Noise Square

Versatile Generator of Noises and Square Wave Signals

Discontinued

Noise Square is a versatile generator of noises and square wave signals. There are two analog noise generators: WHITE noise and PINK noise. All other sound sources are generated digitally.

There is METALIC noise, which is a 6 oscillator sound bank similar to 808, but generated digitally (with analog summing) and with TUNE, including CV control option. The DIGITAL noise output has an adjustable TUNE and CV control.

SQUARE and COW outputs have one square wave signal in common, and the COW output has another square signal added in a specific ratio to it to get the cowbell sound easily.

There are 2 CV inputs for controlling the digital sound sources. For the first CV input, there is a switch to select whether it controls the METALIC noise or DIGITAL noise tuning. The second CV input is dedicated to both the SQUARE and COW outputs. The CV inputs react in the range 0-10V.

Features

2 analog noise generators WHITE and PINK
4 digital signal sources
SQUARE is a simple square wave signal
COW is composed of the SQUARE + one additional frequency in the ratio to compose the base for cowbell sound
METALIC is 6 square oscillators summed in analog with frequency ratios inspired by the 808 (can be used as a base for synthesizing hats, cymbals)
DIGITAL is a digital noise source with a tuning option
digital signals with multiple square components are summed in analog
tune controls for METALIC, DIGITAL, and SQUARE (also applies to COW)
common CV input for SQUARE and COW signals
another CV input with a switch to select whether it affects METALIC or DIGITAL
CV inputs react in 0-10V range
