Strega Alchemy Workshop

[@melter_rob]

This is just a fantastic machine and I feel very lucky to live in a world where a beast like this exists!

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Glad to hear you think so!

[@iamjamessmith]

Couldn't agree more :):)

[@LaymensLament]

presenterman, you always cheer me up: "were gonna end up describing the instrument so thoroughly, there will be no reason left to play it" is a damn fantastic sentence.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Some people took that sentence the wrong way so I’m glad you enjoyed it! We always say these things in the spirit of curiosity and invention, never hostility! ⚡️🎶⚡️

[@LaymensLament]

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC well, what can i say, it is the best sentence. see, first, it describes a specific type of experience well but the real barn burner is the following: on the surface it sounds like youre against 'rational analysis' of instruments but its formulated as "there is no more reason to". now, if reason wasn't important in the first place, we wouldn't mention "lack of reason" as a potential negative. so apparently, we really depend on or want reason and it is out of reason, we choose a different approach. its super circular! Tell the other kids: it rocks because its super circular!

[@paalasle]

This is a brilliant instrument! It is so close to the world of sound i have been living in for the last decades. It looks almost too easy to produce the most beautiful sound scapes!

[@rockstar-technology]

Walker's new hairstyle is a symbol of his initiation into the Mysteries

[@apparently_sonam]

Hes sporting an interesting waveform for sure....

[@neonmelk]

i know about RTFM, but WTFV is a must with this channel.

[@tagore10]

Missed you Walker!!

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Glad to be back! -W

[@EnricoMattiuzzo]

...this thing move beyond my thoughts, it has the power to give new results even if you follow a precise scheme. Best buy in the last years to develop new sound/music.!

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Glad you are loving it!

[@graviton9282]

I think it’s supposed to sound broken sometimes. Cortini it seems has come to love the things that are wrong with vintage gear. How honest it is to embrace a love regardless of its faults. Beautiful!; Correction- because of its faults. I’d say it’s semi groundbreaking and enormously interesting to try to replicate things having gone “broken” in a random natural way. Quite inspiring. Thanks for taking on such a necessary destiny of creative processes. If that makes any sense...

[@dynatwenty]

Got one today, went straight to oblivion! Happy patching !

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Walker is doing a Hogwarts masterclass. Can't wait to patch this thing up as a Shared System guest, but it's hopefully on a boat or plane to the Old Continent. This video is a clear demo of how to turn plutonium into gold and nuclear waste. I hope there will be an office hours with Strega and the TMMM.

[@WiredSpaceWizard]

That was delicious! You had me at "alchemical"! 😎

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Glad to hear it! More alchemy on the way :D

[@observant_sound]

watching this even though I really don't want to buy any new modules right now.... The MakeNoise Itch I can't scratch!

[@SoundsLikeSandy]

I wonder if more modular (or semi modular) equipment will come to have touch patch points like this, I think it’s a super interesting idea that adds an immediacy to patching that you can’t get by plugging and unplugging a cable.

[@lukeburris9178]

Lol I’m gonna run out of limbs !

[@kennymester]

These turn any semi-modular or modular patch points into touch points www.landscape.fm/allflesh

[@SoundsLikeSandy]

@@lukeburris9178 haha I wouldn’t want to patch EVERYTHING that way but it opens up a lot of new ideas

[@disxiple_113]

look up “allflesh” touch plates. you can use touch on every module! very cheap too.

[@MrStoicdolphin]

SO. MUCH. DESIRE...

[@BEDM]

Beautiful instrument.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Thanks!

[@_lukaszbugajski]

Dude I love your humor

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Hopefully you're not the only one, haha :)

[@syverjove]

I’d play along but mine hasn’t shipped yet. Sad panda 🐼 That said, I’m excited to see what I can get myself into once it does arrive 🤩

[@nsjx]

Also, can you tell me the cheat code to using the tonic mod plate with the very necessary contour plate and not knocking the damn Tonic knob at the same time... grrr my wrangly hands

[@JacobShulkinYashkakakashka]

Can’t wait for mine to come in next week :) would love to see some “make noise easel” (Strega + 0 coast + 0 ctl) content seems like the three were made to live together, the 0’s give full precise CV control and the Strega induces an alchemical flair that will make regular bleeps and bloops into magic!! Honestly I’m more psyched to not run my 0 coast through digital effects and have effects processing that was made for it in a way. Great work MN team and thanks for the vids Walker keep yo the good work!

