I'm looking to purchase a noise oscillator for my eurorack. Anyone have suggestions?

i love my a118. many will vote noisering.

chvad · Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 11:42 am Post subject:

I have a Noisering and love it but I think the noise out is a tad thin sounding. The a-118 noise has a nice heft that you can sculpt to something thinner if needed.

I have four old portable mini B/W TV's that also have AM and FM radio, the 3.5mm mono headphone out's are great noise sources. Used them here yesterday extensively, you can really hear the noise sources being used:

ah yeah! radio is great... keep once next to the rig just for that reason!

+1 for the A-118 thumbs up

a-118.
it does exactly what it says on the tin.

taco blocko · Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 4:19 pm Post subject:

The A-118 is really nice indeed. I've heard good things about the Wogglebug, but haven't tried it. Anyone care to chime in?

tommaso · Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 4:37 pm Post subject:

Wogglebug clocked at audio rate vomits scary noises...but I prefer to use it for modulations purpose..and I also prefer to filter (lp, bp, hp) the sound of a "classic" analog white noise... With the a118 you have that classic white noise ready to filter hyper

and you have also an already filtered blue and red noises (the red one is veryvery FAT) plus the random out is really fun w00t

noisering, zorlon and radio. Sometimes the zorlon noise sounds great!

I loved LOVED the audio noise from the zorlon cannon. Best noise I've ever heard.

tcb · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 6:19 pm Post subject:

i only own a noisering, but will say i like the sound of it...just right to my ears

I tend to use the Trogotronic 666M, at certain settings it gives a thunderous noise source for percussion.

The Snazzy FX dreamboat heavily modulated is another good one for creating a different kind of "noise" source.

As mentioned by others the Doepfer one and the Walekko Noisering are both great too.

sunnyb · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:13 pm Post subject:

i use a noisering and a .shn, very happy with both. best noise ive ever heard was on my old yamaha cs15d though.

Pascal · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:46 pm Post subject:

doepfer, noisering and zorlon

C_C · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 10:12 pm Post subject:

Just a Noisering, haven't needed anything else.

thetwlo · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:09 pm Post subject:

a-118!
they vary a bit, but an essential module, even with noiserings and a zorlon. And even the m/666, it's cheap, you should have a real analog noise source.

Alwaysnew · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:10 am Post subject:

A118! Very versatile thumbs up

amsonx · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:07 am Post subject:

A-118 and and SW radio

hawklord2112 · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:22 am Post subject:

A118 at the moment, thinking about switching to an STG .SHN for the size saving.

kimu · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:51 am Post subject:

currently have A-118 from Doepfer and it works very well with lots of sonic possibilities plus i also own a MFOS Wierd Sound Generator.

looking also for the Analogue Solution SH-NZ

causticlogic · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:59 am Post subject:

A Noisering through a JAG then send some that through another Noisering and JAG combo and all the rest of the CV fun into a GWS into a Trogo 666 that's jacked full. After that, more CV and signals into a Plague Bearer, Sound of Shadows, and a Trogo 676. Holy freaking hell...

Why just have random when you can make random noise more random and distort the hell out of it?

ping panic · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 3:48 am Post subject:

Talkin' about noisering...
Malekko build more units asap! World can't be without noisering and maths' stock at the same time!!!

Elby Designs 115 - SH-Noise and doepfer digital & analog noise module.

sabasan · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:51 am Post subject:

zorlon is a very good pitched noise vco

felixer · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:48 am Post subject:

several different ones. because they all sound different. and give different result with s/h etc. not just the difference between analog and digital but also between, say doepfer and korg. also try a radio on static. you might/will have to boost the signal to get a decent -5/+5V output.

A-118, super useful.
Noise source from the ARP 2600.

analogPedagog · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 1:07 am Post subject:

Sorry I cant help myself, new noise module on the horizon: Quantum Rainbow.

Two outputs each of White, Pink, Red, Blue and Purple noise. All the noise you need for modulation, S&H, percussion etc. In 6hp.

dalasv · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 2:24 am Post subject:

I also use a Noisering because it's the only white noise source I have, but from the looks of it, that's pretty good.

