A closer listen reveals a much more subtle side to the timbres. For the majority of the Halo range, the effect is kept out of the Mimeophon's feedback chain, but at settings approaching the maximum changes this behavior and allows some of the "smeared" signal to enter the feedback path, giving rise to more dense, lush reverberated tones.Ĭolor, at first sweep, sounds similar to a low-pass filter, ranging in tone from very dark at to bright and shimmery. As the Halo amount increases, the initially subtle, slightly reflective character of the sound gets progressively smoothed and with the knob set midway, the signal isn't obscured or lost in the mist, but gains a pleasing stereo depth. Halo "smears" the sound and fills in the space between individual notes with a washy haze. The Mimeophon has three main areas of sound processing: The main "delay" section consisting of the Repeats, Zone, and Rate sections, Halo, and Color. While it is possible to consider the Mimeophon in terms of discrete parts, each section of the unit interacts with the others in significant-sometimes subtle, sometimes extreme-ways. Make Noise modules can appear a bit cryptic at first, but the Mimeophon is for the most part intuitive, ergonomic, and most importantly, damn fun. Despite everything being fit into a modest 16HP, the Mimeophon feels great and retains an easy performability. ![]() In addition, the Mimeophon has a few buttons at the bottom labeled Flip, Hold, and Skew, a Tempo in for clocking the delay line, and a Rate output. The Mimeophon features of a pair of stereo ins and outs, a wet/dry Mix knob, and five main control sections: Repeats, Zone, Rate, Halo, and Color. Made in collaboration with SoundHack and billed by Make Noise as a "multi-zone color audio repeater," the Mimeophon blurs the line between delay module, effects unit, audio looper, and synth voice, and offers a veritable universe of sound sculpting possibilities. The Color control emulates the sonic response of a wide range of classic effects, including tape echo, BBD-style delays and early digital delay devices.Continuing in the vein of Make Noise's latest module releases, the Mimeophon is a stereo module fitted with an attractive black panel and adorned with their trademark font and hieroglyphic labeling. It’s also equipped with several controls for adjusting the color and timbre of your audio signal. Mimeophon is much more than a simple repeater. The Mix control sets the balance between the input signals and the Repeats, while the Rate knob controls the length and frequency of Repeats. At any given time, the Mimeophon is playing back Repeats from one of a number of color-coded Zones. Mimeophon features two inputs and two outputs and supports mono and stereo signals. ![]() Zones 2-4 are for standard delay and echo effects up to 1.3 seconds, while Zones 5-7 are perfect for looping phrases up to 40 seconds long and creating dynamic, evolving soundscapes. Zones 0 and 1 repeat up to 20 ms of signal to create stuttering and phasing effects, flange, multi-dimensional distortion, and even Karplus-Strong synthesis. ![]() It uses seven color-coded zones to repeat different selections of audio. Inspired by Thomas Edison’s copying machine of the same name, Mimeograph is technically a stereo multi-zone color audio repeater. And with advanced tone-shaping controls and flexible routing, Mimeophon is the ultimate time modulation device. The Make Noise Mimeophon is a synthesis module from Make Noise that uses seven color-coded algorithms to create an array of time-based effects, from phasing and flanging to classic delay effects and a fully-functional looper.
