dh-NOISE — sampler & tracker sequencer
Turn any sound into an instrument you can play, slice and sequence. dh-NOISE is a sample slicer and a tracker sequencer in one: load a sample, chop it into slices, play them across a keyboard, and arrange them into beats — all inside your favourite iOS music apps.
dh-NOISE is an Audio Unit (AUv3) plug-in: it opens inside a host app such as AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand or NanoStudio — not as a standalone app.
LOAD & SLICE
• Import WAV, MP3, AIFF, FLAC, OGG, M4A and CAF files
• Open vintage Akai S1000 / S3000 sampler CD-ROMs (.iso) — load those classic '90s sample libraries straight into a layer
• Append a new sample onto one you've already loaded — stacked end-to-end and auto-sliced at each join, perfect for building kits and chains
• Auto-find the slice points in a loop, or tap to place them yourself
• Name your slices (Kick, Snare, Hat…) — the names carry straight through to the tracker
• Audio quantize — lock your slices to the beat grid (or bars) so chops sit tight in time
• Reorder and shuffle slices to flip a loop into something new
• Trim, normalize, reverse and fade — the whole sample, or just one slice
PLAY
• Play any sample across the on-screen keyboard, automatically pitched to the right note
• Or trigger your slices like a drum kit — one slice per key
• Everything stays locked to your project's tempo, with high-quality time-stretching
TRACKER SEQUENCER
• A built-in tracker-style step sequencer with four independent layers
• Your named slices appear right in the pattern editor — drop them in with precise micro-timing
• Per-step control over every hit: repeat, pan, reverse, and high-pass / low-pass filters
• Save your patterns to a library and reuse them across projects — build your own pattern libraries
• Chain patterns into full songs; mute and solo tracks on the fly
MIDI
• Plays from MIDI in your host — live, or drawn into the piano roll
• Sends MIDI out per layer to drive other instruments — including chords and triads built with the on-board chord picker, with inversion control
• Syncs to your host's tempo and transport
Four layers. One sample slicer, tracker sequencer and playable instrument — built for making beats on the move.
Fix for some users reporting AU midi was broken - should be fixed now.
If you still experience AU broken midi after this update then save your project and delete DHNOISE from your device and then re-download and install will fix the issue. Apologies if this has caused any project issues.
