The beta is over! Noise Engineering moves to full release of three free powerful plugins

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering is happy to announce the end of the public beta and move to full release of three free plugins: synths Sinc Vereor and Virt Vereor and distortion Ruina.

Asked why the move from Eurorack to software, the Noise Engineering team said that it was inspired by several things: first, they’d been bombarded with requests for plugins from modular synth users who love the sound but needed portability or repeatability. They were also extremely aware of the barrier to entry to a modular system and really wanted to make their products more widely accessible (which is partly why this release is free, and will remain free). Finally, they have no plans to stop making modules, but a core value for this small team of six self-described nerds is to keep challenging themselves to learn new things, and making plugins fit the bill. They anticipate further plugin releases based on Eurorack favorites (including a VST3/AU release of their currently AAX-only bundle) coming soon.

Sinc Vereor is an intuitive and powerful synthesizer loosely based on Noise Engineering’s beloved Eurorack module Sinc Iter. Sinc Vereor’s wavemorphing/wavefolding Tone control makes sound design a breeze. Blend between familiar waveforms like saw, triangle, and square. Super mode adds 6 phase-offset oscillators. Use Noise mode to generate self-similar noise for percussion, effects, and more.

Virt Vereor is a powerful synthesizer based on a unique set of synthesis algorithms. Bass is a quadrature algorithm described in Bernie Hutchins’ seminal series Electronotes. Sawx is a supersaw-inspired beast. Harm is an additive algorithm with spectral control and distortion of partials. Virt Vereor makes a tremendous amount of unique sounds with an immediate and usable interface.

Some readers will recognize the names of these algorithms, and indeed they come from Noise Engineering’s contribution to Arturia’s Microfreak V3 firmware and the upcoming Virt Iter module.

Both the Sinc and Virt oscillators are paired with Vereor, Noise Engineering’s easily manipulated dynamics section using an ADSR envelope controlling a variable slope and analog-inspired multimode gate/filter. Add to that a vintage-inspired chorus and a over 1000 presets each, and these synths have something for everyone: bridge the gap between traditional subtractive sounds and modern synthesis techniques, or design innovative basses, leads, or whatever your project calls for.

Ruina is a creative stereo distortion plugin built on digital distortion algorithms: no emulations here. Intuitive and fully automatable controls make it easy to get a gentle, nuanced color, to obliviate a signal, or to dial in anything in between. Don’t feel like tweaking the parameters? Ruina comes with over 500 presets to fit any need, a Random button to generate new sounds, and a Nudge option to just give the parameters the tiniest bump.
Ruina has a wavefolder, a multiband saturator, a chaotic suboctave generator, octavizer, and phase shifter. It also features a notch or bandpass filter with adjustable tracking, and a control to set the order of the distortions in the signal flow to further customize your sound. Last but not least, Overdrive adds up to 128x gain for maximal destruction.

Run any sound through Ruina for warm, lush distortion, or crank the sliders to unleash complete ruin. With seven distortion types, it’s easy to turn your sounds into something singular with Ruina.

All three plugins are free to download: just make an account at the Noise Engineering Customer Portal (https://portal.noiseengineering.us/) and download the installer from the Plugins tab. And while they will remain free, the NE team has big plans to keep developing these. They have a substantial roadmap for future features, some of which were suggestions from the beta users, including introducing extensive internal modulation, more advanced randomization, MIDI learn, MPE support, and more.

Notable features:
• AAX, AU, VST3
• 64-bit Intel + M1
• Mac and Windows
• Intuitive interfaces to easily and quickly manipulate sound
• Use the Random button to generate new patches in one click
• Easy to automate, user-friendly controls. No prior synthesis experience needed, but
synth enthusiasts will also be inspired by the simple-yet-powerful interface

Noise Engineering Announces Three New Firmwares for Their Popular Platform Modules

Ampla Legio multimode filter-gate with vactor-inspired ASD envelope from Noise Engineering

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Ampla Legio was the result of our desire for a stereo gate to accommodate the growing number of stereo audio sources in the Eurorack format. With a multimode filter that can be gnarly or nice, a vactrol-inspired ASD envelope, and CV control over filter frequency and envelope timing, Ampla is a simple-yet-effective solution for organic dynamics control.

More information on Ampla Legio here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

If you already own a Legio module, then you can swap to this firmware for free at our website: https://www.noiseengineering.us."

Press release, including the additional firmwares, follows:



"Noise Engineering announces three new firmwares for their popular platform modules: a formant filter, a cross-modulating oscillator, and a multimode-filter gate.

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their flexible Eurorack synthesizer modules, plugins, and guitar pedals, has announced new options for each of their platform modules: Fala Versio, Toros Iteritas Alia, and Ampla Legio, all releasing this December. Now with10 Versio and 7 Legio and Alia firmwares, Noise Engineering is showing the depth and versatility of the platform concept. In short, if you own a NE platform module, you can go to the Noise Engineering website and swap the firmware to anything else on that platform via USB, as often as you like, free of charge. It’s like getting seven (or ten) modules for the price of one.

