Bram Bos of Ruismaker has announced the release of Noir, a different kind of drum synth for iOS that is a hybrid between drum synth and bass synth.
Noir presents a way of creating monophonic rhythmic complexity by using pitch, tonality and velocity sensitivity to generate morphing sounds that seamlessly blend into each other.
It presents a hybrid approach between synthesized drums and rhythmic melodies – coming together in the fully integrated step sequencer. Throw in a nasty, dirty personality and you get something really new for the iOS platform.
Although Noir has a monophonic synthesis engine, the clever interplay with the sequencer and plethora of pitch/velocity modulation options can make it sound like many different sounds are playing, seamlessly blending into each other.
Noir features
- AUv3 (Audio Unit) plugin, with integrated sequencer.
- Basic standalone mode for tinkering or preset creation.
- Universal; runs on any iDevice with iOS10 or higher.
- All parameters accessible via MIDI CC and AU Params.
- AU MIDI output from sequencer (requires iOS11+).
- Fullscreen plugin GUI in all compatible hosts.
- Modest CPU and resource loads.
- Handcrafted in the Netherlands.
Noir is available for $9.99 USD.
