Little Box of Folded Fun

The very xlnt Tim Prebble was kind enough to lend me his  MakeNoise 0-coast. For a tiny little box, its remarkably deep and flexible (in a very MakeNoise way)

For those that don’t know Tim, he is a sound designer and recordist and makes pretty definitive sound libraries for film sound design under the handle Hiss and Roar

Before I returned it I sampled the living be cheeses out of it, both multi-sampled, and a load of long freeform noise generating.

I’ve since thrown a selection of exerts of these into my µFreak and are in some ways able to recreate some of the mayhem of the original.

 

Im sure I’ve been here before…..

Back in 1987 I bought one of these.

Its internal sequencer,  timbral range and the fact it was 8 part multi timbral made it incredibly powerful and amazing value for money for the time.

All these years later I got to be glancingly involved in the design and testing of this recreation.

It sounds GREAT. and gave me a HUGE sense of DejaVue.
