Meet MultiWAVE, Make Noise’s new 8-channel wavetable oscillatorMake Noise has unveiled MultiWAVE, an 8-channel dual wavetable oscillator designed for the New Universal Synthesizer System (NUSS) or any Eurorack modular synth.
Make Noise Founder Tony Rolando describes MultiWAVE as “taking the internals of a polysynth and bringing them up to the panel”. At its core, MultiWAVE uses a single set of controls to generate audio waveforms across eight independent channel outputs.
Each channel houses two independent wavetable oscillators (A & B), each capable of loading its own wavetable with variable frequency, modulation, and wavetable position. Every wavetable contains 64 waves, and the module can store eight banks of eight wavetables.

A MultiMod-driven LFO and individual modulation settings for each oscillator give each channel its own character. Combined with Spread and Modulation Dissemination options, users can have variable modulation timing and depth across all voices, letting each of the eight channels behave independently. With the detune knob cranked fully clockwise, MultiWAVE even behaves as a harmonic oscillator, giving you unusually playable additive-style timbres straight out of the box.

MultiWAVE includes an output header for creating pre-patched connections to the audio signal inputs of two QXG modules. When grouped up with PoliMATHS, it creates the 8-channel core of the New Universal Synthesizer System.
Notably, the module can also generate polyphonic activations from monophonic sequences, using Modulation Dissemination, Span modes, Spread, and Accumulate – allowing all eight channels to diverge and evolve simultaneously.
For musicians who want to further customise the identity of MultiWave, you may do so by loading your own WaveEdit-format wavetables. Any or all slots can be replaced with your own custom sets.
Priced at $529, MultiWAVE is available now for pre-order, with shipping to follow later this month and into December.
