A Note from the Designers
Tony Rolando:
Strega is an audio alchemical experiment. Activate! Spill the tonic into time and let time
decay through the filter to hear the results.
The Strega is an instrument designed in collaboration with Ales s andro Cortini. It is informed well by
Cortini’s recorded output and some of the instruments he has used over the years. It takes some
inspiration from the way alchemy is at once comfortable with both science and magic, the seen and
unseen. It takes the same form factor as the 0-COAST and 0-CTRL and was designed to be controlled by
the 0-CTRL or 0-COAST MIDI CV B.
It is also a fantastic idea to patch the 0-COAST into the Strega to unlock
new 0-COAST sounds.
Alessandro Cortini: I can’t remember if Strega was born from a personal need or from the creative
relationship I have with Tony and the Make Noise team. The two are so intertwined.
The important thing is that it is no longer a collection of ideas any more but the instrument you now hold
in your hands… an instrument representing a sonic aesthetic that is really dear to me.
Strega speaks a very unique language, one that you will quickly learn to communicate with and listen to...
What do you hear?
To me it represents the auditory equivalent of an object left in the sea for decades: currents have
smoothed its edges, colors have mutated, textures are softer.
Strega feels like the perfect balance between inspiration, action and result. It does exactly what I need it
to: shortens the pathway between playtime and constructive, meaningful and emotive sonic expression.
I hope Strega sparks the same creative pleasure in you.... Don’t be afraid to let it guide you someplace
new.
