I can't afford it... I'm 51, I won't be able to ever afford it... I use vcv and pure data... Couldn't you guys come up with a sweepstakes? 20$ a ticket? Idk...I just really really really want it!!! Lol... Thanks, love you guys❤️
Great talk by Tony. Although I wished you wouldn't have bleeped out the vactrol prices now and then. Maybe you could've at least put a relative price difference in there. Like "It's now five times as much", or something to that degree. Not THAT important, but an interesting tidbit nonetheless. Well, you have to think beyond vactrols anyway, as they're no longer allowed in the EU, which should be quite a considerable market to you guys. Am I wrong? I'd love to hear more talk by you guys about that subject.
No “shared system 2” you say. That’s fine. Will there be any kind of “system” going into the new 4 bus case? Also, how many WBs did you guys end up making after all these years?
A customized SS (Telharmonic, QPAS, LxD, STO, 2 X Morphagene, Mimeophon, Tempi, Wogglebug, Rene, PP, Maths) was my first serious foray into modular. Got it in March 2020 and it made lockdown tolerable (very enjoyable even). I've got way more modules today, but I still keep that SS together as it feels like a complete instrument to me in a way that my big collection of modules does not...even though my larger modular covers more functionality. Maybe the SS was a product of its time, but so was every instrument of note ever built. It was, and is, a great system.
th-cam.com/video/nMaHN0fNE70/w-d-xo.html This is my favourite experiment I've done in generative ambient patching on the Shared System. I wanted to create something that was dynamic and had emotional phrase arcs. I also avoided using traditional generative method of sample and hold for pitch information. Instead I used the X&Y channels of Rene for the main melodic material, being stepped at different rates, then summed together. One sequence is a simple rising scale, while the other rises in intervals of a third. The lengths of the two sequences are prime numbers and the direction of them will change based on some other unrelated cycle within the patch. This all results in a completely determinative, yet near infinitely changing melody that retains a mostly stepwise motion, characteristic of vocal melodies. All the other elements of the patch serve to create counterpoint and texture to enhance the line.
Wow ! That is an incredible generosity to share this rich perspective in terms creativity and modernity. Everything has to be more than incredible these days, I agree. Specially if its a commercial product. I also relate to that in terms of music creation, where your ideas have to bring something that has not been done, at least some sort of new perspective and that is a lot of pressure. Thank you for this interview, im sure Shared system will stay a modern classic !
My Make Noise and after journey: Besides a quick jaunt with the 0-Coast. The Shared System I had was right before the Rene 2 version was released. That was my first go at modular. I had to sell it during Lockdown due to not getting unemployment payments till Summertime. Now I have a small (hopefully more someday) selection of Rossum, and had a nearly complete R*S Serge eurorack system. Speaking of vactrols… My modular focus is my now full 10-space 200e system, which will be growing slowly towards the 24-space cabinet. My love and now more or less modular dedication (timewise and financially speaking) to Buchla 200e would not have been made possible without the Make Noise Shared System. I would love to put together a case of MN again , as I had always wanted to add and subtract from the SS to make something more specific to me, though I tend to like the aesthetic and UI design focus of singular makers; its just how my brain is.Again, MN’s approach to that led me to 200e and Serge, and Rossum. Let me stop here.
Love my Make Noise Shared System and other Make Noise modules so fun and great experimental sound tools. The quirky approach to synthesis is a nice change from basic subtractive synths and freedom from presets on traditional fixed hardware synths.
Just some feedback : I think the 0 format was a step in the right direction, keeping the good aspects of eurorack and discarding some formalities of modular. I would like to see more designs that resemble stand alone instruments such as Strega. I’m a bit selfish but I don’t think I’m alone in saying that eurorack often feels cramped , maybe larger controls would be nice , if all of your hardware grew by 30% it would be nice.
The interview had to be edited for clarity, length and flow, so unfortunately not every question that was submitted made it in. Sorry about that. What was the question?
@@simoantere7283 Optomix is Direct Coupled so you can use it to modulate the modulation. Patch an LFO or Random voltage to the Signal In and patch the Out to modulation destinations and then Strike it!
My brain read this video's title as "Tony Hawk's Shared System" and I got really excited for a split second!
Birdman ordered a system for one of his kids yrs ago, and he later told us it was getting used quite a bit.
@@tonyrolando I remember being told this. I bet you and rodent were stoked to sell him one!
I’ve never been more curious as to the price of vactrols than I was 17 seconds ago!
Does this mean that Maths will now be produced in black and gold? Cos the Reverb prices are crazy.
Can we get Benedict Cumberbatch & Walker in the same room?
I don’t know what prompts the comment, but it does sound like a good time! -W

Wow, that original shared patch is absolutely amazing and it still sounds like 2023.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Part 3 could be a No Talking Jam on the new system? please?
I'm so happy I got mine before you stopped producing it. I love it
Just got mine also 🤠
me too! I did add a Brains to mine to make Pressure Points more useful.
I kinda went down the System Concrète route. Still patching, still getting surpises. Great stuff 🖖
same here mine is a scratchpad
eurorack willy wonka
🍫
Optomix is the only mixer i need

Shout out to Dash. I shared a bill with him in SF before lockdown. He performed a wonderful set with a shared system!
Dash is a fantastic musician and a great music writer too!!
RIP dreamboat. Thanks for all the great videos on this mother.
Dash Lewis! Gardener is an amazing musical project.
Incredible performance at the end!
Thanks!
thank you Tony, shared system is great, hope to see more video about you ideas!
I am working on movie soundtracks and the Make Noise Shared System is perfect for sound design work!

Tony is the goat!

a modern day Buchla@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC
Damn, I had the plan to finally get a shared system next year :(
sounds pretty jaded!
great series of videos and what a wonderful piece at the end. bravo tony and make noise ⚡
⚡️🎶⚡️
yall should collab with the harvestman 🥲
Funny clock

Awesome vid and excellent performance at the end!
Thanks!!
MIND = BLOWN - I will never be the same + again \||/^
The Vias from Starling make great use of the illuminated front panel look.
I love what you do!
Tony got a new toque!?
Does it drone?
Daaaang, that jam at the end is sick!
Thanks!
Why didn't you answer to my question regarding the Optomix?
The interview had to be edited for clarity, length and flow, so unfortunately not every question that was submitted made it in. Sorry about that. What was the question?
I was simply asking Tony's favorite techniques with the Optomix, besides the obvious bongo patch.

Haven't tried that yet. Will try on the weekend!@@tonyrolando
