Inspiring but clunky

I absolutely love the sounds you can make with this but it feels so cumbersome on the iPhone when it’s hard to dial in where you precisely want the node in the sequencer without accidentally nudging it when you let go of the screen.

Many of the controls don’t fit my iPhone’s screen (14 plus) and get hidden by the front camera’s border.

It’d be a dream if I could just load this app/plugin directly on my MacBook so that recording my experiments into Logic Pro wasn’t as obstructive.

Dear Bram

I think I never said it out loud,

But I think I’m in love with you!

Thank you for everything, people like you helps moves forward the world, while there exists myself, an absolute S.Maniac, and suffering from MDD.

BLESSINGS!

Sound’s Great! Just One Thing Though

…I’m sure there’s a settings button somewhere but it has eluded me

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!

Nette Spielerei ohne echten Mehrwert

Inreressantes Konzept mit eher auf rhythmische Geraeusche ausgelegtem Klang. Meiner Meinung nach kein Drumcomputer, sondern fur das zweite oder dritte Layer. Vor allen Dingen der fehlende Export einer Audiodatei macht das Ganze aber zur Spielerei. Die Implementierung eines Audio-Exports als Loop würde alles ändern.
