A different kind of drumsynth. Ruismaker Noir presents a hybrid approach between synthesized drums and rhythmic bass sounds - 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. - 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 User manual available on ruismaker.com * note: the basic standalone mode does not offer connectivity. Use the AUv3 plugin mode for complex setups with multiple apps and synchronization requirements.
Sound’s Great! Just One Thing Though
…I’m sure there’s a settings button somewhere but it has eluded me
United StatesSimilar to Moog DFAM.
I recently picked up a DFAM, so luckily I was introduced to this type of experimental drum synth already. It operates under the same basic idea of rhythmic patterns that are shaped primarily using pitch and velocity levels, but the modulation and filter stages are where the similarities end. You can tweak almost every important value based on the sequencer pitch and velocity levels. Granted that the DFAM sounds absolutely powerful in its own right and can quickly become chaotic when beginning to use the patch bay, but it is well suited to produce more natural analog drum sounds. The Ruismaker Noir can get super dirty without much effort. Multiple options to provide drive and distortion on the output of the synth using the FM feedback or the other one next to it (bit crusher I think). The only thing it is missing is the modular patch bay, but of course I rather do that on hardware anyways. I wouldn’t be upset at some more modulation routing options in the future, though!
United StatesGreat as an audio unit
Ok, so I’m not a fan of the stand alone, that goes for all of their drum apps, I just don’t really care for the sequencer. If you’re Into random patterns then ok sure, not very intuitive as far as programming exactly what I want to hear though , but as an audio unit, it’s great. Using it with a third party sequencer is really nice.
United StatesThank you!
Works great now. Awesome app!
United StatesGreat “O-Coast” like synth app
This is a great app, like all my other Bram Bos apps. Good interface ergonomics, logical layout. Easy enough to learn, complex enough to keep me interested for hours. Great sound quality, my friend says it sounds like his Buchla.
United StatesApp doesn’t work
Do not buy this app, it does not work on a IPad Pro 2020 at all I want a refund. It also doesn’t work in GarageBand as an audio unit.
United StatesFunky rhythms from hell!
Sounds great. Love the sequencer. Awesome!

Minor bugfix in the standalone app.
