Make Noise - MultiWave

Probably the centerpiece of Make Noise's New Universal Synthesizer System. MultiWAVE is an 8-channel dual wavetable oscillator controlled through a single set of parameters. This design choice is deliberate: instead of tweaking individual voices, you shape all eight channels at once. Turn the Spread knob and watch unison detune into harmonic intervals. Push it fully clockwise, and it functions as a harmonic oscillator. Adjust Modulation Dissemination, and each channel responds differently to the built-in MultiMod LFO. This collective approach encourages thinking in textures rather than precise per-voice programming.

Each channel houses two independent wavetable oscillators (A and B) that can follow one another through four modes or run separately. The Span system determines how channels activate when you send it triggers: Round steps through them sequentially, Channel Index lets you pick an arbitrary order, and Parallel assigns individual clock divisions to each. Feed MultiWAVE a simple monophonic sequence, and the Accumulate function transforms it into polyphonic material. The built-in quantizer keeps pitch organized, while independent v/oct inputs per oscillator plus a global transpose give you flexible routing options.

MultiWAVE ships with custom Make Noise wavetables derived from their own modules and accepts standard Waveedit format tables. Eight banks store eight wavetables each, with 64 waves per table providing smooth interpolation. As the oscillator core of N.U.S.S., it connects directly to PoliMATHS and QXG modules through dedicated headers on the back. Used standalone, it's a capable polyphonic wavetable source. Within the larger system, it becomes part of a hybrid polysynth designed for tight integration. This suits players drawn to evolving clusters, harmonic swells, and textural movements where one parameter adjustment ripples across all active channels according to their Span mode and Spread settings. There have been several attempts at creating new standards for polyphony in Eurorack before; this is Make Noise's idea of how to do it, and it plays nicely with what you already have — it's all very intriguing, and we're keen to see where it leads :)
