The Make Noise 0-CTRL is a patchable, clock-capable controller and step sequencer for Eurorack and semimodulargear like its siblings Strega and 0-Coast.
As a capacitive touch controller and sequencer, the Make Noise 0-CTRL walks in the footsteps of legendary touch plate controllers by Buchla and Serge. At its heart are eleven touchplates that react on contact with the fingers of the human hand. Sequences can be controlled with the three left ones. Clock switches the internal clock on or off, while Direction can be used to change or switch the running direction. Interrupt can be used to determine whether the running sequence should be interrupted when touched. The eight touchplates to the right can be used to manually select the step and to activate the dedicated pressure CV and gate outputs. The latter can be used e.g. to realize sequences with less than eight steps. Three knobs are assigned to each touchplate. The lowest one is normalized to the Time-CV input attenuator to its right and allows creating sequences with different durations per step. The middle row (normalized to Strength-CV-Input-Attenuator) is responsible for the intensity of the dynamic gate and envelope outputs. Together with the Contour circuit of the 0-Coast or when used with VCAs or lowpass gates, signal levels can be dynamically changed with it. The dynamic decay envelope works great with the Dynamics section of the 0-Coast or for opening lowpass gates or VCAs. The pitch controls, on the other hand, allow you to adjust the pitch per step. The numerous CV inputs (Strength, Time, Clock, Dynamic Reset, Stop and Direction) allow for highly variable sequences. Whether you want to be "tactful" or are looking for broken-up, "crazy" sequences, 0-CTRL is an ideal partner for more control in sequencer-based exploration of your synthesizers.

8 gate outputs per step (patch programming sequence behavior and triggering of unique events per step)
Synchronization with other devices via Clock-Input or Clock- and Gate-Outputs
interrupt allows sequencer operation and sound manipulation by hand at the same time
robust steel case (like 0-Coast and Strega)

Already interested in electronics at the early age of 12, Tony Rolando learned everything about circuits and musical instrument design by himself. He worked for Moog Music for a while and some sabbatical years, he founded Make Noise in 2008 in Asheville, North Carolina. By now, his reinterpretation of the Serge DUSG, Maths, is probably the most ubiquitous module in the eurorack universe ever. Make Noise continues to surprise with new and inspiring modules, including collaborations with Tom Erbe of Soundhack.
