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.

Analogue is sound generation based on physical electronic circuits such as oscillators, filters, and amplifiers rather than digital processing. It produces continuously variable signals with natural drift, saturation, and harmonic character, giving sounds a distinctive warmth and movement. Analogue instruments are valued for their hands-on control, immediacy, and expressive response in both studio and live performance environments.
Eurorack is a modular synthesis format with standardised dimensions, power connections, and signal levels. Eurorack systems are built from individual modules mounted in cases, allowing users to create highly customisable instruments tailored to specific sound design and performance needs.
Generator is a sound source that creates raw audio signals used as the foundation for synthesis. This can include oscillators, noise sources, or digital sound engines that are shaped and controlled to produce musical tones, textures, and effects.
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.
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.
