Ruismaker NOIR │ Absolutely AWESOME Drum Synth App - haQ attaQ 305

[@hArtyTruffle]

Came back here to refresh my memory on Noir… again. You never fail to make me smile too. Luv ya man 👊🏼

[@colinfarel]

I did a lot of ball fingering with this video. I love Jakob's videos for this reason.

[@lundsweden]

I myself had a Korgasm (I was fingering my Korg control keyboard at the time Your Honour!)

[@hlprmnky]

I have to say, after picking up Noir and feeling like I was facing a super steep learning curve to get the app to do what I suspected it _could_ do, your simple comment “so it’s important that this is an AU extension because it is really _one_ drum voice, so you will want to have a _bunch_ of these” really, truly helped me get my head around Noir. In retrospect it seems so obvious, but I was super stuck thinking of this app just like Ruismaker and Ruismaker FM and I was really frustrating myself trying to get the sounds I wanted out of one instance via pitch and velocity mod. Jakob, thank you for helping me out. :D

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure! It’s easy to miss stuff like that, especially when you’re in a production flow making music. 👍🏼

[@kaboozle]

This was the first video I watched and I bought Noir immediately after subscribing to your channel. I have been watching more of your videos (buying some more stuff as well), and I’m glad KZbin suggested your channel to me! So thanks for your content; it’s informative, clear and funny! Your corny humor makes me chuckle sometimes and it makes for a fun break in the nerdy, techy stuff...

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you so much for your kind heartwarming words. Welcome to the channel and I hope you find more content that you like. ⭐️

[@maikvanrossum]

Maybe an oldie, but still relevant and useful 👌🏻 Just like the awesome apps from Bram ‘ruismaker’ Bos 🇳🇱 His apps are great quality builds, which makes them timeless! Just rediscovered Noir because I was looking for a #DFAM style synth in my collection… so thanks to you for the quick start guide 🙏🏻

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

@ 4:00 when you are adjusting the slope - OH YEAH! 😀 👊 You can easily go from a bright, punchy EDM or Psytrance style kick to a more chilled dub techno and deep house style kick. EXCELLENT! @7:40 - This beat is TIGHT!! ❤️ @12:20 - WOW! Yeasssss! ❤️

[@JakobHaq]

Bro! That slope control is something I wish every Drum rompler and Drum synth would have. Bram killed it with the way that slope controls it in Noir!

[@swayze_mane]

Psyched I found your channel. Tx for all your work, it's super helpful

[@chebtamer]

Can't thank you enough ❤ You’re great

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you!

[@cesanbucek8587]

Helpful video, cheers! And lol @ ball fingering :D

[@JoeCarterDesigns]

Thanks for this Jakob! Soo good. Really appreciate you digging into this! :)

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure, I’m really happy that you enjoyed the video! 👊🏼

[@edzielinski]

Great demo. You showed a few important things here that I didn't find in other videos.

[@lubbockleft]

thumbs up for the intro dance alone lol

[@JakobHaq]

👊🏼😂 Happy you liked it!

[@chrislynch9364]

I love this. 1st impression was an easier to program and control Axon 2 but digging deeper it’s so much more. Many thanks for turning me on to this 😊👍

[@markotik75]

Is Brambos just one bloke? His quality of apps is amazing and all are up there with my favourite music apps on iOS. Respect ✊🏽

[@JakobHaq]

Yup, one guy. Bram Bos is his actual name too. Check this video out, it contains Interview parts that I did with him: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-6ooptqNeofc0

[@iosmusicman]

Super cool. Thanks Jakob. Cheers. Lee

[@byAndreasEkberg]

Can you Feel iT?!! :) Great work mate!

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you so much! 👊🏼

[@Calverhall]

Bram Bos is king, Ripplemaker is my favourite Synth FULL STOP, I am somewhat disappointed you didn’t cover it upon release but perhaps I should be grateful, as it the cornerstone of my sound’s character nowadays. Noir is just another example of his brilliant app design. Both apps show a different way from what the vast majority have done before.

[@JakobHaq]

I get that your disappointed and I’m sorry I couldn’t accommodate you. However I haven’t reviewed any Modular synths on this channel ever simply because I no longer have the patience to use them. I used modular a lot on the past both hardware and virtual ones and I’m just too tired of that type of workflow. I’m not saying I that I’ll never review a modular ever again ... it jut feels like enough time hasn’t past yet in order for me to get excited about a modular synth.

