This video, via Perfect Circuit Audio, captures an overview and demo of the new Make Noise 0-Coast synthesizer.
The video features Bana Haffar & Eric “Rodent” Cheslak introducing the 0-Coast, at the Perfect Circuit Audio store in Burbank, CA.
The Make Noise 0-Coast, (aka the no-coast), is a new synth that can be used as a standalone module or integrated into a Eurorack modular system. The goal for the O-Coast was to create an all-in-one synth that works well for both the so-called ‘East Coast’ and ‘West Coast’ synthesis approaches.
The 0-Coast can be used with no patch cables, with an internal routing system that provides a version of the classic ‘East Coast’ patch: VCO – Timbral control – VCA + Envelope. It also offers more than two dozen patch points, allowing the sections to be used modularly.
It has a classic oscillator, but attached are two waveshaping circuits, providing both subtractive-friendly waveshapes, as well as additive-friendly waveshapes. There are two envelopes, one reminiscent of the East coast style, being an A(D)SR-staged envelope, with the other being a loopable Rise-Fall envelope commonly used in Buchla and Serge systems.
There is a tap-tempo clock, and random stepped output for modulation and synchronization.

It’s at the end. Someone didn’t finish the video… 😉
ah, just watch a 26 minute video to get a link
really?
just another one of those marketing boo boo
plus the longer you leave a syntopia webpage static, the more likely your web browser will crash
honest
Thank goodness for Perfect Circuit. I love having a shop in the LA area that likes having customers come in, let alone sets up events and demos.
I bet.
Take full advantage of that, as it is rare.
Best shop around. They will let you play anything they have in the store.
There is also Analogue Haven in Santa Monica: http://www.analoguehaven.com/
and NoiseBug in AH’s old location in Pomona: http://www.noisebug.net/ which have great showrooms.
There’s also Big City Music in Studio City, but I have no idea if they have a showroom or are friendly to synth-nerding.
There is a Vintage King Audio: http://vintageking.com/locations#la in LA, open by appointment only.
I’m actually wondering if there are any synth stores in the OC.
AH and BCM are not drop-in friendly. Noisebug is a little far from me.
Manual is up on the Make Noise site now.
Here is a direct link.

Very nice presentation and finally some more professional female presenters the synth industry needs!
Was getting into until i saw the Rhythm Wolf
It’s a synth shop. The Rhythm Wolf was just there on a table full of all kinds of synths (not being used in the presentation). So, yeah, idk why you’d be uninterested by a random synth sitting nearby, but okay.
“Ha! Knew it! It’s called ‘No Coast’ just like the synth!”
“No, you’re wroooong! They call it the ‘zero control’”
“Well, actually, the site says ‘oh control’…”
