Noise.io Pro 1.2 Finally Available!
Published: January 3, 2009

You can get the 1.2 update for free - as always - in the AppStore!

Short documentation about Record is available here

There is one little glitch in this version - the Control Zones do not change the patterns as they should - a fix for this will be released shortly as v. 1.2.1.
Sorry for that!

Noise.io Pro 1.2 Submitted to Apple
Published: December 20, 2008

Dear Noise Addicts,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We worked very hard to bring you this gift.

We made all we promised: record, beatmaker integration, .wav/.caf export, built-in server (with audio preview).


We even made a little more (that is overdub, and the upcoming ability to jam along with your uploaded samples. Currently, you can upload samples to the ioLibrary via server, but there's no way to choose the file directly from within Noise.io)

We did not release any other apps in this year, focusing on tailoring Noise.io Pro. That wasn't a very income-wise solution, but as you all might have understood, we're just synth enthusiasts, not finance sharks

Noise.io Pro 1.2 features

+ new Record menu
+ record to play along with
+ overdub-record
+ Save recorded material as .WAV or .CAF
+ built-in server to access your ioLibrary from PC or MAC (browser-based, no additional soft needed)
+ Direct export to Beatmaker (need Beatmaker 1.3.2, which is not released yet)
+ Improved speed, stability
+ Minor graphic changes


This new record screen is not too beautiful, but we had to make it look like this, to reserve memory (which is taken by bitmaps easily)
Maybe we'll change it later. Currently it works and it does what it says, anyway ;)

"303 Pocket Noise" will be released in the beginning of 2009.

BeatMaker integration!
Published: December 19, 2008

If everything goes smooth, users will be able to use samples created by Noise.io Pro in their BeatMaker projects right away (without PC).

Software needed: Amidio Noise.io Pro 1.2 (to be released soon), Intua Beatmaker 1.3.2 (to be released soon)

1.1.5 Out!
Published: November 30, 2008

Dear Noise addicts,

Noise.io Pro 1.1.5 is available now in the App Store.

It will correct the problems induced by 2.2 firmware update:

+ Notes "hang" on the keyboard
+ Sequencers "get stuck"
+ Speed improvements

New child in the Noise family!
Published: November 28, 2008

Amidio Inc. will release 303 Pocket Noise (name could change in future)



4-pattern 303 Emulator

+ Based on Noise.io's Pro Engine
+ 2 waveforms - saw, square
+ 4 Patterns with realtime pattern sequence programming
+ Realtime pattern editing (on loop)
+ Auto-save on quit
+ Slides, 3 octaves
+ Very simple interface: just 2 screens.
+ Modulation surface like in Noise.io Pro
+ swingy BPM
+ effects: delay, distortion
+ .wav export via built-in server (no additional programs needed)
+ direct beatmaker export (hopefully).


We need this app to be a testing playground for new features and if the features prove itself, they will be expanded quickly into Noise.io Pro.

Noise.io Pro will always remain the flagship product and will contain all the features found in smaller products.

303 Pocket Noise will be priced at $0.99 or at $1.99.

Planned date of release: middle or late December 2008.

1.1.4 - Another bug with 2.2 SW found :(
Published: November 27, 2008

Dear Noise addicts,

We were quite unhappy to notice that 2.2 iPhone software version not only slowed down the graphics on Noise.io (which was corrected in Noise.io 1.1.4), but also it almost freezes the sequencers (which we didn't notice at first).

Amidio is not responsible for that. It's the new firmware that makes the sequencers behave like this. Meanwhile, we've submitted 1.1.5 to Apple, correcting that issue, and we hope it will be accepted soon.

FEATURES OVERVIEW

***This is not a final feature list. We can still change it a bit (adding something) and of course we will add more pictures soon!***

Before proceeding to the Feature List - we would like to underline that Noise.io is a completely new kind of a musical instrument.

Noise.io does not reflect or copy any existing synth structure, design or principles. 

We've designed Noise.io to become the true 21st century synth. So you won't find any "VCO" or "VCF"-like abbreviations.
There are no knobs! ("omg! synth with no knobs?! how can that be?!" )

We've tried to simplify everything down, in order to let the musicians create, instead of reading manuals. And - thanks to the iPhone excellent features - we've designed several new interface elements, which are through all the Noise.io's Editor. You can read about them in the Highlights section.

