Ruismaker Noir

It reminds me so much of my DFAM which I unfortunately sold and will get again for sure! Definitely one of my favorite music apps, endless fun and some incredible sequences I wouldn‘t be able to get with other apps. Randomizer and mutator for the sequencer are ace. A no brainer 🤘 Just hoping for some future updates with for example some more modulation options 🤞

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!

Works great now. Awesome 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.

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.

Can you add better buttons so I can tweak the real time resolution for drum rolls easier as the screen goes away or a knob per resolution ?

I got this after watching haq attaq’s youtube review. I’m using it on iPhone. Within seconds I had a wild sounding loop. Super fun and easy to learn. I’m excited to use this in some upcoming productions.

It’s hard to stop creating on this app, Auv3, all kinds of modulation!

This is an immensely impressive synth. The range of flexibility and variety of sounds I can make on the fly is astonishing. And the possibilities for hybrid dubstep drum/bass lines are... incredible. Great work Bram Bos. Definitely recommend for any musician’s toolbox.

There’s no other app like this. A weird hybrid of a monophonic synth and a drum module. It can be used as a new-school bassline synth, a drum machine, a glitchy noisemaker, and anything in between. It’s especially good at harsh sounds and edgy dynamic sequences.
