Notes: A complete system which really showcases Make Nose's experimental approach, the Resynthesizer features Make Noise classics like the Spectraphon and Morphagene and hands-on control via the PrssPnt, alll housed in a 4 Zone CV Bus Case.

Supplier's Notes:
The ReSynthesizer can trace its origins to Spring 2023, with Walker and Rodent putting together a collection of modules to announce and demonstrate the Soundhack Spectraphon at Superbooth '23. These modules would need to complement Spectraphon in a way that would show its true capabilities. As such, this specialized layout comprised a single-system overview of the last 8 years of Make Noise module designs.

After Superbooth, Walker and Peter continued to use a similar system configuration in videos for Make Noise's Youtube and Instagram Channels, prompting some folks to speculate if it was to be Make Noise's new 7U system. At that time there were no plans for a new system; in fact, this layout had been intended as temporary all along, but it was made a useful layout in almost all cases. (The layout even gained the popular unofficial moniker "System X" thanks to the speculative work of Cinematic Laboratory and others.) Choices like the unusual placement of the Morphagene, adjacent to Spectraphon, which was initially assumed would be mainly for a very specific use-case, quickly became second nature to patch. The Spectraphon and Morphagene work together to ReSynthesize raw materials into lush soundscapes, microsound manipulations, or wherever the path leads.

In early 2024, Make Noise announced DXG for the easy mixdown of mono or stereo signals, and PrssPnt to add physical touch interaction. With these pieces in place, the ReSynthesizer is born. Pairing the Spectraphon with the Morphagene and the core Make Noise CV generation suite, and housed in the powerful and portable 4 Zone CV Bus Case, the ReSynthesizer is an open design blackboard ready for experimentation and discovery.

Make Noise put this collection through its paces and have found it to hold up to any test thrown at it!
