ToyoBunko's birthday & Noise Trio
Published: November 20, 2008

Dear Noise addicts,

Today ToyoBunko - the Noise.io's designer - is celebrating his 25th birthday

We're happy to inform you that we have submitted a new app based on Noise.io's engine called Noise Trio.



It is FREE and contains 3 presets from the "Across the Kaos" soundbank.
Noise Trio contains a new feature: you can do trills on the Control Surface (with 2 fingers). This feature will soon appear in the next Noise.io update.

Noise Trio should appear in the AppStore soon.

New Noise.io contest!
Published: November 17, 2008

Dear Noise.io users,

We're happy to announce another contest!

This time, the rules are again very easy: Record a video of Noise.io in action and post it on the YouTube.

The prize fund consists of 10 Official Noise.io T-shirts ("It comes from my heart") which we're luckily able to send to any place on Earth.
Your video has to be longer that 1 minute and have decent sound quality.

So, there will be 10 (or less) winners. We'll evaluate the results on the 1st December!

1.1.3 Update available
Published: November 15, 2008

Dear Noise.io users,

1.1.3 is available now for updating.

What's new:

+ Bug fixes (thanks for reporting!)
+ Mapping parameter "Offset Scale" to Acc. Roll and Acc. Tilt does not produce any pitch changes.

We had to do this because there was too much trouble with mr. Christopher Penrose and we have neither no time nor the funds to sort it out. However, we might get back to it later.

You can still map all other parameters to accelerometer.

1.1.2 Update
Published: November 10, 2008

Dear users!
Regarding the 1.1.2 update:

It's our first update in AppStore and we were a bit of mistaken, by thinking that it would erase your banks.

So, to play with the new "Across the Kaos" bank, you have to reset your banks to factory if you want to see the new bank
(by going to Manage Presets and shaking your device)

Or, for those who do not want to reset, download the new bank from here: (this is the code for "Across the Kaos": b-7269-jgkj)

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)

  • UNLIMITED Banks, Presets

  • 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!

  • 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".