First up is Ampla Legio, a simple multimode-filter gate. Lowpass gates are a common tool in modular synthesis, and Ampla Legio brings a modern twist, with a stereo signal path and additional functionality. A vactrol-inspired attack/decay envelope with simple controls modulates the internal stereo VCA and filter, and a sustain phase allows the envelope generator to emulate the response of traditional vactrols. A resonant multimode filter replaces the traditional lowpass model, allowing for LP, BP, or HP response with adjustable squelch. The filter’s base frequency can be adjusted to change the timbre of the gate, and also tracks 1v/8va, allowing the filter to be modulated along with the input signal. Ampla Legio is available as a firmware now.

Coming December 17, 2024 is Fala Versio is a formant filter designed with musicality in mind. While many formant filters attempt to mimic vowel shapes and other traditional sounds, Fala is designed to take the process of formant filtering in a new, musical direction. Along with frequency and resonance controls, Fala features a clock-syncable stereo LFO, a wavefolder, and a post-filter saturator that can take the filter’s tone from beautiful to barbaric. Fala Versio will be available as a module but Versio owners can try it out immediately on release by going to the Noise Engineering Firmware Swap page.

Finally, on December 24, Noise Engineering will drop Toros Iteritas Alia. TIA takes complex three-operator phase-modulation synthesis and makes it simple and fun. Designed for ever-evolving sonic landscapes, Toros has three oscillators with CV-controllable frequency and level parameters. A massive range of timbres are hidden behind its simple interface, with three routing algorithms and a bonus fundamental oscillator output for even more patching capabilities. While Noise Engineering is known for its percussion voices,
Toros breaks the mold, excelling at dark drones and ambient performances.

Ampla Legio is a firmware-only release that works on any Legio hardware and is available starting December 10, 2024. Fala Versio will be available as firmware or a paneled module on December 17, 2024. Toros Iteritas Alia will be available as firmware or a paneled module on December 24, 2024. Platform owners can try them out at launch, completely free, by changing the firmware at the Noise Engineering Firmware Swap page: https://noiseengineering.us/portal/firmware/

Just in time for the holidays (and holiday sales!), all three firmwares are available completely free to owners of each platform. Fala Versio and Toros Iteritas Alia available for purchase as complete modules, too.

Features
• Three all-new firmwares for Noise Engineering’s popular platforms
• Fala Versio brings a new take to formant filtering
• Toros Iteritas Alia makes noisy-or-nice PM synthesis easy
• Use Ampla Legio to control dynamics and timber of any stereo signal
• Platform owners can swap to new firmwares 100% free

Availability and pricing:
Fala Versio: Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 17th, 2024; MSRP US$393
Toros Iteritas Alia: Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 24th, 2024; MSRP US$385

Polydactyl is a powerful multiband dynamics processor plugin that makes it easy to precisely sculpt the dynamics of your audio tracks. Whether you're mixing a full band, tightening up a track, or just looking for creative inspiration, Polydactyl has you covered.

Each stage has separate controls for dynamics and distortion, making it easy to dial in the perfect amount of compression, noise gating and expansion on each adjustable band with ease. Weight controls for Pre and Post stages control how the plugin responds to your signal. Individual Link controls for each stage make it easy to adjust processing. Polydactyl also features lookahead for transparent gain reduction."

Press release follows:



Noise Engineering expands software offerings with Polydactyl and Librae dynamics-processing plug-ins


LOS ANGELES, CA, USA: Noise Engineering is proud to expand its software offerings by announcing availability of Polydactyl and Librae, two new dynamics-processing plug-ins presenting many flavors of compression, expansion, limiting, and distortion — Polydactyl being designed for anything from subtle mixing tasks to complete sonic destruction as a multiband processor, while Librae is made for mixing, mastering, sound design, and stereo-field experimentation — as of April 20…

“From the start, these plug-ins were intended for clean mastering, sound design, and coloration,” comments Noise Engineering Chief Plumber Adam Lange-Pearson, one of two software engineers behind Polydactyl and Librae. “While we worked on these, our chat threads were full for months with picky feedback about levels and sound quality, and heated ergonomics discussion,” he continues, concluding: “By the end, I am pretty sure we argued over every pixel in each meter at least once.”

Ostensibly, Polydactyl is a multiband processor inspired by over-the-top and aggressive techniques, yet it is designed to be versatile enough to be used in almost any mix. Featuring four adjustable bands — plus Pre and Post — to precisely sculpt the dynamics of audio tracks with separate per-section controls for Blend, Gain, Room, Floor, Release, and Stereo Link, the bands can be dialed in individually or the Link function can be utilized to quickly apply user settings across multiple bands (though turning Link off makes it simple to set each band as needed).

