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.

Similar 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!

Oh my, this app is soooo good! Just when I thought I had every drum / percussive app I could ever use, Bram Bos has managed to come up with something so different and deep, but somehow so easy to get fantastic new and inspiring sounds and grooves that I’m literally blown away!I NEEDED this in my life without even knowing it. Awesome, awesome, awesome. ❤️The only thing I miss a lot is the multiple patterns and the pattern tools such as left / right shift, that are present in Bram’s other sequencers. But, even missing that it’s still a five star app if there ever was one.

Ok, so it’s a tie with Ripplemaker, but this is my favorite drum machine for synthesized type crazy beats. Seek beats is also fabulous and I imagine running them together. This thing is dirty and weird but has a unique vibe so it can be showered off for the lady’s if needed; haha really though I just need to try the midi but if that’s ace then we are piloting a grand synthdrum ship. Hails mate, keep up the innovation. Ps- jr hexatone was IDM king but it no longer runs or is updated.

A few months deep in my iOS music making journey and Ruismaker apps are not only the most stable in Cubasis for me they’re also the most inspiring. Developer also responded to multiple questions with lightning speed. 10/10 all around