[@leonlkowalski]

Jakob! You did it again. You showed me the way to really use another app instead of just fiddling around. Thanks a lot for that! Aaand: I wrote this before seeing the end of the video... :)

[@JakobHaq]

Happy you found the video useful! 👊🏼⭐️

[@james82408]

Your the funniest informer, teacher / you tuber, person. Makes learning easier to sit through. Thanks I get alot from you sound design fundementals

[@JakobHaq]

Aw, that means a lot to me! 👊🏼

[@johnhowardnardine6815]

That just cracks me up every single time: “…and I can’t even speak proper English, mate”. I used to live in Denmark, so I know that isn’t true: you Scandinavians speak better English than we Americans do! But it still cracks me up when you say that!

[@emil-9432]

Holly crap, that track of yours sounds good!

[@JakobHaq]

This year Ive been making a ”mellow album”. Next year I’ll be working on an EDM album. See the Psychedelic Trance in this video as s teaser of whats to come! 😉🤫🌈🍄💜

[@mrcwalker33]

Dude... I already bought it a week ago or so and you JUST SOLD ME ON IT AGAIN! :D (Seriously, amazing drum synth, by far my fave next to DFAM!)

[@JakobHaq]

Yeah this one is a real killer in so many ways! 👊🏼

[@buschovski1]

Noir got a lot of Balls!!! .....Even when it’s quirky it’s scary. Thank you so much for the vid Jakob it’s very helpful. Dude I’ve been just jamming with it right now. All I need is a bass drum and it smokes. Can’t wait to throw this in AUM

[@PAL-MUSIC-1]

What a load of balls...😎 Great vid again Mr Haq. Helps me a lot.. Nuff respect.!!

[@JakobHaq]

Haha! Thank you 🧡🧡🧡

[@recycology5468]

Awesome I remember Bram Bro, Soft Drum Machine called Hammer right in the 90’s? A free 909 DM very basic but made wav loops that could be saved. Very authentic 909 kicks and snares.

[@hArtyTruffle]

Tried to get this today. App Store not working atm. Which is probably a good thing 😬 Just to be clear. You are definitely helping 👌🏼 edit: got it 😏

[@non-sequitur]

Thanks for this review/tutorial. I got the app a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't even see the "ring/xring" buttons, so thanks for pointing that out! (time for a larger ipad for me!)

[@JeffCfreeradiorevolution]

Brambos makes incredible music apps... i’ll pick this one up for sure!

[@JakobHaq]

It’s definitely worth more than what we pay for it! ⭐️

[@MeerkatMuzic]

Top class review as always thank you.

[@JakobHaq]

Aw, thank you so much! 🧡

[@deltavaudio6323]

That swing beat at 12:00 sounds great

[@JakobHaq]

Thanks Mark! Thank his app makes it easy! 👊🏼😊

[@buschovski1]

It does. The little beep sounds like tainted love. This thing is a damn monster. And it can’t be very funny too.

[@stemshade3108]

Awesome overview. Thanks jacob!

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure. Happy you enjoyed he video! 👊🏼

[@brianreilly6545]

I watch your videos on apps Im not interesed in; your hillarious and a pleasure to listen to 😃. I’ve def gotten too old for beatmaking, good thing for soundscapes lol

[@JakobHaq]

Aw, thank you so much. Means a whole lot to me that you like my work so much! 🧡

[@francoisgagne5999]

This is one of your funniest tutorials. 🎵🎶🫶

[@joeboygsxr]

Knew you'd like this one as soon as I seen it hit the market

[@JakobHaq]

Yeah it’s pretty sick! ⭐️

[@buyukberber]

Awesome demo, awesome app! Thanks!

[@christoroppolo8742]

Whoa! Killer! Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶☮️☮️🛸✌️💀😉❤️

[@junokarah3495]

Great review!! I love the first track that’s played, what other sequencers/vst were you using in conjunction with Noir on this one??

[@theTerribleFamiliar]

Yay! I was so hoping you were going to do a video on this one

[@JakobHaq]

Noir was too good and I paused all other work just to get this one done! How could I not, I mean it’s amazing!

[@FrozenLonesome]

Thanks Jakob! Great video.

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure Steve! 💜

[@Bu.Soul808]

12:10 that shit was so fire 😭

[@pieterRvos1965]

Just bought ; now finding out how to handle it 🤪🤪🤪

[@eyesintheskies]

Only recently moved to iPad and damn the music apps are a whole world ahead of android. Guess they pay a lot more so makes sense. Got the moog app and it blew me away,, this next then that Waldorf wavetable app, perhaps the electribe sampler then maybe aum to gel it all together. Any iOS suggestions appreciated 👍 What’s your favourites?

