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.

WARNING– MAYHEM:

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.
