Read full description

NoizyBeast is a kaiju. A feedback drone synth with no keyboard. A resonating string runs through filters, reverb and tape echo and feeds back into itself until it ignites. You don't play notes -- you provoke the beast and ride whatever comes back. Silence, breathing, drone, roar. Grow a noise that is yours alone. MAKE IT ROAR - FEEDBACK loops a tiny electrical signal and amplifies it into noise -- the same principle as microphone feedback. - FREQUENCY is the beast's voice. A free-sliding knob, not a keyboard, so you can glide between pitches. - BODY, in-loop filters, and a bit crusher you can place INSIDE the loop (the damage re-amplifies every pass). - Tempo-synced gate with tap tempo, metal resonance, and a gear-jamming Drag. Tap tempo drives the GATE for easy ducking-style movement. - Screaming wah, octave-up roar, vocal formants. - Six decay behaviours: string sustain, blooming-and-wilting drone, gate tails, plucked cycles, pitch dive-bombs, a swell cut dead. - A DJ-style filter at the output: season the sound with LPF and HPF. FREE VERSION Completely free as an instrument: all 34 knobs, every parameter (except Macro assignment), tap tempo, and the 18-preset Horror bank. NOIZYBEAST PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription) - Record, export and share your performances - All 108 presets - Save your own user presets - Assign your favourite parameters to the 3 macro knobs (move several parameters with one knob) There is no limit to the sounds you can make. Twist the knobs freely and grow a noise that is yours alone. For iPhone, iPad and Mac. One Pro purchase unlocks all three.
