iPhone Application Watch: noise.io, Glyph, Bullfrog Touch, iLaugh, iRingPro Ringers, Opera banned?

noise.io

Noise.io, which we got all excited about in August but has been delayed for over two months, is finally available in the App Store.

It looks like those extra two months haven’t been wasted, either, because there’s a heck of a lot of functionality under the hood. It’s no exaggeration to say that this really is the iPhone’s first, and best, monophonic synthesiser (though that’s not to detract from some of the other wonderful music and synth apps available). Here’s the official press release:

Amidio, Inc has released Noise.io - the first full-featured sound synthesizer for the iPhone and iPod Touch. One of the most anticipated handheld music applications, Noise.io is capable of creating all kinds of melodic sequences, basses, leads, keys, bells, percussive sounds and sound effects. Designed by an experienced electronic musician, Noise.io makes it possible to create 303-like acid basslines or any other melodies using the buit-in sequencer, or jamming live in sync with the rhythm using the TapBPM feature. Extensive sound control possibilities are implemented - fingersliding, multitouch, accelerometer, velocity-sensitive dual keyboard and a modulation matrix. 9 factory preset banks are included: Azure Leads, Warping Basslines, Infinite Keys, Distant Bells, Touch the Bass, Strange Places, Klang Percussive, FX Pack 1, totalling in 81 presets. Noise.io utilizes an original synth technology called ESFM and features 3 generators, 2 filters, 3 LFO, 3 sequencers, 6 effects, unlimited presets, extensive user support and much more. Users are able to instantly share their banks with the community utilizing the on-line preset repository at the website http://noise.io. Noise.io is available on the App Store for $9.99 (£5.99) (introductory price).