Though those controls break away from traditional dynamics-processing layouts, they simplify the workflow for dialing in subtle (or not-so-subtle) dynamics. Dedicated distortion controls such as Saturate, Soft Drive and Hard Drive (with associated Soft Blend and Hard Blend controls for clipping distortion), Zero Pop (for zero-crossing distortion), and output level are also included in each section, which can also be bypassed or soloed.

Saying that, the clean interface of Polydactyl provides a huge range of visual feedback. First and foremost, the frequency spectrum meter displays the output level across the audio spectrum and is interactive — click and drag the lines to adjust the band splits; select bands for further adjustment. Additionally, Polydactyl includes a scalable envelope display to show processing over time and global In and Out VU meters. Moreover, each stage also includes a static curve meter to demonstrate the compression and expansion applied to the signal, and In and Out VU meters.

Librae is a mid/side and stereo dynamics processor with separate controls for Pre, Mid, Side, and Post stages. Duly designed for transparency, Librae is made for master-bus applications, but the team behind the plug-in put a lot of thought into making it a capable tool for creative processing and sound design. Many of its controls are similar to those on Polydactyl. Put it this way: Librae also has separate per-stage controls for Blend, Gain, Saturate, Room, Floor, Release, and Stereo Link, plus distortion controls like Saturate, Soft Drive and Hard Drive (with dedicated Soft Blend and Hard Blend), Zero Pop, and output-level controls. Its Pre and Post stages also feature shelf-EQ weight controls to adjust how the plug-in’s dynamics processing responds to the incoming signal. Librae features a Global Mid < - > Side balance control for easy adjustment. Similarly, each section can also be bypassed or soloed.

It is easy to understand Librae, though, thanks to a detailed graphical interface featuring a goniometer displaying the correlation between the input channels and an envelope display showing processing over time. Each processing stage features a dedicated graphical display with a static curve meter to show the curve applied to the signal, In and Out VU meters, and a weighting graph to visualize the detector shelf EQ weighting (with adjustable Weight High and Weight Low) on the stage input.

In keeping with all Noise Engineering plug-ins, Polydactyl and Librae are designed for automation and each include an extensive internal modulation matrix with LFOs and step sequencers that can be routed to almost any parameter. Moreover, modulators have adjustable randomization for easy humanization.

Intuitive in use from first being opened, Polydactyl and Librae both come complete with a sizeable number of Noise Engineering-provided presets — ranging from subtle and transparent to aggressive and in-your-face — to kickstart anyone in need of inspiration. If more than that is needed then the rand (random) and nudge buttons (to generate and tweak patches in one click) are sure to get creative juices flowing.

Available as two new dynamics-processing plug-ins presenting many flavors of compression, expansion, and distortion, Polydactyl and Librae are ready to take up their positions in signal-processing toolkits the world over.


Polydactyl and Librae are available now in AAX, AU, and VST formats for $49.00 USD apiece, and also available as part of the Build Your Own Bundle (buy any three plug-ins and automatically get one for half price) — only from Noise Engineering here: https://noiseengineering.us

Batverb is the stereo reverb that dreams are made of: less of a room simulator and more of a tail generating pedal, Batverb is an instrument in its own right.

Taking inspiration from our popular tail-generating modules, Batverb brings reverberation and delay to a whole new level with extensive control of timbre, echoes, and dynamics.

Start by setting a predelay time and adjusting Regen to set the length of the tail, from a short slapback-style echo to an infinite wall of reverberation. A variety of unique controls make Batverb sing in any signal chain:

Doom adds in chaotic suboctaves, and Shimmer brings in haunting overtones. With each on its own control, go wild and have both at the same time!

Low and high damping settings for the reverb tank

Add filtering and harmonics to reverb tails

Built-in saturation can apply to only the wet signal or the whole output
Includes onboard dry/wet Blend control and input- and output-gain parameters

Unique Duck switch controls the reverb’s behavior: duck out of the way of an input signal, or match the dynamics of your playing, similar to a gated reverb

Create instant atmospheres with reverb-freezing Hold footswitch
Route the expression input can to any parameter on the pedal

Store and recall 16 different presets and recall them in response to MIDI program-change messages.

Noise Engineering announces Batverb, an experimental reverb, delay, and infinite-tail generator

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their expansive selection of synthesizer effects and sound sources, announces Batverb, a distinctive stereo reverb with a twist.

Noise Engineering’s take on reverb has always been innovative, creating effects that are as much instruments as they are processors. Batverb is no exception: parameters allow the resulting effects to morph organically from slapback delays to infinite reverb tails.

