The latest loopop video takes a look at 22 ways you can use a Make Noise Maths Eurorack module and why it’s one of the most popular Eurorack modules made.

Video Summary:

Maths sounds complicated and if you’ve heard some of the terms used to describe it – an analog computer, a function generator and various other quadratic equations, it may seem a bit intimidating, but overall, it has three core components: attentuverters, a mixer and slew rate limiters.

It is however the combination of these things, which a few bonus features, that makes Maths such a versatile module.

22 Ways To Use A Make Noise Maths Eurorack Module

1. Audio level control (for example, to reduce eurorack audio levels to line level)

2. A simple voltage generator

3. Mod depth control for external LFOs and envelopes.

4. Signal/waveform inversion

5. An audio mixer

6. Slew for glide/portamendo effects.

7. It has multiple ways to trigger envelopes.

8. It can generate two separate AD (Attack-Delay) Envelopes.

9. Envelope curves can be linear, exponential, logarithmich, or any combination thereof, generating “sharkfin” type envelopes.

10. It can generate ASR (Attack-Sustain-Release) envelopes

11. Various type LFOs

12. Math can behave as a voltage controller oscillator (VCO)

13. By creating two VCOs and patching one to the other you can create FM style sounds

14. With a bit of patching, Maths can create extremely slow LFOs (up to 25 minutes)

15. Maths can behave as an envelope follower…

16. … which can be used as Sidechain

17. It can be a simple clock…

18. … and perform as a clock divider

19. You can mix envelopes and LFOs to create complex shapes, such as a fast LFO riding a slow LFO

20. The OR output can be used to create even more complex waveforms, as well as act as a rectifier that only allow positive voltages.

21. Maths can process sounds fimilar to a filter with optional resonance

22. In a pinch, Maths can act as a VCA