[@JakobHaq]

Yeah you can’t go wrong with AUM for live jams, experimentation and instant fun. It’s like a modular system but for plugins and MIDI. It’s very special. However it’s not a conventional DAW with arrangement window view. If you need that then look at Cubasis,m or Logic Pro for iPad. . If you need more fun Groovebox type app then check out Pure Acid and Grooverider GR-16. They are both amazing. I have a video about Pure Acid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJaWYah6Yr15d5Y . Further more there’s Drambo which is a groovebox, daw and modular synth platform. Absolutely crazy good! . If you’re looking for synthesizers then ButterSynth is one of the most powerful hybrid synths out there. I have a video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5CzhXh8lMqigbM . One of the best when it comes to wavetable synths. . Another powerful hybrid synth is Nambu. Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaXZqWwatuNb5I . If you want a fat sounding synth without needing deep modulation and stuff then Trooper is mad too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGTKnmaVhrikpck . When it comes to effects and stuff there’s just too much to mention. But I recommend the whole line of FabFilter plugins for iOS. My favs are Saturn 2 and Timeless 3. Timeless video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJuzm6yigJKMncU . Welcome to the world of iOS music making. It’ll take a lifetime to explore the vast variety of plugins. . Also welcome to my Channel. I don’t post as often as other channels. I value quality and in depth content over quantity. It’s a good place when you want to deep dive into what makes certain apps special.

[@sean808080]

Bought it via your link. Hope you get a referral since you totally sold it!

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you. Regarding link. Apple removed the Affiliate system for app sales back in 2018 and so we haven’t been able to earn any money that way since. A lot of people missed this and I never made a video about it either. 😅

[@sean808080]

@@JakobHaq That's terrible to hear. Oh well... you still got me on Patreon! Your videos have been so useful to me in rekindling my love of synthesizers after taking 20 years off. It's all about apps for me now. No more wires and expensive hardware. At least that's what I'm telling myself now. :-)

[@JakobHaq]

Hehe! Thank you so much for your support. And hey, I totally get it. I’m so happy that I’m able to create whatever I want whenever I want to. It’s all thanks to iOS. 👊

[@Grainz_music]

Thank you for your amazing videos, and for inspiring me to get this app, I already use it in my workflow, but very primitively . I have been able to use your VCO balance trick to make different drum sounds, but I am still quite confused on the mechanism of what’s actually happening. Having the slider all the way up when the pitch mod on the VCO is off therefore puts all the signal on one VCO as opposed to the other? Up until now, I’ve been using the sliders to change the pitch with the pitch moD on, so do they have a dual function, changing both the pitch if the pitch mod is on, or the VCO balance if thr pitch mod is off?

[@Nomo_Popo]

Everyone should check out Seekbeats, especially if they aren't impressed with Noir sounds or the fact you have to have an instance for each drum.

[@kallekempe9140]

Funniest shit I've seen in a long time, we ARE getting too old for this shit. Thanks man

[@JakobHaq]

Thanks bro! 💚

[@filip_filso]

that's basically software Moog DFAM

[@metmain5]

Filip Sobczak Yes definitely, I used to have the DFAM and that’s the first thing I thought while watching this

[@787UrbanApparel]

... I was waiting for your review on NOIR ... I’m a Patterning Drum Machine Addict but I could use NOIR to design complex and original drum kits and them import into Patterning by Olimpia . Patterning has eight channels which works excellent for me , NOIR will let me design more complex drum kits . This two will complement each other nicely... I believe!!! Jacob! , what about exporting the drum kits design in NOIR ??? , what are the options. Thanks 🙏

[@emil-9432]

Me too, not really keen on sequencing, just making samples, what’s the easiest way? Everything I can think of seems long

[@787UrbanApparel]

Purplex Borg ; Base on his review, NOIR is only one channel instrument ... I will only use it to sound design and them export into Patterning , which has 8 channels. Drum Samples making is much easier in Patterning Drum Machine... it has increased my productivity by 400% . I truly recommend it ... they also have Patterning 2 , was released a few months ago , not much has change but now you can change Drum Kits on the fly .