“Batverb was inspired by our Desmodus Versio module, but when we tried to bring the Desmodus experience to guitar, we realized quickly that we would need to rethink the approach. Batverb shares concepts with Desmodus but shares zero code: the entire thing was redesigned from the ground up, with the dynamics and tonality of guitar at the forefront,” said Stephen McCaul, Chief Noisemaker at Noise Engineering. Kris Kaiser who is the Doer of Many Things at the small company added, “Working with guitar was key, but what sounds great on guitar also works really well for loads of other instruments.” Indeed, Batverb’s stereo I/O and MIDI integration make it a perfect choice for a multitude of instruments.

Kaiser continued, “I like to say Batverb isn’t your father’s reverb because it has such unique features.” She’s not wrong. Along with predelay/delay Time and Regen controls, Batverb includes a number of parameters for shaping the tone of the reverb itself. The Grit switch adds a unique harmonic distortion to the tail or the whole mix, and the Doom and Shimmer controls add in subharmonics and overtones. Batverb also has onboard adjustable highpass and lowpass filters to shape the tone to taste.

Batverb’s configurable Bypass footswitch can cut the reverb tail immediately, or simply mute the input to the reverb processor, allowing the tail to ring out while you play. The Infinite footswitch mutes the input to the reverb tank while maximizing the feedback for an infinite atmosphere.

The innovative Duck switch uses the dynamics of your playing to shape the reverb tail. Use the right setting to duck the reverb out of the way of your guitar’s tone, or the left setting to make the reverb’s dynamics match your guitar’s.

Batverb also stores/recalls up to 16 presets with MIDI Program Change messages. Batverb features a convenient MIDI thru jack, so it’s easy to patch into your MIDI control chain. In addition, all parameters can also be controlled via MIDI for automation and remote control from a DAW or configurable controllers.

Noise Engineering is a member of 1% for the Planet and has been donating a percentage of all sales to environmental conservation. Proceeds from Batverb will benefit the organization Bat Conservation International.

Batverb is available for preorder with MSRP of $499. It starts shipping March 13 from noiseengineering.us and retailers worldwide.

Batverb was designed and built in sunny Southern California.

Astute users will recognize these algorithms from Noise Engineering’s contribution to Arturia’s Microfreak V3 firmware and our upcoming Virt Iter module.

Sinc Vereor’s intuitive and inviting controls belie the power of this lightweight synthesizer. Loosely based on Noise Engineering’s beloved Eurorack module Sinc Iter, the wavemorphing/wavefolding Tone control makes sound design a breeze. Three modes provide ample sound options.
We’ve paired the Virt and Sinc oscillator sections with Vereor, our easily manipulated dynamics section using an ADSR envelope controlling a variable slope and analog-inspired multimode gate/filter. Add to that a vintage-inspired chorus and a load of presets, and these synths have something for everyone.

About Ruina:
Ruina is a creative stereo distortion plugin built on digital distortion algorithms. Fully automatable controls make it easy to get a gentle, nuanced color, to obliviate a signal, or to dial in anything in between. Don’t feel like tweaking the parameters? Ruina comes with tons of presets to fit any need.

Ruina has a wavefolder, a multiband saturator, a chaotic suboctave generator, octavizer, and phase shifter. It also features a notch or bandpass filter with adjustable tracking, and a control to set the order of the distortions in the signal flow to further customize your sound. Last but not least, Overdrive adds up to 128x gain for maximal destruction.
Run any sound through Ruina for warm, lush distortion, or crank the sliders to unleash complete destruction. With seven distortion types, it’s easy to turn your sounds into something new and unique with Ruina."

Loquelic Vereor is a complex oscillator built around our interpretations of three classic synthesis algorithms (VOSIM, phase modulation, summation synthesis). Like the Loquelic Iteritas module it’s based on, this Swiss army knife of a synth is capable of a range of sounds that are sure to cut through your mix.

Loquelic Vereor opens up incredible sound-design possibilities. Its two oscillators modulate each other for sounds you have never thought possible in a DAW. From outrageous, chaotic sounds to wild drum sounds to drones, basslines, and leads, with Loquelic Vereor, you can have it all.

Here are 5 things you can do with Polydactyl from Noise Engineering. We used presets and modified parameters to enhance a dull mix, beef up that drum room mic, and add dynamics processing to a clean guitar, Bass VI, and a 12-string.

Smoosh, limit, expand, drive, saturate, and create with Noise Engineering’s Polydactyl dynamics plugins! Polydactyl is designed for anything from subtle mixing tasks to complete sonic destruction.

We also made another dynamics plugin, Librae, made for mixing, mastering, sound design, and stereo-field experimentation. Check these out and other plugins on our website, and 'build your own bundle' for discounts.

Inspired by over-the-top and aggressive techniques but designed for versatility, Polydactyl and Librae are intended for clean mastering, sound design, and coloration."