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Oh, there will definitely be videos of all these instruments playing together! Making a full catalog for Strega, little by little :)

[@AbyssalReverberations]

Idk why, but this device didn’t click with me until yesterday. Another channel made a very good demo on it that pushed it up to my gas list. I’ll snag one to add to my 0-coast/0-Ctrl easel. I love the stuff you guys are making, and one day I hope to own your shared system! Edit: it would be amazing if y’all made a modular tiered rack for these devices to save some desk space. You could offer them in 1,2, or 3 tiers and bundle them for savings. After this video, it’ll be my 3rd make noise synth/controller in this form factor.

[@johnslater154]

They will be sharing plans for a 3 tier 3D printed rack.

[@AbyssalReverberations]

@@johnslater154 awesome. Thanks for the info!

[@Autotross]

Which video sold you?

[@AbyssalReverberations]

@@Autotross there was a video by Lightbath using the Strega with the 0-ctrl. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHO6n5hugpl6p5o

[@nsjx]

Pwleeeez I BEG YOU. Make Another Fabulous semi-modular PERFORM beast like Strega. I LOVE playing and "patching" with the plates. I don't know if I've ever been more enamoured with a piece of machinery than with the manmachine i become hovering over this thing. Yeah, i got No Control and No Coast but I love to play it by itself. So pleeeeez dev something new in this Vein 🙏🙏🙏🙏💚 luv J

[@Nokanmusic]

Touch plates are ace!

[@SloreTactician]

Pidgeotto, I choose you!

[@imlxh7126]

5:30 wait, is the "time" speed control quantized to intervals, or are you just That Good at hitting those notes??

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

The ear is Nature’s Quantizer (tm) 😛

[@constantinflux]

Hair👏on👏point👏

[@raglani]

killer!

[@tysondavid6873]

Excuse me sir that sound was very disturbing and in a matter of fact it raised the hair up on my arm nonetheless when I was a little boy I used to enjoy the sounds of the church bells before they all was removed from the churches do you have any knowledge on harmonic frequency and why the bells were removed could it be that frequency of the church bells were disturbing other types of entities humans that was not program for that particular sound as I am not programmed to receive the disturbing noise you were making

[@HyrimBot]

who you gonna call???

[@robertsyrett1992]

1:00 put it on half speed and you can hear a drunk chipmunk describing synths.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Yes, the chipmunk was hard to capture on-mic but I think we succeeded haha

[@KorhanErel]

While I still think Strega is not for me, this is the first video I've seen where the Strega produced sounds I actually liked. :)

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Some sounds, yeah... I’m gonna stick with the 0-Cs myself. Full marks for originality though; just not my direction.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Strega is a little less universal, a little more particular, than 0-Coast. They each contain infinities, but infinities of different sizes and scopes :) We'll show more of them playing together soon too...

[@KorhanErel]

Update: I have a strega as of today (Nov 27, 2022) :)))

[@williamgrant8043]

I really want to hear the more musical offerings of this instrument. Most of the demos have just been barrages clocky/noisy sound. I am so far unconvinced that’s this thing will be any good. I have one on order from where I work, but I’m starting to think my money would be better off spent elsewhere.

[@woodlandcritterpunch]

well the good news is there's about 50 different 4 hp clouds modules for you to squeeze your generic-ative ambient tubes out of!

[@wellurban]

This *is* musical...just maybe not the music you’re interested in. I’ve seen demos that make it sound more conventionally tonal, especially in combination with other gear, but it certainly seems to excel at noisier and more experimental music.

[@LenientProcess]

It's got an aesthetic, for sure. I think Hainbach and Sarah Belle Reid had some more melodic stuff in their demos, but it's definitely not going to be for everyone.

[@armintreiber]

A video full of noise. I would much appreciate some content showing the musical capabilities of the Strega especially in combination with a 0-Coast.

[@MathHammer]

Thoroughly describing an instrument give you no reason to play it? Bullocks. It is also somewhat disrespectful to your prospective customers.

[@amosluyk]

Can't concentrate on this... that hairstyle is disturbing!