[@JakobHaq]

Whenever I make “single shot” samples I always use something like Cubasis where I can record loads of sounds from AU3’s and other apps. I’ll then, cut, paste, layer and fix fades of each sound. After that I export it to AudioShare where I collect all my samples. I like having a good overlook of all my sounds. AudioShare makes sharing easy too since a lot of apps support direct import from AudioShare (some even support importing entire folders like KORG Gadget, Launchpad etc ...) and Audioshare fully supports the “open in command”.

[@787UrbanApparel]

Jakob Haq ; Nice ! , NOIR has an export preset tab ??? , I believe I saw it on the corner right up . I will get it today along with Patterning 2 ... I still do my mix on desktop 🖥 Audacity DAW , because of my studio monitor speakers 🔊 are already plug 🔌 and play . But samples I finger them on my IPad and IPhone 📱 and them exports via email. I did my last mastering with Final Touch App , Love It 😍!!!

[@emil-9432]

Patterning 2 is pretty cool, I’ve been using it as my main drum source since I got it. It’s got some flaws, but the best I’ve found so far.

[@eyecandy-gaming]

Can you show a video of how to use this in bm3. In this video I heard you say you were using it in bm3 but not sure if you did. I got the app. It is fun to use.

[@JaleTM]

I love your dialect!

[@nicolasdebortoli7349]

hi Jakob! at minute 0:20 of your presentation I see a multi-midi? I look for something similar a long time ago (a multi midi OUT). Could you tell me the name? I would like to use it to have several tapei in korg gadget and be able to control more than one external hardware. Greetings from Argentina and thanks for your videos!

[@dubz4828]

YEAH BOOYYYY!

[@csapino78]

Great video Jakob! I love when you add technical stuff when showing apps, like when you talk about the slope of the envelope. Now I understand the small (huge) difference for getting the typical punchy psytrance kicks. :D You where producing some psy I see? will you share something? ;) Cheers!

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure! I’m happy you find my videos valuable! That psytrance track is a teaser for the album I’ll be working on for next year. ;)

[@csapino78]

Jakob Haq cool!!! I can’t wait to hear it! Will you make some videos about psytrance production??? 😃

[@PitaPaaaka]

Nice review! Thank you for the video! Could you please advise an app with which I can record automation of all these knobs?

[@JakobHaq]

There are a few apps that can do that like Beatmaker 3 for instance. My favourite one is Cubasis though. Why? Because that’s what I use to produce most of my music. I used to be a Cubase (desktop) user for many many years before I switched over to iOS. So naturally I started using Cubasis when I found it. Ive got two really detailed throrough videos on AUv3 automation inside Cubasis. Here’s the main one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qajJeWuNjd2ZjNU . And in this one I’m showing the COPY/PASTE function plus a few more things. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV6yiHWnptNrnNU

[@JakobHaq]

And if you need a comparison between Beatmaker 3 and Cubasis then I’ve got that too 😊👍🏼 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2LUmJ-qaquFotE

[@PitaPaaaka]

Jakob Haq Thank you! I appreciate all your info!

[@johan_rosenberg]

How do I actually sync this with a daw on my computer?

[@reidsoundz9905]

It’s DFAM for IOS!!!

[@pieterRvos1965]

Thanks 🤪🐻😀

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure! 🧡

[@housemachine509]

Haq can we mirror the iPad to tv screen and have CUBASIS or any other daw on a bigger screen?

[@WideOpenChange]

I’m a total noob. Do you have a daw recording this while you’re experimenting or do you find something you like and then run it through a daw. And how do you run it through a daw?

[@___Benedetto]

How do you connect NOIR to an op-z i’ve been having trouble using it as a standalone app connecting it to the OP-z .

[@CRASS2047]

Jakob, can you please look into someone making some hurdy gurdy sounds for an iOS app? That would be amazing!

[@JakobHaq]

I’ve looked for one many times. The last app I saw was made 2011 or 2012 and I haven’t heard any news about a new one. It’s a very specific instrument and so not many devs are getting into it. Same thing with the keyharp. I’ve wanted a proper keyharp sound like forever. But it’s hard to find even as a sample pack. 😅

[@CRASS2047]

Jakob Haq that sucks! It’s one of the coolest sounding instruments I’ve ever heard! I first heard it on the Black Sails theme song. Maybe someone could find an owner and record some sounds and put them in an app.

