  • A walkthrough of Make Noise’s newest Eurorack module, XPO, the Stereo Prismatic Oscillator. This video contains a module overview, demo and patch tutorials. We’ll start with a panel tour of the XPO, look at a bunch of different patching ideas for creating interesting stereo imaging effects, explore some patch examples that use XPO in combination with some of Make Noise’s other stereo modules, and finally discuss self-patching and feedback as a means of creating unstable, chaotic, & unpredictable stereo motion.

    24:45 that sounds so familiar and relaxing. I could swear I have hear that type of patch before but can't put my finger on it.

    Great review as always! Only one thing I think was overlooked is patching examples with the two V/oct inputs. That seems pretty unique for a single to have two of them, so seems like that would have been interesting ground to cover patching them simultaneously. I can’t even really imagine how that would sound or how that could be used in an interesting way.

    I have O-Ctrl, Maths, Qpas, and Xpan. I just scored an XPO from a seller I know and trust, so I will have it next week. So much to look forward to!

    As always your video is amazing ! The self modulation patches toward the end are so great ! I always astonished by the speed at which you master the instruments going through your hands ! I was just surprised by the way you used the OSC Sync input, have you tried a more conventional patch with another VCO to see if it still sounds so 'broken' ?

    • @sarahbellereid
      @sarahbellereid  2 года назад +1

      thank you!! yes I did try the sync input with a number of other slightly more normal inputs and the results were very similar (& interesting), so I stuck with Maths for this video mostly to keep a small setup on-screen.

    If you are into chaos sounds check out Sarah's "The Best No Input Mixer? Comparison & Shootout": Wild sounds using only a mixer - no oscillators. A great example of out-of-the-box thinking. Simply brilliant!

  • @BottleMakesMusic
    @BottleMakesMusic 2 года назад

    Chaotic (in a good way). It definitely sounds interesting and full of character, especially the wavefolder - reminds me of the 0-Coast in that regard, but fuller-featured. Having a stereo filter seems to be the way to go to get the most from it (at least to my ears), otherwise the overly dry sound can feel wearing (on headphones). Feed this into a stereo delay and reverb (like say the Microcosm) and sync it all together......oh boy (well, have to start saving now)

    What a great review!
    I really think about to buy an xpo now!
    At 24:45 what does the morphagene do in the patch? Since i don't have one, i'm just curious if the character or the color would change on the xpo without it. I really liked this kind of tone.
    Thanks! :)

  • @andrewnancarrow

    I don’t fully understand how one would make use of two different v/oct inputs with this since it’s only one triangle core oscillator. Any ideas?

  • @surrogatemarker

    Absolutely the best walk through of the Make Noise XPO!! The explanations and demonstrations are very clear and easy to follow.. (Probably because your voice is calming , and has no evidence of the typical Synth demonstrators and influencers who all seem to have mild attention deficit disorder). Your “Expert Hand Model” use of your hands to show the surface controls of the XPO without obscuring what you are doing are exemplary. If you are the talent and the producer, you are to be congratulated. Last, congratulations on your engagement! They better be a musician or loves music! ;-) subscribed!!
