Page 2: Installation
Installation: The Make Noise Phonogene is an electronic signal processor/ generator requiring 70mA of +/-12V regulated power and properly formatted distribution receptacle to operate. It is designed to be used within the euro format modular synthesizer system. Go to http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a100t_e.htm for the details of this format. - Page 3 Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards power cable connection, abuse of the product 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 4 (and of course, some of the worst!). With the Phonogene, it is possible to Splice sounds in such a way that you will hear sharp contrasts, clicks and pops. This is the physics of sound! It is possible to slow down a recording to the point of complete decimation, so that all that remains is trail of digital artifacts.
- Page 6 14. PLAY Pulse IN: at each rising edge signal applied to PLAY Pulse IN, Phonogene trig- gers playback. At end of loop or splice, Phonogene looks at PLAY Pulse IN, if HIGH, it plays again, if LOW Phonogene does not play. This Input is normalized to be HIGH.
- Page 7 Range 0V to +8V. 26. GENE-SIZE CV IN Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for GENE-SIZE. 27. GENE-SHIFT: clock signal at this input advances Phonogene to next Gene, in chronological order. Always dependent upon the GENE-SIZE setting. Needs at least 1.5V trigger signal to operate.

Page 8: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED Erase Routine It is best to start with a cleared memory. To Reset the Phonogene and start fresh you need to enter the Erase Routine, where you may erase Splice markers and the Audio Buffer (aka Loop, aka Recording, aka Sample). To erase all Splices, press and hold SPLICE button (18) until the REC LED (17) starts flashing. -
Page 9: Recording Process
ORGANIZE pa- rameter (11, 12, 13). To Splice, have the Phonogene set to playback the material to be spliced, and use either the SPLICE Button or SPLICE Pulse IN to drop Splice markers on the recording as it plays through. - Page 10 The PLAY Pulse IN will also stop and start playback, but in a very different way. At the end of each loop or splice, the Phonogene looks at the PLAY Pulse IN (14), if it is high, then Phonogene continues to play, if it is low, Phonogene stops at end of loop or splice.
- Page 11 Genes. The Phonogene is a Single Gene device, meaning that one cluster of samples is heard at a time. The Phonogene uses Dynamic Envelop- ing to achieve smoothing of the audible glitches that result from performing these par- ticle physics studies upon audio signals.
- Page 12 Chronological order. This is Synchronous Granulation. At the rising edge of each Clock or Pulse, the Phonogene will jump to the next Gene, and will play that Gene at the rate and direction determined by VARI-SPEED, until the next Clock or Pulse arrives at the GENE-SHIFT IN.
- Page 13 (4) for desired mix of Live Signal and Loop Signal. Patch EOS (20) to RECord Pulse IN (15), Phonogene will begin recording at next pass, remove EOS from RECord Pulse IN once desired SOS is achieved. Repeat the italicized steps many times, using different Splices and different Signals and setting VARI-SPEED for different speeds and direc- tions each time.
- Page 14 Set MATHS CH. 4 full clock- wise. Null MATHS CH. 2 and 3. Patch MATHS SUM OUT to Phonogene VARI-SPEED CV IN and set the associated attenuvertor to about 70%. Use pressure placed upon Pres- sure Points touch-plate 1 and 2 to control the Speed and Direction of Phonogene play- back.
- Page 15 50%. Patch a dummy cable, or a manual gate, such as Pressure Points Gate OUT, to Phonogene PLAY Pulse IN (14). Let Phonogene play to end of recording. Once playback has reached end and stopped, patch the MATHS Channel 1 End Of Rise OUT to Phonogene SPLICE Pulse IN (19).
