iPhone/iPod Touch Music Apps, Mobile Producing Einstellungen

[Lux Aeterna]

Seit Samstag für IPhone/IPod-Touch erhältlich:

http://noise.io/

Hab ihn mir geholt und muss sagen um € 7,99 gibt's nichts besseres, vollwertiger FM Synth der alle funktionen eines "grossen" bietet, rennt nahezu latenzfrei und der Sound rockt gewaltig.

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.

Full Feature List

• Superb quality of sound, comparable with hardware synths!

• Latency close to ZERO!

• 3 Major Workmodes (Freenoise Mode, Controlzone Mode, Soundkey Mode)

...there are so many features that it is quite possible that we've forgot something (IMG:http://noise.io/images/smilies/blush.gif)

<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".

das app hier kann auch einiges und es läuft auch auf windows, mac und linux!

Part of the beauty of the iPhone from its launch date was the notion of a Mac you could fit in the palm of your hand. That makes it ironic that, for so many developers, mobile platforms in general have turned into a way to fragment software, to make it run fewer places instead of more. There's something to be said for designing to a specific mobile device, but on the other hand, how many developers would want to restrict where their creations run? And particularly in music, isn't the appeal of mobile creation the ability to have your tools work in more places? Maybe targeting just one gadget is the right choice for a given tool, but it shouldn't be the only choice.

On the iPhone, the application Thump has plenty in common with a range of mobile music making tools. It's simple but fun, a groove box with sequencing, subtractive synths, drums, and a set of basic effects, plus the ability to load your own samples and export songs.

Thump also demonstrates how simplifying sonic capabilities can produce musically-beautiful results, by focusing on the essentials and creating something with personality. Here's a track by its creator showing off its sounds:

Well worth checking out the app on your platform of choice:
http://www.mrkbrz.com/thump/

What might not be immediately apparent is that under the hood, Thump makes use of the open source environment openFrameworks. As a result, the same code runs on iPhone, Mac, and Windows, as well as Linux. (It's not distributed for Linux, but it could be. Hint, hint.) Creator Marek Bereza gives back, too – he ported the openFrameworks audio library to the iPhone, where it's available to anyone. If you're interested in creating your own projects, oF has an elegant syntax based on Processing, but adapted to C/C++ coding paradigms and libraries.
