My submission for the Hardware Jams “Noise” Weekend Challenge.
It’s been a few weeks since my last jam, so it was really good to get back to jamming. I based this patch around my zlob S&H module which also has various colours of noise available. I patched these around various places in the synth and used them as the basis for drums, lead sounds, bass… basically as many parts of this track as possible. I also patched in various distortion and chaos modules and a couple of feedback loops to add extra layers of noisy crunchiness, and used the Elmyra 2 with feedback and a harsh distortion to add even more noisiness.
This week’s challenge prompt:
Greetings Jammers!
It's November and that can mean only one thing- it's Noisevember
We are surrounded by noise, this weekend let's incorporate some of this into our jams.
How you interpret this is up to you - you could use field recordings, use white noise for high hats or create a full Harsh Noise Wall drone.
Always Learning
════════════
I'm a strong believer in continuous improvement and always trying to learn something new. This week I experimented with using coloured noise as the basis for creating various sounds.
My DIY Synth Rules
════════════
I aim to meet the following criteria when adding modules to my synth:
◦ I must have constructed it.
This can be a kit or from scratch but I must have soldered it
◦ The audio signal path should be analog.
I'm trying to avoid digital modules so I can learn more about analog electronics
◦ Learn something new
Try to learn something while constructing the module. Learn about the circuits, experiment with different signal processing options. Be creative.
◦ Have fun
