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.

Not Sure What The Hype Is About…
Interesting sounds but so damn quiet. Had to have the fader in AUM above unity, with a compressor and gain all the way up in the app and was still problematic.
Have requested a refund. Not for me….
I’m a producer and engineer, not a casual user or producer so it’s not like i dont know what I’m doing. Pretty disappointing
Sorry Ruismaker.
Wonderful
DFAM type sounds for less than £10. What’s not to love.
Supercrunch
As a metal guitarist completely new to app synthesis, I found this very easy to use. Just home use so far, but it also sounds amazing cranked up on the car stereo so I’ve got great expectations for bigger sound systems too. Works really well with Troublemaker and Mononoke in GarageBand on iPhone.
Yes!
Yes! What else? Listen to it, surely you can hear? This is a hack into another dimension (if used correctly) If not, you might just cause damage with it! Either way, it’s simply brilliant.
Keep coming back to this
Noir satisfies every time, again again and once more. Top notch as always 👊🏼
Nasty and Bleepy!
The absolute ease at which it can create something nasty and bleepy is a godsend I wish this were analogue hardware, it’s a utter beast. More patterns would be welcome and perhaps a more detailed visual aid for notes as it’s a little tricky to dial them in precisely on the sequencer. Aside from that it’s my go to app for basslines.
Inspiring, fun and SICK!
I love this thing. The developer deserves high praise. Absolute bargain considering just how much pleasure one can derive from this instrument. I’ve bought several others of his since.
Outstanding
This app is greatness on a stick. A drum synth that sounds as good as hardware 30 times the price. I’m using it in everything from hip hop to techno to jungle.
Innovative, and great sounding
You can’t go wrong with a Bram Bos app - rock solid, great sounding, CPU friendly, and a great price. Plus they’re well supported.
This one doesn’t disappoint. It’s capable of producing everything from deep bass to hi-hats, and you can create incredibly complex rhythms by using multiple AU instances.
Recommended.
Bargain!
It’s ridiculous and laughable that some reviewers are removing a star from their “review” because of the price. IT’S ONLY £9.99!
In a nutshell, this is a very good drum/bass synth attached to an amazingly innovative sequencer, and has the potential to change the way you make beats.
