GREAT WALL is a harsh noise / harsh noise wall synth i've been working on for a couple months or so. it attempts to provide an environment for anybody to explore a huge spectrum of harsh noise sounds, which is usually somewhat obnoxious to do on a desktop computer. "feedback" doesn't really exist in computers the way it does in the world of audio hardware, and since feedback is so much of what makes a lot of these sounds what they are, it can be frustrating to attain them without investing in gear.
rather than employ much actual feedback (latency is involved when doing so, so its uses are limited), GREAT WALL simulates certain aspects of feedback and the amplification of audio circuits through a huge web of oscillators, filters, delays, and clippers. just about every one of the controls on it is a macro control adjusting many internal parameters, and a huge number of the controls also have influence on one another. there's not really any use explaining what any of them do as a result. the main "generator" can be patched out as a controller for some of the other functions on the synth, which makes for several additional layers of exploration.
it can also attempt to use the filters to track the pitch of your midi input (which usually just controls the generator rate), but the use cases for this will probably be fairly few and far between.
while there are many ways to push it into relatively textureless screeching, i've tried to tune all of the controls so that most of the settings are interesting. this is a little difficult when each of the controls is doing so many things, but i feel that i've mostly succeeded in narrowing it down to a sweet spot; it's very easy to quickly get bouldery noise walls, metallic scratching and screaming, and most things in between.

god damn, that's awesome!
i didn't know about the existence these VSTs, and more when are free!
someday, i'll really like to create my own synth VST, that's so awesome :)
i encourage you to explore it! there are some node-based environments that are very accessible, like synthedit (which i use) and flowstone (used by the awesome rex basterfield @ flowstoners). beyond that there are libraries such as JUCE that can assist in lower-level work if you really want to dive in, but that kind of stuff is still very beyond me.
@@emmaessex thx!
And do it now. Never someday.
good, as always, Emma, thank you for that gift. it made me feel relaxed & soothed my internal pain.
i liked that part 5:13, felt like NIИ Closer Animal
💙️💜️🧡️
Dont be so dramatic.. smh
thank you for kickstarting my noise career.
im so excited for this!!
great work emma! i might have to try this out soon.
looks really easy to use, and sounds great. will be trying this. thanks!
very awesome! i've wanted to get into making noise music for a while now but have been very put off by the cost of equipment and this just makes it so much more accessible! thank you very much for making this ❤️
nowadays everything you need to make music is just a laptop, sure it's good to have real instruments, they're a nice convenience but not fundamentally necessary.
@@Violant3 this is absolutely true, of course. but noise music in particular benefits hugely from working in the hardware realm, especially when dealing with analog gear with no latency (or specialized digital gear with very negligible latency - it needs to be chosen with its latency in mind, since that latency will color the sound drastically). working with feedback in the digital realm is just not the same. mere samples (unit of time in this case) of delay even at high sample rates completely change the tone of the sound and can be the difference between a phenomenal sound bed and an undesired metallic buzz. in feedback, all of the tiniest aspects of the path the sounds take are amplified to infinity, and even the choice of cable will change the sound's tone since you're getting down to such a fundamental level. routing feedback loops in software is generally hot garbage to deal with (if the software even lets you do it at all), so that's where something specialized like this comes into play. i've made entire records focused around feedback as the starting point for the vast majority of sounds and it's fundamentally totally different in software. so yes, you can make most music in software, and i do, but there are many aspects of hardware that are simply not replicated in software and may not ever be replicated until we are computing every audio task in a daw in parallel rather than serially, and at audio rates that are frankly absurd.
i would recommend checking out Sarah Belle Reid's no-input improvisations to get a better idea of it in one of its rawest forms czcams.com/video/kksUzEaR8Ms/video.html
@@emmaessex I Didn't know about that, in this case when you need to go down to the core electronic and analog aspects of the sound then it makes sense to go that route.
@@Violant3 Not even a convenience necessarily, real instruments have a higher learning curve to mic properly and process properly, but they are nice to capture nuances in playing you couldn't otherwise.
