FAQ
Q
What is the difference between MATHS and a pair of Functions in Noise music player?
A
The Function is part of the MATHS family. It is similar to channel 1 or 4 of the MATHS. Here are the differences:

Function
The Function has two gate outputs (end of rise, end of cycle) whereas there is only one available on a given MATHS channel. It also has positive and negative outputs available simultaneously. Additionally, the Function has a unique Hang input that allows it to be used as a track & hold or sample & hold. This feature is not available on MATHS. For these reasons, a pair of Functions is more powerful than just channels 1 and 4 of MATHS.

MATHS
MATHS allows its four channels to be combined in various ways via the SUM and OR outputs. It's biggest strengths are in scaling, inverting, mixing and rectification of signals. Its function generators/slew limiters on channels 1 and 4 are slightly less full featured than those on the Function, as detailed above.
Q
How can I control my Make Noise system with a computer or MIDI keyboard?
A
Make Noise systems are designed to work equally well as standalone systems or in conjunction with other instruments and computers. There are several ways of controlling modular systems with computers and MIDI equipped:

MIDI to CV converter. This is a tool that takes MIDI note information via standard MIDI cable and converts it into control voltage and gates for use in a modular system. There are standalone boxes like the Kenton Pro Solo, and also dedicated Eurorack modules such as the Kenton Modular Solo

The company Expert Sleepers makes a software called Silent Way, which allows your audio interface to output and input control voltage. They also make Eurorack modules that fully integrate the computer into the system. This solution may be a bit more expensive than MIDI, but is also much more versatile.
If you require only timing/ synchronization information, it is possible to do this without any additional hardware. Use a spare track/ channel on your drum machine, sequencer or DAW. Program a sharp, short, loud sound on this track. Set the volume for this channel as high as possible. Patch this signal to any clock input in the Make Noise System, the Wogglebug Clock IN, for example.
