Make Noise 0-Coast Manual - page 5
The 0-COAST is a single voice patchable synthesizer. It’s name reflects the fact that it utilizes techniques from both the Moog and
Buchla paradigms (aka “East Coast,” and “West Coast,” due to their locations), but is loyal to neither and thus implements “no coast
synthesis.”
While the 0-COAST utilizes classic modular
synthesis techniques, we designed it to operate
with or without the use of patch cables. The
necessary connections have been made from
circuit to circuit (Fig. 1) so it operates as an
expressive, musical MonoSynth. Using only the
MIDI controller of your choice you could apply
new timbres to your existing musical forms!
Using the included Patch Cables you could get
more scientific, experimenting with new ways to
wire up the circuits. You might even forgo MIDI
altogether, disappearing into a cloud of analog
FM induced Sidebands and harmonics scattered
around a single fundamental drone that has
nothing to do with any form of music you’ve ever
known!
The second half of this manual travels deeper
into the operation of the 0-COAST, teaching you how to override the internal signal routing using Patch Cables so that you may
create new variations of the MonoSynth, experiment with drones, and allow the 0-COAST to converse with other analog synthesis
circuits, modular synths, and more.
