WORLD OF MUSIC ; PORTABLE KEYBOARD - Latest Portable Music Keyboards, Synthesizers and Music News

Make Noise today announced Bruxa, a special release that will be available by pre-order only.

The Bruxa is a collaboration between Make Noise and Alessandro Cortini. They say that the module is inspired by Cortini’s music and sonic experimentation, and is a new evolution of Make Noise founder Tony Rolando and Cortini’s original prototype circuits, which eventually became the Strega’s Time/Filter Experiment.

The Bruxa is a multi-tap delay line, with over a dozen unique feedback paths and multiple filters within those feedback paths, aligned to allow for accumulation of noise, saturation and signal degradation.

While Strega is a complete synthesizer in a tabletop form factor, Bruxa is a Eurorack module, designed to be used as one part of a Eurorack modular synthesizer.

Features:

• Echoverb signal processor which shares origins with Strega
• Well tuned to work nicely in a Eurorack modular system
• All analog dry signal path blended with digital/ analog hybrid signal processor
• Analog CV inputs with wide range capable of audio rate modulation
• Time control with massive, smoothly variable range
• Linear FM input with attenuator allows for fluttering of Time
• Absorb and Filter controls dramatically shape the echo tone and reflections
• New unique CV outputs for use in self-patching or mutual patching with other modules
• Pairs well with STO, MATHS, Prss Pnt, modDemix and more!

Bruxa is available to pre-order for $399 and is expected to ship in October 2024.