 

Full Feature List

  • Superb quality of sound, comparable with hardware synths!
  • Latency close to ZERO!
  • 3 Major Workmodes (Freenoise Mode, Controlzone Mode, Soundkey Mode)
  • ESFM Synth Technology
  • 3 Generators (Brother, Sister - 2x25 possible waveforms, Noizer - dedicated noise-generator with own filter and limiter)
  • Extensive use of iPhone's benefits: finger sliding, Multi-Touch, Accelerometer
  • 2 Filters (Advanced Multi-Filter with 6 Filter Types and Noise Filter)
  • UNLIMITED Banks, Presets
  • 6 Effects (Delay x2, Chorus/Flanger, Phaser, Bitcrusher, Distortion)
  • Multi-Glide technology for those sweet pitch sweeps
  • 3 assignable LFO (23 possible waveforms and dedicated Sample & Hold)
  • Advanced TapBPM Function
  • 5 Axes to map any parameter to (L-R, U-D, Multitouch, Accelerometer Roll, Accelerometer Tilt)
  • Immediate on-screen preset choose menu
  • 3 Sequencer Types (Piano Roll, Trance Gate, Custom parameter modulation)
  • User-friendly preset editor with Teleport and InstantSurface functions
  • 12 patterns (3 sequencers x 4 patterns (A, B, C, D) in each)
  • Unique ControlSurface, Zones and SoftRibbon controllers
  • 5 On-Screen Zones buttons (map a note, pattern or any action to them)
  • Download & Exchange presets via internet
  • 3-Band EQ (Equalizer)
  • Activate/deactivate Preset Banks for quick access during live
  • 9 Presets in a Bank
  • Snap to Beat function while jamming live - to always be in sync with your song!
  • 3 Categories of Preset Banks
  • Sequencer on/off with a single tap
  •  Less than 2 minutes needed to create a meaningful preset!
  • Switch between patterns in realtime or activate one of the Pattern Change modes! (Single, Loop, Follow, Random, etc.)
 ...there are so many features that it is quite possible that we've forgot something

...any questions? Ask them in our forum!

What kinds of sounds is it possible to create with Noise.io?

To tell the truth, at the moment we ourselves at Amidio have not yet explored all the sonic possibilities of Noise.io. However the range of sounds is broadened by Noise.io's monophonic nature. So creating multi-layered "mega chords" will be possible only if you record separate pitches with the same envelopes and then layer them up in a DAW (digital audio workstation).

But, Noise.io is suitable for almost all other things:

  • basses (fat, squeaky, punchy, deep, low, hollow, fretless, kicking)
  • 303-like basslines (with even more mood due to multi-glide functions)
  • leads (melodic, vibrating, mesmerizing)
  • keys (epiano-alikes, trance pikes, vibes)
  • bells (harmonic and inharmonic bells, chimes and mallets)
  • sound effects (swooshes, mystical noises, distorted realities)
  • percussive sounds (atonal percussion, drum sounds, snares, hihats, even bass drums)
  • ...and many, many more!

Please remember that after creating a sound, you can fire up Pitch Sequencer and create a melody using that instrument!

 

 Suggested Usage

 Sound Quality

Simply connect the sound output of your iPhone/iPod touch to the mic/line input of your mixer, recorder or sound card - and there you are, now you can enrich your tracks or mixes with superb melodies, sequences or sound effects that blow away people's minds, making your perfomance unique and unforgettable.

All you need is Noise.io, line phone jack cable and your fingers. The quality of sound you will get depends on the quality of the cable and your A/D converter but even with not too expensive equipment, it is really *very* good, comparable to the quality of hardware synths.

Noise.io is fully ready for live perfomances. In fact, it has been initially designed for live perfomances.

We have conducted several blind tests between Noise.io and some well-known hardware synths (of course we can not tell which synths in particular).

We offered people (musicians and non-musicians) to choose which sound they liked best (they did not know the source of the sound they listened to).

  • In most cases, the people couldn't distinguish between Noise.io and hardware synths.
  • Most people have agreed that Noise.io has a "warm and pleasant sound, without any evident digital harshness".

  • After revealing, most people were amazed that "such a small device can sound like a real synth".
