MSxxNoise (Mono)

Description

Please be careful when using high resonance-levels of the filter, especially in combination with a higher filter-drive. The sound can get quite loud and nasty.

Here is a little demo-track done with MSxxNoise with reverb added in the DAW:

MSxxNoise uses a filter design modeled after the Sallen Key Filter as used with the Korg 35 chip of the early Korg PS3100/PS3200/3300 or MS10/MS20/MS50, hence the name of the plugin. Later Korg replaced the design with minor changes in sound, but that’s yet another story.
The second main building block of this TBD plugin is a phaser which is modelled after the Electro Harmonix small stone.
These two modifiers can be used alone or in combination with the internally provided noise or any external signal. In addition, filter modulation can be added. As with many Korg instruments the LFO is called MG (Modulation Generator) instead.

Usage / Patch Ideas

Normally the patches will be driven by MSxxNoise’s main building blocks:

  • External Input

  • Noise Generator (Pink/White)

  • Filter (Including Drive)

  • Filter Modulation Generator

  • Phaser

The Filter and the Phaser can be completely disabled. Patches can be derived by applying the filter in combination with filter-modulation and the phaser, the filter alone, the phaser alone on external input or the internal noise. It even can make sense to use the external input alone with the built in noise-sources. As always please feel free to experiment!
