Make Noise Intros PoliMATHS & QXG Eurorack Modules
Make Noise has officially introduced two new Eurorack modules, PoliMATHS and QXG.
Here are the details:
PoliMATHS is an eight-channel CV and Audio event generator for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular synthesizer.
It uses a single set of controls to generate complex functions at eight independent channel outputs. PoliMATHS’ functions are made up of two components:
- First, the well-known Rise-Fall envelope with variable Curve (familiar from the original MATHS and Function and 0-Coast Slope); and
- A variable-Shape Oscillation whose amplitude is controlled over time by the Rise-Fall envelopes. This oscillation can be either low frequency for the creation of complex control functions, or audio frequency for native generation of audio events/notes with optional tuned pitch control via 1v/oct control voltage.
PoliMATHS also includes output headers for creating pre-patched connections to the control inputs of QXG.
Features:
- Part of the New Universal Synthesizer System
- Eight channel function generator with a single set of controls
- Create simple or complex functions
- Activate channels in many possible patterns using Channel Index, Round, and Parallel Modes
- Modulate parameters across channels with Spread or Modulation Dissemination
- Designed to work with MultiMod and QXG and future NUSS modules
- Chain to QXG for immediate eight channel amplitude control
The Quad Stereo Gate (QXG) music synthesizer module is a Four Channel Stereo Low Pass Gate and Mixer.
Like the DXG before it, the QXG utilizes a new low pass gate circuit that does not use vactrols. This circuit is 100% analog and its response was arrived at after many months tailoring it to meet or exceed the expectations that have been set by all the vactrol low pass gates that Make Noise has created over the years.
Additionally the QXG adds a Vactrol button to select between a Slow, low-pass-gate-like response emulating the decay time of a vactrol (Vactrol button ON), and a Fast precision response that still maintains the gentle filtering characteristic (Vactrol button OFF). Fast response can be especially useful when patching QXG with complex and quickly-changing functions such as those generated by PoliMATHS with the OSC circuit in use.
The QXG also includes a Stereo Sum Output with voltage controllable Stereo Spread to quickly route all four channels across the stereo field. Each channel also has an individual output that removes the channel from the Sum when patched.
In addition, QXG includes signal and control input headers for creating pre-patched connections from the outputs of PoliMATHS and MultiMod.
Features:
- Part of the New Universal Synthesizer System
- Four channel low pass gate
- Vactrol-free design for classic Low Pass Gate sounds
- Vactrol button to select Fast or Slow response
- Xpread parameter for spreading the four channels across the stereo field
- Summing stage with Stereo AUXiliary IN allows for chaining of multiple units, creating larger mixes
- Individual channels can be removed from Sum by patching to their respective outputs
- Designed to work with MultiMod and PoliMaths
- Chain two QXG units to a PoliMaths for immediate eight channel amplitude control
Pricing:
- PoliMATHS – $459
- QXG – $239