Noisering here, which BTW at least three dealers in the U.S. were still showing stock last time I looked.

RealDudes · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 3:25 pm Post subject:

radio + A119(if it's not already in use)

DonaldCrunk · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:50 pm Post subject:

noisering + .shn here as well, very satisfied with both. .shn makes some fantastic snares, and combined with the .com and a trigger source there's a lot of CV pattern weirdness to be had in addition to the noise.

matttech · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:00 pm Post subject:

had: a118, a117.....slightly miss the a118

have: analogue radio, SH-NZ (thin sounding noise, but fine for S+H etc...)

but then the cyclebox does noise ’n stuff, so i’m not sure i even need one noise source now

radio noise is fun:

I use a .shn which works great for me.

arnoux · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:12 pm Post subject:

Korg MS20, it has a noise generator that produces white and pink noise at a pretty high volume, plugged into an A-138d. I use it for my snares, I love that thing!

RichyHo · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:21 pm Post subject:

I have A-118, Noisering and Cyclebox. Of the three I'd have to say that (to my ears) the A118 has the perfect combinations of noise and randomness. It's on my 'keep forever' list, right next to my A-148.

misa · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:21 pm Post subject:

Dieter Doepfer customized my A-118 when I sent it in because the noise was too quiet. He replaced a transistor and added a resistor. Now it's very loud noise (like the mentioned MS-20) and leaves nothing to be desired...^^

I often use the random out from the A-118, too.

j9k · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:24 pm Post subject:

I've been using the noise from the DrumDokta DDB expansion module.

The Modcan FMVDO has many flavors of noise and much much more.

matttech · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 6:25 pm Post subject:

yeah, once you realise oscs contain a fair amount of noise, especially when FM-d heavily, a separate noise source seems a little bit like overkill

i guess it’s got its place sometimes though

maybe i’m just spoilt for oscs seriously, i just don't get it

thetwlo · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 2:04 am Post subject:

and the Plague Bearer is my fav CV source. NO input crank it an go, add some to the Hi/Lo cv ins and explore. it can be very random and scratchy like an old 78 or more controlled.

Exuviae · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 6:36 am Post subject:

Elby S/H and Noisering. One for each case - never underestimate the usefulness of a noise source.

ferran · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 10:43 am Post subject:

Lots of schemas of a DIY noise circuit on the Net, I built a very simple one and works like a charm. cool

vlk · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 4:23 pm Post subject:

diy miss10 noise / sh / lfo

level is a little bit low but can be boosted without worrying about s/n ratio

madcap · Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 9:16 am Post subject:

I am currently building Roman's Buchla Source of Uncertainty euro-clone.

Pretty stoked about that.

In the mean time, Ive been using the Silent way LFO with the NOISE setting cranked up with no other modulations.

Ive also pumped audio down the the SW pipe, including noise only from virtual synths and lo-fi'd recordings that are over abused with "vinyl simulators" and other shiz. Soundforge has a Tone generator that can be set up to produce various spectra noise audio files of any length.

I'm using portable TV sets that also have FM/AM radio that are great noise sources.

On this track you can hear four TVs as noise sources.

matttech · Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2012 7:46 pm Post subject:

tIB came up with an ace idea yesterday, to emulate the repeating patterns of the noisering: sample some actual noise, or record some off the radio. drop it into your project (in Logic, Cubase etc..). then cut it up into bar chunks and arrange them here and there, looping round for a while before changing. pump it out of the ES3 (or similar) into a sample and hold or quantizer. sweeeeeet! thumbs up

swiv · Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:40 am Post subject:

Nice one, no noisering here, but will try this with the phonogene, splicing noise sampled from HH808 and sent through Quantimator!

radio, 3 x imp, random noise from drumdokta clap expander.

want a noisering, been delaying this for way too long

mhtones · Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 7:50 pm Post subject:

Noisering here, but also have used shortwave and am grundig. I like the radio option because with a flick of dial you have all different flavors of noise and partial audio makes for cool unexpected things.
