Ein weiters geiles Ultramobiltool, angeblich wollen Sie den auch irgendwie mit Intua Beatmaker vernetzen,...

Bald gibt es wirklich keinen Grund mehr, einen Laptop mitzuschleppen wenn man unterwegs im Flieger, Bus oder Zug mal schnell was zusammenschrauben will zumindest Teile für "grosse" Produktionen daheim im Sequenzer.

<h2 align="center">What kinds of sounds is it possible to create with Noise.io?</h2>


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. (IMG:http://noise.io/images/smilies/happy.gif)

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".

da bin ich mal gespannt drauf wie brauchbar das wird

Trance pioneer Brian "BT" Transeau has launched an iPhone app in support of his new album "The Rose of Jericho." Created by BT's software company Sonik Architects, the Sonifi app allows users to remix songs and video using the Apple device, adding beats, melodies, and even BT's "stutter edit" technique by simply shaking the phone. It also lets users connect two iPhones via the Bluetooth connection and remix as a team. Look for an in-depth interview with BT on this new app in the coming days.



BT On His New iPhone App, Sonifi

(IMG:http://www.synthtopia.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bt-brian-transeau.jpg) Billboard interviewed progressive trance and soundtrack composer BT recently. In the interview, he talks about why he created a new iPhone app, Sonifi:

Why do the app?

My background is classical music and programming. I used to tutor my father's students in computers and programming. I used to experiment with building music applications as a teenager as I was falling in love with electronic music, using a bunch of the modalities I learned in the classical area. So it's been something I've been interested in for 20-plus years. I'm a Mac head, and I've been endorsed by Apple for years and I love the iPhone. This is a crazy freaking device. You have something that has a multi-point touch surface, accelerometers, so I though why not make something for this.

What were you hoping to accomplish?

For literally 10 years, I've been saying to people [that] we need to make a standardized remix file format. Artists cross genres all over the place, have their work remixed all the time — and it's a pain in the ass. For people in the electronic music community, there's all these crazy deliverable requirements. Why not just four tracks? Give me the beats, give me the bass, give me the vocals and give me the guitars… that's all I need and I can do anything that needs to be done.

Why focus on the remix element for the app? Why lead with that?

Well this idea of standardizing the deliverables for a remix so that anyone can do it. Did you know one of the most popularly torrented things are ProTools sessions? I'll admit I collect them. The record labels need to seriously wake the fuck up and see there's an inherent value in non two-track masters of songs. This is a proof of concept that proves that. Kids want to get their hands dirty with technology now. You have a different type of consumer… it's like a pro-sumer. He's a little bit interested in media, graphic arts, he's a videogamer, and he loves music and wants to do mashups. He wants to take Beyonce's voice and put it up against a Killers' track. That's the audience this is targeted to support, and I'm a part of it. I made this as much for me as I did for everybody else. The big punchline is that this is a proof of concept that there's an inherent value in the end user being able to experiment and play around with music in a meaningful way that's fun and easy but incorporates some really heave stuff under the hood in terms of technology.

Why apply this first on a mobile phone, rather than a computer?

Because everybody has a phone. People take public transportation, or they're at Starbucks waiting for coffee. If I'm just noodling, I don't want to surf the Web or play Tetris — I want to do something fun that I can use later. This is a perfect platform because it's a computer that's sitting in someone's pocket. The possibilities of this excite me immensely. We're going to release other artists' material and my back catalog in this thing, as a Sonifi media pack where you'll have the song as a 4×4 matrix of mixes, the visual assets specific to each artist, and then stutter gestures and fills, and an artist's links page.

So you're going to offer more versions of the app for other artists?

Sonifi is going to be the portable remix engine where you can directly buy content from a plethora of different artists, not just me or dance music. It's a completely different and interactive way to enjoy music. I can't say too much about it, but it's going to take people's heads off. This is going somewhere really specific and very cool. We're already in talks with several media partners who control a lot of content about using their artists' work in this application. It's a really special thing.

BT goes on to talk about other iPhone apps that he likes, including Brian Eno's Bloom.
