Make Noise Shared System (2017–2023)
A Eurorack modular synthesizer system built to be played right away, with patch cables included, in a portable wooden case.
Overview
The Make Noise Shared System is a Eurorack modular synthesizer system. It arrived in December 2017 with the release of the Black & Gold version. It was positioned as a complete, ready-to-play modular setup for first-time modular users, as a local store recommendation noted in 2021. Make Noise discontinued it on November 1, 2023, according to a press release reported by MatrixSynth. It is associated with the Make Noise CV Bus, a Eurorack signal distributor, which suggests the CV Bus is part of the system's design or included with it.
The wooden case is portable. It has rubber feet and a carrying handle. The system comes with 30 patch cables, so you can start patching without buying anything else.