[@sleepinggiant333]

Insta subbed 🙌

[@thescreenviewer1349]

Hi Jakob, which drum machine app would be great to create some glitchy drums like aphex twin and squarepusher? Thanks

[@JakobHaq]

Well, both Aphex and Square made their stuff by cutting up samples and putting them together. However there are today apps that can do some really glitchy stuff. You might want to have a look at Axxon by Audio Damage Inc. It’s an AUv3 drumsynth sequencer and it has the ability to produce some really weird and messed up stuff. . Also, check out GlitchCore (AUv3 FX plugin) by Alex Mathieu. It’ has AU Multi I/O. It chops up stuff. While you’re checking out that one, also check GlitchBreaks (made by the same guy). This is a much older app (no AUv3) it might also actually be what your looking for. . If you need some stutter stuff then check out Perforator (AUv3 FX plugin) by Bram Bos. And while you’re looking at his apps, check out Scatterbrain Audio splitter (AUv3 FX plugin). It has AU Multi I/O support. It chops stuff up too like GlitchCore but different.

[@estevenn_]

Can you pull this up straight into cubasis 3 and record right into cubasis?

[@phantazzor]

How do you do your acid bass line 303 type

[@housemachine509]

Had to revisit this again great video Haq!

[@JakobHaq]

Ha, I’m really happy that you like the video so much! 💚👊🏼

[@marijapaskeviciute365]

Stupid question, but how do I export audio? I have it on my iPhone

[@ladamaury]

Hello! How can you have the waveform on the second ipad? Are you using an app? (Thank you for this review!)

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you! All you need to know about the app you’re wondering about can be found here >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4ero6Nna79no5I

[@slimbeaux]

Jakob, how did you map your controller to the knobs in Ruismaker Noir? Looked all over for settings on the app, checked the manual. I know I am an old slow guy but help me please.

[@JakobHaq]

No problem, I’ll try to clarify. You might have missed it but as I’m stating in the video: “Noir doesn’t have midi learn, no, it has a ‘set’ number of #CC values for each of the controls of Noir”, meaning you can’t change the values inside Noir. . These are ‘set’ and unchangeable. So you’re going to have to map your MIDI controller instead by feeding the correct #CC values into your MIDI controller. . I was using a KORG nanoKEY Studio and had to use the editor for it, to put those #CC numbers into the knobs I wanted to use with Noir. The correct #CC values can be found inside the Noir manual on page 9 and 10.

[@slimbeaux]

@@JakobHaq Saw those in the manual. You can, as Rodolfo Ruiz pointed out in the iPad Musicians group, also load it in to AUM and take advantage of the Midi Learn in that app to do it too. I was very please when I saw that. Of course that means that now I am going to have to really learn AUM. Glad that I know where there are some good teachers.

[@Giga1023]

would all this work well with the ipad air 2

[@EnriquePage91]

One thing I hate about “nowadays” iOS drum apps, is how they’re all electronic. What happened to good ol’ drum samples and a nice layout and workflow like DM1? I wish I could try DM2 (looks a lot like DM1 but apparently it’s from another dev??? Weird), but it’s not on iPhone and my iPad is way too old (running iOS 8 on it lol). BeatHawk is the closest I’ve come and I’m not really sold on it, it’s not bad but i just... I wish there were better AUv3 drum sampled apps.

[@TheGreatPanicker]

How does it work in Garageband ios?

[@VictorSteiner]

Didn't get the balance knob part. Why does it play one OSC one time and the other one the other time? What does the knob balance between? The first 8 and the last 8 parts of the sequencer?

[@JakobHaq]

It balances the volume output between Osc 1&2.

[@VictorSteiner]

Jakob Haq yes but how can it only play the one Osc and then the other without you changing the setting in between?

[@brambos9370]

VictorSteiner in short: pitch mod makes something dependent on the pitch you’re playing. In this case: high note = more osc1, low note = more osc2 :-)

[@JakobHaq]

But it is changing the settings since we’ve set it up in a way so that the mix gets modulated by the placement of the balls/nodes in the sequencer.

[@VictorSteiner]

Jakob Haq aaah so it‘s a bit like a modular synth? Very cool!

[@obshaky]

Which controller you are using?

[@JakobHaq]

KORG NanoKONTROL Studio 👍🏼

[@genebrady]

lol just synthesize your drums and everything else in Nanostudio 2... why do people use all these individual apps for stuff

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

thanks . ( feedback loop playlist ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqqkaWaud7Zpjac

[@spencexxx]

I enjoyed the part near the end where you emptied your balls

[@WhySoBroke]

NO midi learn???!!!arrgghhhhh

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

This app made me delete Axion. Much more useful.
