Make Noise - 4 Zone Case

Actually, the case is just waiting to be "fed" by your inspiration or modules and will give its best to be a reliable partner for studio and stage. Even on the outside, the elegant yet robust powder-coated metal construction knows how to convince and offers excellent mechanical resistance. The removable lid can still be closed even when the system is fully patched.
The design was chosen to match the Make Noise Black & Gold modules, but also looks very appealing with those from other manufacturers.

The Make Noise 4 Zone Power Board represents a new approach to accommodate the growing universe of new, different Eurorack modules. The multi-zone solution is the equivalent of four different busboards in a single busboard package. Here, each of the four zones has its own isolated +12 VDC and -12 VDC power supply along with its own ground return path, while the +5VDC supply is shared equally by all four zones.

The CV Big Bus is an evolution of the original CV Bus design from 2013 for Alessandro Cortini's personal Make Noise system. In an effort to accommodate the increased modulation density of the New Universal Synthesizer System, the CV Big Bus doubles the channel count from 4 to 8. These 8 channels are distributed across the center of the system, allowing for quick, clean, and intuitive patching. The numerical indicators are illuminated, providing visual indication of channel number, level, rate and polarity for up to 8 signals to be shared throughout a patch. This distribution method is unlike the typical multiple since the control signals will appear beneath their potential destinations, resulting in less cable mess. The color coding and visual indication makes navigating complex patches easier and more intuitive. Typically, the CV Bus would be used to share the most important control signals in a patch, such as your clock, modulation, sequence, and audio signals - any type of signal the system creates may be shared!

A high quality Stereo Line Driver converts modular synthesizer signal levels to the commonly used Line Level. There are mini-jack inputs for Left or Mono, and Right for Stereo, a single master volume control, as well as a stereo line output pair. The left output doubles as a TRS ⅛” headphone output. These outputs are capable of driving a long cable out to a PA System or a set of Headphones. They are AC coupled with a built-in limiting circuit (with visual indication) that prevents damage to ears and PA system when the patching gets experimental.
