Frequently Asked Questions - Pressure Points Make Noise
What is the Make Noise Pressure Points module used for?
The Pressure Points is a touch-sensitive module that generates control voltages (CV), gates, and pressure signals. It is often used as a performance interface or as a step sequencer when paired with the Brains expander module.
How do the touch plates work?
Each of the four touch plates produces a voltage based on where and how hard you touch it. The module outputs a CV according to the vertical position of the touch, a Gate signal when touched, and a Pressure voltage proportional to the force applied.
Can the Pressure Points be used as a standalone sequencer?
Standalone, it works as a touch controller. To make it a full step sequencer, you need the Make Noise Brains module, which connects to the internal header and adds clock, reset, and stage control.
What are the power requirements for the Pressure Points?
It typically draws 60 mA from the +12V rail and 5 mA from the -12V rail. Always check your Eurorack power supply to ensure adequate current margin.
Is the Pressure Points compatible with other Eurorack systems?
Yes, it uses standard Eurorack power headers (10-pin ribbon cable) and outputs standard CV and gate signals (0-10V range). It works with any modular system that supplies +/-12V.
How do I clean the module without damaging it?
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the front panel and knobs. Avoid using water, alcohol, or cleaning sprays, as they can damage the electronics or leave residue.
What type of outputs does the Pressure Points have?
It provides CV outputs for each touch row, a combined Gate output, and a Pressure output. These can be routed to oscillators, filters, and other modules for expressive control.
What is the physical width of the module in HP?
The Pressure Points is 14 HP wide, making it a moderately sized controller that fits easily in most Eurorack cases.
Can I connect multiple Pressure Points together?
Yes, using the expansion header you can chain multiple Pressure Points modules and use a single Brains to create longer sequencing patterns. The modules share clock and stage information.
Is the Pressure Points suitable for controlling external synths?
It can control any external device that accepts CV/Gate signals, such as analog synths or drum machines. You may need a CV-to-MIDI converter for units that only use MIDI.
