Make Noise Telharmonic

Multitrack demos so often obscure the raw sound source - so here are the raw unprocessed samples broken out - no EQ, compression or effects of any kind, followed by a fully (home) produced multitrack composition. All parts are from the Makenoise Telharmonic except the last clicky kik part, a sine from the Cyclebox. Sequences played from Rene sequencer. Also posting a full version of the piece here

I would suggest reading the manual to get started:

You could also look at some of our videos on our youtube channel:

Nothing good comes easy... modular synthesis is no different then learning any other instrument. Takes time.

okay. thanks .. I am on the manual ... too weird tho ... ur vid only shows static ;(

Nice! Really like the part around 2:00.

Some of my experiments with Telharmonic as main voice.
The patch was inspired by atonal music theory and classical vocalise examples by Rachmaninoff, Fauré and Medtner.
Vocal is recorded on a tape and processed by Clouds.
More explanations below the video on YouTube.

Apparently this thing is now retired. :-(

‘The goal with the tELHARMONIC was to present three historically important pioneering electronic music tone generation techniques less often implemented within the modular synthesizer: Additive Harmonic synthesis, inspired by Thaddeus Cahill's original Telharmonium [1897]; Noise synthesis, inspired by James Tenney’s 1961, early computer music piece "Analog 1: Noise Study;” Phase Modulation synthesis, inspired by early commercial digital synthesis from the 1980's.’ (Extract from Make Noise tELHARMONIC manual).

Hi Igor, All,

Igor: Nice demo track! Nicely honouring the Telharmonic :-)

All: That's a pity to hear that the module has been "retired". Luckily I got one however for everyone who considers one it's a shame. It's a rough module and difficult to keep it under control though. I love the sounds you can make with it. In the below link you will find a demo track of mine where the second voice of the sequencer is done with the Telharmonic.

If you just want to hear pure the Telharmonic only (without the Plaits blearing as a first voice over the Telharmonic strings then check it as from about 5:43 till about 6:04. Kind regards, Garfield.

Here is my tribute to the tELHARMONIC from a couple of years ago. A really simple jam with just a few voices.
http://umbrastudio.net/assets/01-01-Flow-Processing.wav

tELHARMONIC is the final voice to make an appearance, comes in at 0:54 (Natural Gate used for the envelope on it).

Percussion is Mod.Brane 11, BIA (pingish sound), and a drum loop.
Lead voice, I don't remember.
Another voice from SSSR Labs SM042 Kotelnikov (enters at 0:30), which pairs nicely with the tELHARMONIC.

GarfieldModular - Yesterday, I enjoyed listening to "Sequencer's Violence" when you posted it and I sat here thinking about all the ways I still haven't explored the tELHARMONIC. Maybe someday.

Hi Cmb_,

He, he, that's a nice track with a lot of fun in it, I like that. That kind of make happy music, it provides me with positive energy.

Yes, the Telharmonic is a real dark horse, isn't it? :-) Thanks a lot for sharing your great track and kind regards, Garfield.
