It can turn gestures into a wide range of noise sweeps, beeps, zaps/clicks, squarish oscillations and abstract sounds. - Multitouch control zone with frequency of the noise oscillator on the x axis and (linear) amplitude on the y axis. The data of multiple touch are used consecutively each oscillator cycle. Every sample generated is visualized in this control zone, white are positive values and grey are negative values. - Multitouch filter bar: Bandpass filter when you use one finger or Lowpass/Highpass combination when you use two fingers. Filters frequencies are not smoothed so with the right fast gestures you can execute some kinds of strange clicky sounds. - Subsonic sine generator for subs and 808-ish kicks. You can deactivate/reactivate the sub sine interface by pressing the channel button more than 2 seconds and then releasing it. - Buttons for selecting one of five different tone generation modes. - Latch button for holding down the touched points even when you raise your fingers, useful for further processing the sound using external effects or plugins. You can latch everything or just the filter bar. When "latch all" mode is active a button appears at the right of the filter bar for clearing the latched touch points. - Three performance mode: Standard for normal gated playing, Click mode for generating one-frequency-cycle clicks and Hybrid for generating click with a single touch and long sounds with multi-touch. - Three output channel modes: Mono, Stereo (sub is always mono) and Split (noise on the left and sub on the right, useful for using different channels on a mixer). - Audiobus 2 and Inter-App Audio support. PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURE WARNING: A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in this app. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" to occur. Please do not use this program if you think you may be affected, and discontinue use if the app causes any discomfort. ## Key features - Multitouch control zone for frequency and amplitude - Multitouch filter bar (bandpass, lowpass, highpass) - Subsonic sine generator for bass sounds - Five tone generation modes - Latch button for holding touch points - Three performance modes (Standard, Click, Hybrid) - Three output channel modes (Mono, Stereo, Split) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 41) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hexaglyphics-noise-generator/id963852820/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Works on iPadOS26 ! *2026-06-20, version 1.1.2* I almost didn't get this app because there haven't been any updates or reviews in such a long time. I was concerned it may not work any more on the most recent OS. But it does. Lots of fun if you like this sort of thing, as I do. ### 5/5 — Thanks !) *2023-05-09, version 1.1.2* Please added auv3 ### 5/5 — Still great. Still works. Still IAA only… *2023-03-31, version 1.1.2* …so I suppose it is swirling round the AUV3 drain, and one more ‘update’ by the Apple Overlords might just see it off. So enjoy it while you can, I guess. Just because you bought it don’t mean Apple will let you keep it. ### 5/5 — Love this *2022-11-21, version 1.1.2* Still my favorite app ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2022-07-25, version 1.1.2* Like it says in the title, I LOVE this app! I can honestly say I use it in, probably 3/4 of my setups (in some way or another). So I just thought I’d stop in and drop a rating, as (and if you’re into this type of thing you’ll understand and probably agree) it really deserves it.. There’s a certain ‘playability’ to it that just makes it sound, and feel great to play, while also having the ability to be meat-grinder HARSH! -but in a beautiful way!. The only thing I’d like to differ about it would be the possibility of Auv3 compatible, reducing the need to switch back and forth between iaa pages (hindering much added potential!). I’m not sure it’s even under dev support at this point, so I’m not holding my breath, just putting it out there, and glad it’s still a thing as it is.. Thanks again to the dev, if you happen to see this! ### 5/5 — Semplicità e sbalorditiva qualità *2021-07-20, version 1.1.2* Questa app come poche sull’App Store riescono a fare poche cose, ma in un modo incredibilmente efficace. Gli apparenti limiti (no sync, no controllo esterno) sono in realtà strumenti creativi che ti danno una grande possibilità di fare musica & noise con una importante percentuale di improvvisazione. RACCOMANDATA!!! ### 5/5 — Super *2020-10-27, version 1.1.2* App Grandiosa Must have per tutti i synth freaks ! ### 5/5 — I love this! *2019-02-24, version 1.1.2* Simple, fun and useful. ### 5/5 — Amazon App *2019-02-06, version 1.1.2* This is a very funny and simple Noise Generator. I Love it ### 5/5 — Чудеса свободного взаимодействия с инструментом *2018-12-13, version 1.1.2* Интуитивно изучаемо. Приложение достойно внимания .
