Make Noise 0-Coast Semi-Modular Analog Desktop Synthesizer

MAKE NOISE 0-COAST: MAKE NOISE NOT WAR

For decades, a war has raged between the East and West coasts. Lines have been drawn, battles have been fought and countless fine young men and women have dedicated their lives to crowning a superior synthesis technique. Back in the early 60s when analog synthesizers were first coming to fruition, two dominant techniques were formed. Robert Moog, creator of the legendary Moog synthesizers pioneered a subtractive synthesis technique on the east coast which allowed musicians to convert basic waveforms into music using simple filters. Meanwhile, Donald Buchla developed a far-out synthesis technique on the west coast that used an innovative new control scheme to create emotive sounds. Now, after 50-plus years, the war has finally come to an end — but neither technique has been crowned the victor... the ultimate synthesis technique was not derived on the east coast, or the west: it comes from the Make Noise 0-Coast.

AN ALL-NEW SYNTHESIS TECHNIQUE

The 0-COAST is a single voice patchable synthesizer that combines elements from both the Moog and Buchla paradigms to create an all new "no coast synthesis" technique.

In the spirit of east coast synthesis, 0-COAST is designed to offer quick and simple subtractive synthesis on the go. 0-COAST utilizes classic modular synthesis techniques, but each circuit has also been hard-wired to allow for cable-free patching. Simply connect your favorite MIDI keyboard and start creating music with this expressive, musical monosynth.

Taking a page from west coast synthesis techniques, 0-COAST can also be used to create complex, otherworldly sounds using additive or FM synthesis techniques. Break out the patch cables and start experimenting with new ways to wire up your 0-COAST to create unique sounds bear no relation to any form of music you’ve ever known.

IS THAT A MODULAR SYNTH IN YOUR POCKET OR ARE YOU JUST HAPPY TO SEE ME?

0-COAST packs a ton of features into a surprisingly small package. Featuring two channels of MIDI to CV and MIDI to gate options, 0-COAST is capable of creating complex synth sounds in any style. 0-COAST is highly customizable, featuring patching across 13 sources and 14 destinations and compatibility with Eurorack Modular Synthesizer Signals for limitless possibilities. Use the built-in MIDI Controlled Arpeggiator to create driving rhythms, or dial in biting leads with the triangle core analog VCO. Use the overtone and multiply functions for interesting timbral effects or use the unique transistor-based low-pass gate dynamics to create evolving pads. Craft unique synth sounds for any genre using the flexible, powerful, portable 0-COAST synthesizer.
