Noisetar

Noisetar is a free software synthesizer developed by NUSofting. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Noisetar is a synthesizer dedicated to the generation of many different noise based sounds.

The generation is purely mathematical, no samples or wavetables are used, thus allowing for an easy continuous morphing from one sound to the other. Twelve parameters control the generator, moreover its output can be further shaped and enriched inside Noisetar with its two filters, a chorusing reverb and a stereo enhancer. As modulators Noisetar offers an ADSR envelope and keytracking, with seven destinations.

Using the included bandpass filter, which is tuned to the incoming MIDI notes, is also possible to play Noisetar melodically.

Noisetar is designed with DAW parameter automation in mind to tailor complex custom modulations tied to each project rather then dealing with complicated patches.

Noisetar has its own sound space, ranging from various digital noises to crackle, rattles and crepitations similar to wood fire or rain, scratchy percussions and foot stomps, with many others from the lowest booming and gurgling drones, to thin misty hisses. The quality and types of Noisetar sounds obviously doesn’t cover all possible noise sounds, but most certainly will increase your noise arsenal without taking up more than 2MB on your drive.

Any musical genre can make use of a versatile noise synth. Enjoy exploring its unique sound space.

Unique integrated sound engine, with comb filter, LFO, AM, FM etc…

NINJAM Plug-in

NINJAM Plug-in is a free routing Audio Unit plugin developed by Expert Sleepers. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

NINJAM Plug-in is a plug-in client for NINJAM.

NINJAM is a program to allow people to make music together via the Internet. Every participant can hear every other participant. Each user can also tweak their personal mix to his or her liking. NINJAM is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac OS X and Windows.

There are various NINJAM client applications already in existence. Generally though these are designed around the assumption that you’re just using the computer to send and receive audio, and that your instruments are just fed into your computer’s audio interface. If however your instrument is your computer, it’s not really possible to get audio in and out of the Ninjam system in a convenient way.

By having the Ninjam client in a plug-in, it makes it very easy to combine Ninjam into your normal computer-based music setup. It also gives you many more creative options for routing signals in and out of Ninjam, even without multi-channel audio hardware attached to your computer.
