Coming Soon : NerDie - inspired by SOMA RoAT (sound only, no words)

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

Follow-up to OktaDie and .

"No tutorial. No voiceover. No slides.

Just NerDie, a synth inspired by SOMA RoAT (Rumble of Ancient Times), played live, and the sound that comes out of it.

NerDie is an 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer — AAX, VST3, AU, AUv3 (iOS) and Standalone. The engine runs on integer uint8_t arithmetic at a fixed chip rate: overflow, wrap and quantization aren't simulated after the fact — they are the signal.

What you're hearing:

· 4 8-bit oscillators, 16 waveforms each, 19–1350 Hz
· 4 LFOs modulating pitch or level
· 3 mix topologies × 3 nodes × 8 algorithms = 1,536 ways to sum them
(addition, overflow, subtraction, ring mod, XOR, FM, waveshaping)
· Resonant 8-bit lowpass filter
· One-bar sequencer with overdub, master/slave clock
· CHAOS for instant chaos, drift for the slow kind, RND for a full patch
rendered and measured before it arrives — so it always plays
· 32 registers across 8 pages
· MPE: four oscillators, four voices — press, slide, strike and bend routed
through a matrix that decides what they move
· Pixel interface, two views: the panel, with hardware-style pot pickup,
and the matrix, with all 32 registers in sight for DAW work

Recorded in one take, no post-processing on the audio.

Headphones recommended.

Coming soon!

Formats: AAX · VST3 · AU · AUv3 · Standalone (macOS, Windows, iPad, iPhone)
