Firmware Updates for Multiwave, PoliMaths and MultiMod
When it rains, it pours. And right now, it’s a veritable monsoon at Make Noise, as the company has blessed us with not one, not two, but three firmware updates for modules from its NUSS system.
First up is Multiwave, which gets a new Mod shape called Cross Mod. This lets the oscillator receive wave position modulation from the other oscillator. There is also a new quantizer mode with several custom scales, including major, minor and others.
Next, PoliMaths. You can now use the Strength control to generate offsets. Turning this up without activating channels lets connected QXGs be used as a mixer for droning. Oscillations can also go slower than previously possible.
Lastly, MultiMod has received a few improvements, including to the channel index output.
All three of these Make Noise NUSS module updates are available now at the Make Noise update site. You can find out more about the updates in the manuals.
Make Noise products are available at Thomann*.
New Universal Skiff System: Polyphonic Patching on the Go
[25 January 2026 written by Lasse Eilers] The Make Noise NUSS (New Universal Skiff System) offers the core idea of the New Universal Synthesizer System in a compact format: multi-layered polyphonic patches from simple control signals.
Make Noise NUSS: New Universal Skiff System
Make Noise’s New Universal Synthesizer System has been one of the more interesting conceptual developments in Eurorack in recent years. The basic idea: Simple, monophonic control inputs are used to create multi-layered modulation signals and polyphonic patches, whose voices and elements are musically interconnected in various interesting ways. Over the past few years, the manufacturer has consistently expanded the system with modules such as PoliMATHS, QXG, MultiMOD, and, most recently, MultiWAVE.
The next logical step was to create a complete system based on the core principles of the New Universal Synthesizer System. Freshly unveiled at Buchla & Friends 2026, the Make Noise NUSS (New Universal Skiff System) offers plenty of opportunities for creative polyphonic patching in a compact, portable format.
The system is designed to be controlled from a 0-Ctrl or another single-channel sequencer. The NUSS modules take this signal and turn it into an array of multi-layered modulation signals and polyphonic voices.
The system consists of one MultiWAVE oscillator, one PoliMATHS, one MultiMOD, two QXG, and one QPAS. The XOH output module is also included, offering a 2-channel mixer, a stereo line output, and a headphone output. In addition, the system is equipped with a USB-C input for controlling MultiWAVE via MIDI or MPE.
The modules are housed in the new Make Noise 2 Zone Skiff Case, which is also available separately. The 104 HP case is made of power-coated aluminum and equipped with a 2-zone power supply (2 A @ +12 V, 1.2 A @ -12 V, 1 A @ +5 V). It comes with a universal AC adapter and a power switch.
Price and Availability
You can now order the MAKE Noise NUSS skiff system from Thomann* for $2,659 / £2,390 / €2,699. The 2 Zone Skiff Case is $344 / £309 / €349 at Thomann*. Both are expected to ship in about three months.
