Igor Vasiliev of Motion Soundscape has announced the release of an experimental feedback-based musical instrument that models an analog mixing console. Designed to create a wide range of amazing, otherworldly electronic sounds, NoInputMixer feeds the mixer’s output back to its input.
By using this technique in the creative process, the sound designer can explore many different and special ways to create sound. Unsettling soundscapes perfect for sci-fi, dystopian and horror projects, like strange noises, disrupted signals, broken communication, buzzing drones, faulty machinery, futuristic tech sounds, and glitchy elements are some results of the No-Input Mixing technique.
The downside of this technique, which can scare off beginners, is extreme unpredictability and instability, when the movement of any knob on the mixer can dramatically change the sound in the most unexpected way. But at the same time, this discover an endless space of experimentation and inspiration when creating new and unique sounds or live performance.
The AUv3 plugin features 7 mixer channels and an effects rack with 8 slots. Each effect slot can be configured as an insert effect for a mixer channel or used with two send/return buses.
NoInputMixer is available from the App Store for $15.99 USD.
