MakeNoise Mimeophon

[cloverandgrape]

I love "noise" as well but this isn't the good kind. It's like a pitched up frozen Darth Vader's breathing, it has too much character, like an element you could add to a track but now it's on every track you use the module. I love Make Noise, I have many of their modules, but this is a flaw, I don't know if it's hardware related or software but it shouldn't be there.

Mine doesn't do that, but I'd be curious to know how to make it do that? Maybe not all the time, but sounds like a neat noise.

noise is part of the story like a lot of analog modules; if you hate it, sell it

Is mimeophon considered analog? Since it's "firmware" based, I assumed that meant digital.

Nope. Digital

Set the Color to as bright as possible and crank your system's output.

Definitely digital. It was modeled after the DeltaLabs Effectron II 19" rack unit digital flanger/delay from the early 80s (which I actually own along with the original Effectron).

It's talked about here:

I just updated. Made a recording in Ableton before and after same settings the noise floor on mine dropped by 8 db.

Hell yeah, thanks for checking that

Are you sure your Mimeophon has the same input gain setting as it did after the update?

After the update I repeated the test I posted earlier and I get a very similar noise profile -- the level fluctuates by a few dB but it's the same average. (Which is quiet enough for me not to worry about anyway...)

That's not insignificant. Thanks for doing the test. I thought it seemed a bit more tamed.
Cheers.

[Mimmo]

Yes I measured a drop of the noise floor as well after the update, around 10db!

[Mos Eisley]

Didn’t realize there were updates at all for Mimeophon!

I also found increasing Color, above unity added too much noise.

Has anyone else installed the newest update and notice the hiss/noise db levels drop when set closer to dry?

With the update the noise seems more uniform for me, it’s now similar dry or wet. However I have to turn up the levels very high before I can hear any noise.
