Make Noise - X-Pan
- Order number: 190248
- Depth: 30
The new Makenoise module X-PAN is rooted in a simple, but hugely effective idea. By combining two well-known functions - Panning and Crossfading – X-PAN becomes a novel tool for creating complex stereo imagery, fades and morphs. Up to five signals can be combined at the stereo output. ANY kind of signals, as X-PAN is DC-coupled throughout. Hence combining wildly and experimenting with audio(-rate) signals, LFOs, sequences, gates …is something we recommend highly!
X-PAN is a five-channel, voltage controllable stereo mixer. On 10TE the module utilises 10VCAs suitable for audio as well as CV processing. With its high headroom and low noise it won‘t introduce any unwanted distortions to the signals.
The upper part of X-PAN is comprised of two identical channels with two inputs each (A&B) and voltage-controlled crossfader and panning. The third channel on the bottom is a stereo (aux) input with (stereo) VCA and attenuator. All three channels are combined at the stereo sum output.
Since the VCAs can also process DC voltages, the X-PAN is not only limited to complex animations of the stereo field, but can also be used as a "CV morpher". E.g. to merge and morph LFOs or - tip! - to blend sequences into each other.

Manual
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.