@@graysonwilson3343 I use a lot of feedback and my work is more drone and tape based including spoken word, mangled. I have a few oscillator drone box's but the sound generated by acoustic instruments is a really rich starting point sonically. I have a stack of things I pick up from second hand stores. I've mounted a strategy copy pick up on an adjustable frame to use on small steel strung instruments such as a Lyre, a Cimbala and a Psaltery. I built an industrial Ektara from a gallon can and a pair of aluminium rules, it has a strat pickup and a contact mic. Lots of fun bowed, I wound an iron string for it and it has a deep scale.
oh this is really sick
epic looking plugin
Lots of screaming, i like it
Quite atmosoheric although my head is dying from the loud noises
you may be listening too loudly - always look after your ears and heed your body's warning signals! as fun as the intensity of high volume can be, it is especially dangerous via the combination of headphones & mid-high frequencies.
@@emmaessex true, i think i heard somewhere you can only listen to really hjgh volumes for 15 minutes until getting deaf, like when a loud jet starts off or smthn
Big fan of those sounds :3
Just great!
this is awesome
Insane!!
this is great , thanks for the tip
WOW, noise modular 😎I will try this at home 😁😎
I really need a mobile ver of this, really good ngl.
good stuff
hey, is there any chance of there being an AU version of this on your website?
Being a fellow CMOS chip serial abuser and pedal feedback artist, I really enjoy a lot of your video's. I even went out and bought a Blurst whilst my Gristliser was poorly. Good recommendation. This is excellent for a HNW performer travelling light to gigs. I'm going to try and get it onto one of my laptops. Throw in a couple of pedals and an mp3 player with some samples and you're away. The graphics look great as well. It'd be a fine physical device as well. Arduino or Teensy?
What a mess
Love it
This is great, is it it still available, looking for a stand piece of software to use in my set, respect out
Does it run on mac?
@emmaessex does it works on Ableton on Mac? i tried to copy vst file in the vst3 folder but seems not to works and i have aldo renamed .dll but no way :(
How do I use it on fl studio?
Looks like the website for this was shut down. Discontinued?
will you release this as an audio unit?
What software’s can you use it on
I don`t have sound from this synth. What can it be?
The Creature
It is interesting to come across another person who likes both chiptune and harsh noise.
I've been writing both (and other stuff) on and off for about 20 years now and when it comes to noise I've never been able to get the kind of behavior I want when working with feedback on computers.
It's a shame because my favorite way to write is on a computer, I have lots of hardware but it usually just collects dust. This looks pretty sweet though. Have you ever tried the experimental music software from the person who makes Gleetchlab (I don't want to butcher his name, I think it's Giorgio Sancristoforo)?
Cheers,
Matt
It was made via synthedit ? Ya visuals are always on point
Thoughts full
Can you release these as vst plugins too?
they are. if you mean vst2 rather than vst3, then no, i can't. it's outside of the terms of the current vst sdk as i didn't apply for a license prior to vst2's discontinuation. i explain this on the plugins page and also make note of possible workarounds. most "recent" DAWs etc will support 64bit vst3.
@@emmaessex aight thx
i don't have sound when i try to use it :( looks sick tho
any idea how we can get this these days?
if you follow the link it'll take you to my site's 404 page, and the left panel has a "plugins" link. i migrated servers and rebuilt my site so none of the old links are valid now
really want to use this but its broken. put it into the correct folder and still not showing up in fl studio.
try renaming the .vst3 file to .dll and loading it with your regular vst2/3 files. this workaround is also mentioned on the site. if that doesn't work you might be SOL.
@@emmaessex im so dumb dude lol, thank you, great plugin
How do you make these ?
i use synthedit
screechy screechy
How could one use this? in music/sound design
however one would prefer. sometimes you just want to make some harsh noise / harsh noise wall sounds. sometimes you want it to be part of something else. a huge amount of my work has harsh noise sprinkled throughout since i've off and on made noise music from the start. the textures are interesting to me and there is an expressive intensity and meditative aspect that has always worked for me. i would assume that those that get nothing from the style on its own would have a harder time finding more "typical" uses for it.
@@emmaessex Actually I agree about it being meditative, though everytime I saw one of these synths I initially thought it was geared towards something specific
highkey look foward to the day of this plugin's release. Maybe something crazy will come out of it :3
I hope u have a good one in the event ur reading this
So cool, R U MTF also?
5:43 peppino
oooooooooooooooooo
ohohOOO I’m definitely gonna use these sounds for evil
my laptop running 2 google
so much time and gear to do this and they just... put it in a free plugin
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEGINNING OF PULSE DEMON
one of the all-time greats. grand owl habitat also rules and is extremely overlooked as far as merz joints go
SHITE.... 🙄
Not a fan of those sounds to be honest.
@@q-miiproductions878 fair enough lol
