Our latest "BIG" music app "JR Hexatone Pro" is finally available on the AppStore!

We developed it in collaboration with the world-renowned keyboardist and musician Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater. This is the first iPhone application released under his name.

It is quite diffucult to describe what Hexatone is in several words simply because there’re no direct alternatives. 

JR Hexatone Pro is an advanced drum machine - tool for generating all kinds of rhythms, loops, melodic sequences, drum patterns - anything that consists of samples and has some rhythmic or chaotic structure.

JR Hexatone Pro is something totally new. There’s nothing like it, it creates sonic textures based on absolutely unique principles. It can be called a 6-channel 6-directional step sequencer with variable step length and artificial intelligence of each channel. Given that you can easily load your custom samples, you can create anything, any kind of loops, for all music styles.

Dear Noise addicts,

You can read more about it here

The Noise.io preset bank which is used in the song is available here

Our "new big project" codename Hexatone has just been submitted to Apple! We're expecting it to become available approximately on th 25th of July.



There's a big surprise regarding it!

Journalists are welcome to contact us at dev@noise.io to receive a promo copy of Hexatone.

This is really quite a new event in the history of music. This event has received massive press coverage on Engadget and Synthtopia.

Famous musicians "Good Night, States" supplied Noise.io a soundbank for their songs, and at their next show you can plug your iPhone or iPod into the house sound system and jam along with the group.



The first show you can officially try out this new technology will be this Friday, July 17th at Mr. Small’s (Pittsburgh), along with local rockers The Takeover UK, Vesta and Composure.

Instructions for participating are located here

Unfortunately we Amidio are situated approximately 5,000 kilometers away from Pittsburgh but maybe some of you Noise.io fans will attend it?

On the 25th of July, 2009 Noise.io officially turns one year (counting from the first weird sound extracted by the pre-alpha version)

Noise.io is still one of the most advanced apps in the AppStore, used everywhere in the world, by renowned musicians and synth enthusiasts.

Noise.io currenly has about 35,000 users (plus the pirated copies).

Given that Noise.io is the most superior synth app, and due to certain conditions, we have to rise the price to $14,99.

So, you can still get Noise.io for $8,99 before the 25th of July.

Noise.io update plans for July-August:

+ midi over wifi (finally!) 
+ new filters
+ new waves
+ reworked and built-in help
+ interface updates

Dear Noise.io users,

Noise.io Pro v. 1.4 which brings back sound in OS3.0 is now available from the AppStore as a free update. You can download it now. Reboot after install! If you keep on not getting any sound, delete the app from your device by long-tapping Noise.io's icon, then hitting the X sign at the top left corner of the icon, then going to AppStore and pressing on "buy" in Noise.io again (you will not be charged any money twice)

This update has a dramatic story. We fully understand the shortcomings induced by the absense of audio in OS3.0. We rewrote the main synth core and submitted the update 2 weeks before the official release of OS3.0.

However, due to the reasons we apparently will never know, it took more than a month for Apple to approve the update for one of the most popular music apps in the store. We never received any explanation.

Once again: we at Amidio, Inc. are very, very sorry for this situation. That was not our fault, but in any case we will find a way to compensate. Most probably, we will release one of our next apps with a big discount for several first days of the sales, and will let you know through another email.

By the way, our next-to-be-released-app is called Hexatone, which is the new generation drum machine.

P.S. Recently, Apple also approved our game called Hot Dancer (it has been waiting 6 months). Hot Dancer's soundtrack has been composed by Toyo Bunko with the partial usage of Noise.io. You can get Hot Dancer here. 

Thanks!

Amidio Inc  

We have released XTERIO!
This is an experimental minimalistic puzzle game.

All the sounds have been created using Noise.io Pro.

XTERIO is $0,99 only so be sure to check it out!




By the way, Noise.io Pro 1.4 with full support of OS3.0 is under Apple's review now.
