Make Noise Tape and Microsound Music Machine

The Tape & Microsound Music Machine is Make Noise's compact, self-contained modular system designed for real-time manipulation of external audio and rich stereo microsound textures. Perfect for experimental musicians, sound designers, and anyone interested in tape-style effects and granular processing.

This system revolves around turning audio "through the mincer" — offering detailed control over playback, pitch, texture, and spatialisation. With a fully stereo signal path, it’s built to handle external sources like field recordings, voice, instruments, or full mixes, transforming them into evolving, otherworldly soundscapes.

The Tape & Microsound Music Machine includes the following modules, pre-installed and fully patched for immediate exploration:

• Morphagene – a stereo microsound recorder/sample manipulator based on tape splicing and granular audio processing

• Mimeophon – a stereo multi-zone color audio repeater (delay/echo/looper) with CV control

• QPAS – Quad Peak Animation System: a stereo multi-peak filter with resonant character and spatial modulation

• XOH – Stereo output mixer with headphone monitoring

• Wogglebug – A classic random voltage generator with audio-rate randomness and clockable sample-and-hold functions

• Maths – The core modulation powerhouse: function generator, envelope, slew limiter, logic processor, and more

With this setup, you have everything you need to sculpt, loop, and morph incoming sounds in complex and musical ways. Whether used for generative ambience, glitchy textures, or rhythmic tape loops, the Tape & Microsound Music Machine is a focused system that invites exploration.
