MATHSESESES

Let’s mash up some signals with MATHS! In a recent video we used multiple channels of René to create a single more complex sequence. This time let’s explore a similar idea on MATHS, using various shapes and functions all mashed together in a single output to modulate a single oscillator.

I love the mystery zone between the expected results of intentional patching, and the unexpected results of exploring the patch without a plan.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Me too!! ⚡️

[@jkonaudio2460]

the fact that all of this is "simply" a single module, modulating itself and sending the sum to just the frequency CV jack proves that Maths is the best module you can have in your system, getting one soon

[@zannfilm9645]

You won't regret it. It's an amazing module.

[@hlprmnky]

Little known fact: playing this patch with undivided attention for an hour straight is how a new Wogglebug module is summoned onto the material plane.

love this distinction between randomness and complexity. I rarely use truly “random” signals for anything, but I’m always looking for the surprise that comes with complexity. When the causal relationships within the system become too complex for me to map out precisely in my mind, I get into a special kind of flow, and the system becomes an environment for me to explore (and, importantly, one I can return to later if I want). That’s the magic for sure. also, North of Midnight should have been the title of a Mötley Crüe album

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Well stated!! ⚡🏖

[@LeoPerantoni]

These textures are amazing! It's incredible what you can achieve with so little in modular. Wow! Thanks for video, it was really great and inspiring!

Maths should come with discount coupons for Tylenol. Every time I try to get fancy with it I get a headache. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing ;-) I let my left brain drive the bus. It's the bane of my music hobby.

The resultant sound is what I imagine how the inside of Walker's head sounds like. All of which makes perfect sense to him. Anyone else would go insane.

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would be so incredibly cool if you would sell black panel Maths and Optomix individually , i have Make Noise rack and these two silver panel modules kinda ruin the whole aesthetic. I would buy them in duplicate and i’m sure others would too

Would you ever consider making an all-Maths system in a case like Dreadbox did with the Telepathy?

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

We built an all MATHS system in 2014 for fun, and then again in 2018 for our 10-year celebration. You can still see it in action on old Instagram posts by searching the hashtag #systemMATHS. Also, we built it again for the more recent video "Top Ways to Waste a MATHS Channel" on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sImXqHlnmJx2aqMsi=KQ2322UAilMeYdnm

Lovely demo of NRBC patching brought to you by Walker and the almighty Maths.... (Not-Random-But-Complex) hehe

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

NRBC approved! ⚡️⚡️

at 8:05 The patch recreated that annoying infamous "siren" sample... did anyone else hear that? Thes rest is psychedelic af!

Hey MakeNoise! Make a "compact" Maths, that does 90% of what Maths does in half the size.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Well, we normally don't publicly speculate on future release, but I can safely say that this will never happen 😛⚡️⚡️

[@boydw1]

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Foolish. The massive size of the Maths basically rules it out of any compact setup. You'd probably sell twice as many as full size Maths.

I am just getting into modular and I have a number of make noise modules including maths, and wondering why every demonstration video for this product only demonstrates how to make spacefarts, pewpews and filter sweeps that we can no longer use, because Edgar Winter used one in Frankenstein, and now we can't anymore... And please don't tell me that you're simply trying to illustrate concepts, because you could illustrate the same concepts in a musical sense, could you not? If you can't demonstrate the product in a musical sense, then it's not a musical instrument. Can you please show us how to use this in a musical capacity, or are we only supposed to make noise? See what I did there...

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

MATHS is open-ended and highly non-prescriptive in terms of its musical applications. That is to say, it does not "have a sound" and it is not oriented toward any particular genre or concept of music. Perhaps more importantly it is a module, a part of a larger system, rather than an instrument in itself. You will see MATHS in some sort of use in almost every video on our channel, some of which are more traditionally musical than others. One example that might be useful is the "Eurorack Ambient" video in which MATHS is utilized for envelope generation, LFO, attenuation, and mixing, but is not the primary "star of the show" so to speak. This is more often how MATHS is used in patches by most people than in being the centerpiece. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKKTl2adpptokJo

[@sdt1sdt]

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC hey guys, thank you so much for your response. I appreciate it. I understand your answer and what you are saying, but I don't think you are understanding my request. When you demonstrate your products, can you demonstrate them in a musical sense instead of demonstrating them in a sound effects sense. If you struggle to make musical sounds with your products, I'm not sure what good they are, because I'm trying to make music, not noise...

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Thanks for your reply! I don't agree that we struggle to make musical sounds, or that we are not demonstrating our instruments musically. If you can tell us what you mean by "musical" then I would be happy to provide some links to videos that might be closer to what you are looking for.
