Mutable Instruments Competitors

Make Noise was founded in 2008 by Tony Rolando, a self-taught electronic musical instrument designer who got started by obsessively reading amateur radio books at the public library, building electronics for artists, such as the light controlled mixer for Simon Lee's "Bus Obscura," working for Moog Music, and playing in bands for many years. After 3 years of isolation on a mountain top he founded Make Noise. What started as a re-visioning of jettisoned music technology has grown into a crew of folks working together in Asheville, NC, to design and build some pretty strange, but thoughtful modular synthesizers. We see our instruments as a collaboration with musicians who create once in a lifetime performances that push boundaries and play the notes between the notes to discover the unfound sounds. We want our instruments to be an experience, one that will require us to change our trajectories and thereby impact the way we understand and imagine sound. Also, we think what we do is fun and we hope you like it, too.

WMD is a Eurorack synthesizer and pedal FX manufacturer based out of Denver, Colorado. As a company of musicians, our goal is to make unique sounding products that maximize user experience.

Started as a hobby in 2014(ish), we cut our teeth making Eurorack synthesizer modules in new and unusual styles. As we've grown, we've added new products and platforms to the lineup, from 5U modules to Rack Extensions for Reason to plugins, with more to come. However you like to make music, Noise Engineering is working hard to bring something exciting to you.
