Noise boards

damn
look at all them knobs

My Knobs My Knobs My Sexy Lady Knobs...

I've been rocking a pretty minimal setup lately. Two Micro Black Death synthesizers and a M.A.S.F. OSC03 into my mixer. No effects (gasp).

[Haki]

YES. YES ANCIENT. YES DELAYDECAY.

I'MMA DO IT. I think part of why I hadn't had a noise setup in forever is because I never wanted to take my delays off my board. But since I've got two spares atm, I'm gonna put something together next week and get recording. Thinking I need a Moog Ring Mod again

You do! The Moog and Goatse are my favourite pedals for noisy drone stuff.

Output of a mixer running into one of the inputs with a shitload of pedals in the chain. Wah pedals in feedback loops are fucking crazy, by the way.

I use a 4ms atoner for generating a drone and fucking up whatever goes into it, plus my fuzzes in a combination of the utter stutter and chk chk boom, like I'll have the atoner doing a constant drone, something in the utter stutter doing a pulsed noise and the chk chk boom for extra momentary fun. Plus lots of modulation, delay and reverb.

I'm always having to find ways to work around my lack of hardware oscillators, which is actually pretty fun. For a while, I'd use my Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone through delay to stretch out a single note as long as possible. That was especially fun because of the background noise that would come up as the PT tried to keep the note alive. Then I got my Freeze, which has been great. I've recently downloaded Dr. Om, which is a great drone simulator app by Fluxama. I've also got their Noisemusick app, which simulates a number of chip-based mini-oscillators. And then there's always delay ay ay ay ay... Love my Skullservant Cave Dweller and Red Panda Particle (often together) for bringing the crazy. Just started messing with feedback loops, too, via my Samurai Switch.

And then there's the modulation! Sea Mchine, Rainbow Machine, Aria DMX-10... and my Red Panda Bitcrusher (which actually makes great noise wen you plug it into itself)... man, I wanna zone out on some drones now...

Man, I'd love to have a Drone Commander and Pitch Grinder.
Thinking about investing in ye olde Rot Yr Brain.

now a days, i record vocal samples from black exploitation movies or porn and 3 or 4 samples of the trogo 666 doing weird shit and fire them off at the same time in a never ending loop for a sort of sonic foundation.

then i use a contact mic'ed computer panel plugged into 2 fuzz pedals and an eq. with everything on, i beat the shit out of the panel with a chain, pole, other pieces of metal, scrape it with beer bottle caps, ect. sampler and pedals are routed into a little DOD resistance mixer with the output going into a powered JBL speaker. everything is usually velcro'd into a rondo pedal board. i really only want to plug in one or two power cords for my shows for a quick get away.

Can you post sounds/Songs? I'm super curious.

+1.

I would really like to work more with proper oscillators. i've been using envelope filter and tremolo to simulate some dedicated oscillator effects. yeah, i know, the tremolo is pretty much a primitive oscillator. but i really want some ring modulator/VCO boxes, maybe a drone dealie like the Skychord stuff or the Synthmonger or one of those Snazzy FX units so i can get Cluster/Harmonia-style drones.

[Achtane]

Thread inspired a redo of my jank. I spliced the jacks on the back of the fantastisuper 80's EQ so there's only one in and one out -- it's now a dual toan generator thing. Low lows to shrieking highs, nicely distorted and uglied up.
It goes into the PM7 and those two comprise the Utter Stutter's loop...the contact mic'd pedalodica (or whatever other instrument) also comes in here. That then goes into the DTJr and TAFM, into the Electribe where things get mangled via filters, oscillators and effects, but you can also route the drums and synths back into itself for even more fun.
Having the ability to record knob motions is SUPER AWESOME. For every other noisy thing I've done, it's been mostly the Electribe alone.
The left EMX out goes into the HM-2 wannabe, right is the Big Spider.
From there one of them goes into my cassette looper, both end up at the PC.

If I had a few more patch cables, a tiny mixer and a real 4-track cassette recorder thingy I'd be in bidness.

DUDE thank you these are SOOOOO much fun! Also figure from propellerhead is wicked fun.

I like your style

I'm personally not much of a fan of anything other than dirt, delay and a filter (or two) in my setups; I've gravitated recently towards the more lo-fi/murky end of the noise spectrum (Skin Graft, Arv & Miljo, all that "post-mortem" Scandinavian stuff, etcetc) as opposed to the hi-fi and more dynamic Japanese stylings and, well, I never liked flange/phase/etcetc in noise. Most recent setup for something that might get released soon was a Rat -> DFX9 -> Buzz Box -> HM2. Recorded, very hot, onto type I tape, of course.

Going to try and ditch the pedals altogether (or maybe just have one or two, prolly the Rat and maybe my incoming Trogo 77) and focus more on finding a nice space to record myself throwing and dragging various metal objects in. The idea's been floating around in my head for a while, but the most recent Sewer Election LP has kindof pushed me over the edge. Probably won't make it a permanent stylistic change, but it'd be good to move beyond tablecore harsh noise setups.
