Brand
Make Noise is a boutique American modular synthesiser manufacturer known for experimental Eurorack modules inspired by West Coast synthesis ideas. Founded by Tony Rolando, the brand focuses on instruments that emphasise modulation, timbre, and evolving sound rather than traditional keyboard-based synthesis.
Their modules are widely recognised for unconventional design, playful naming, and deep patching possibilities, often encouraging exploration and non-linear workflows. Make Noise gear is popular with modular users who enjoy hands-on interaction, generative patches, and discovering unexpected musical results rather than relying on presets.
For SynthForSale, Make Noise fits into the experimental Eurorack and modular synthesis category — creative tools designed for adventurous musicians and sound designers who want to push beyond conventional synthesis and explore new ways of making electronic music.

A module is a self-contained unit designed to perform a specific function within a larger system. Modules are commonly used in modular and Eurorack setups, where each unit handles tasks such as sound generation, modulation, filtering, or control, allowing systems to be built and expanded piece by piece.
New Gear is unused and in original condition, supplied as it leaves the manufacturer. It is chosen for guaranteed reliability, full functionality, and the assurance of manufacturer support. For example, buying new ensures access to the latest design revisions, included accessories, and official warranty coverage.
Stereo is a two-channel sound format that uses separate left and right signals to create a sense of width and space. It is used to place sounds across the listening field, making music feel more immersive and detailed. For example, a stereo synth or effect can spread a pad or texture across both channels, giving a track greater depth and separation compared to a mono signal.
A synthesizer is an electronic instrument that generates and shapes sound using oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation sources. It allows sounds to be created from scratch, altered in real time, and controlled through keys, sequencers, or external controllers. Synthesizers are used to produce everything from basses and leads to pads, textures, and experimental sound design in both studio production and live performance.
