Landscape Noon | 8-Channel Passive Analog Drum & Percussion Synthesizer

Activate and modulate Noon using voltage from external sequencers. No power supply needed. Analog circuits are powered momentarily by incoming gate and control voltage signals causing them to oscillate and move naturally. When Noon's channels are linked together, they grow, inform and process one another in complex rhythmic ways. Momentary power increases the unstable properties and organic textures of analog circuits. The immediacy of simple controls allows for rapid alterations without patching. Each of the eight channels is a unique analog circuit with its own characteristics. 

Embrace the magnificent instability of electronics running entirely wild. From the legendary sonic alchemists at Landscape, the Noon is a mind-bending, 8-channel passive analog drum machine and percussion synthesizer that completely redefines how music hardware interacts with electricity. The most radical feature? It contains zero power supplies, batteries, or mains plugs. Instead, the Noon is a completely powerless ecosystem whose internal circuits are awakened, energized, and played entirely by the incoming control voltage (CV) and gate signals of your external sequencer or Eurorack setup

Rather than relying on a steady, sterile power source, the Noon forces you to listen to the literal loading and unloading of electronic circuits. Each of its eight distinct channels houses an entirely unique analog voice design that reacts dynamically to the voltage, current, and gate length of your incoming signals—behaving like physical tuning forks struck by bursts of electricity. The interface is meticulously mapped across a premium, gold-plated PCB and housed in a stunning routed birch plywood enclosure. Every channel features three metal-shaft sliders regulating primary pitch/tone, secondary modulation texture, and volume, reinforced by a latching Mod button that drastically mutates the underlying circuit topology.

Interconnectivity is where the Noon transcends traditional rhythm box boundaries. A horizontal row of inter-channel Link buttons allows neighboring channels to share raw voltage. Engaging a link forces the voices to cross-modulate, bleed, distort, or merge into sprawling, organic polyrhythmic webs. Combined with massive gold touch plate strips across every channel, you can use your own fingers to bridge incoming rhythms and voltages across different voices. From metallic, acoustic-like wood percussion and thudding sub kicks to beautiful microtonal synth sequences and malfunctioning noise arrays, the Landscape Noon is a playground of chaotic, tactile groove design.
