Trigger input. The function’s shape and length will be determined by the Rise, Fall, and Response controls. GATE IN FUNCTION Generate a low frequency oscillator by turning on Cycle on Channel 1 or 4. The LFO’s shape and length will be determined by the Rise, Fall, and Response controls.

  • Page 12: Morphagene & Spectraphon

    Morphagene and Spectraphon The Morphagene and Spectraphon are the primary sound sources for the ReSynthesizer. However, unlike the core voltage controlled oscillators of most synthesizers, these modules are specifically geared toward chewing sound up and spitting it out, creating new sounds from those that already exist.

  • Page 13: X-Pan

    X-PAN X-PAN is a mixer primarily designed for crossfading between sounds and moving them around in the stereo field. It is great for blending multiple outputs of Spectraphon, voltage controlled panning or crossfading, and chaining to or from the DXG for larger mixes via the Aux inputs. It can also be useful for generating stereo signals from one or more mono signals, for further stereo processing in QPAS, DXG, or Mimeophon.

  • Page 14: Qpas

    QPAS The Quad Peak Animation System is a stereo filter with four filter cores, two per side. Via a special parameter called Radiate, it creates a unique voltage controlled stereo animation. It has four filter types, each with dedi- cated stereo outputs including a special new type called Smile Pass. Unlike many filters the QPAS also features a VCA on the input for ease of note creation.

  • Page 15: Cv Bus

    The output section allows the ReSynthesizer’s output signal to be sent into the world with a line level output and volume control.
  • Page 16 Mix 2-4 signals by patching them to the channels’ inputs, adjusting the attenuverters to set their individual levels, and find the mix at the SUM output (note that in this case Channels 1 and 4 will additionally slew the signals as detailed above). SIGNAL SIGNAL SIGNAL...

  • Page 17: Wogglebug

    Wogglebug Wogglebug is the ReSynthesizer’s Id Monster. Based on a classic circuit by Grant Richter of Wiard Synthesiz- ers, the Wogglebug creates several types of random voltage and can be used to do everything from add a little bit of unpredictable motion to a patch, to being used as the hub of self-playing music systems. The Ego and Influence inputs allow it to be guided by other signals within the system, creating the potential for various symbiotic relationships and feedback networks.

  • Page 18: Tempi

    TEMPI TEMPI is a polyphonic time shifting module. The six channels generate six related clocks that can be human-programmed by simply tapping the associated button at your choice of tempo. The channels can additionally be Muted, Shifted, made to start and stop via gate stream, and more, making it a playable, patch programmable clock divider and multiplier.

  • Page 19: René

    RENÉ René is a three dimensional, three channel Cartesian sequencer. Unlike the archetypical step sequencer of yore, René arranges its steps or locations in a 2 dimensional grid of horizontal and vertical coordinates, and can traverse through them in many possible paths. Three related channels of grid locations are traversed at once by two clocks (X and Y), creating three sets of control voltage and gate outputs, which can be used to sequence notes or modulation on Spectraphon, Morphagene, or pretty much any other module in the ReSyn- thesizer.
