About the Synths:
Virt Vereor is a powerful synthesizer based on a unique set of three synthesis algorithms. Virt Vereor makes a tremendous amount of unique sounds with an immediate and usable interface.

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."

Noise Engineering Releases Three Free Plugins

You can find demos in previous posts here.

via Noise Engineering

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
• Fully MIDI-mappable
• Tons of presets included
• Three unique synthesis algorithms inspired by little-known synthesis techniques
(quadrature, supersaw beast, and additive)
• Huge number of distortion possibilities with wavefolding, octavizing, multiband
saturation, suboctave generation, phase shifting, and overdrive

Noise Engineering | Free Plug-ins for your DAW!

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Ever wanted a Ruina Versio but don't have the budget? Always wanted to have a polyphonic 'iteritas' oscillator that blends, bubbles, screams and morphs into amazing pads, metals, beats, bass lines and leads? Noise Engineering just released public beta's of their 95% finished DAW plugins. I normally don't cover plug-ins on this modular channel, but these are too good to be free. But they are! Free for everyone that has a Customer Portal account or is able to create one. Here's all you need to know: https://www.noiseengineering.us/blog/...

Sinc & Virt Vereor are synth voices with built in envelope, filter and chorus. Ruina is a pretty exact port of the Ruina Versio module code. This video is just me fooling around with the plug-ins for about an hour, so they're easy to install (remember they're VST3's on windows, so you need Ableton to find it) and even easier to play with them.

Cycle Dub - A eurorack modular synthesizer patch.

Published on Mar 11, 2016 Luke Killen

"Cycle Dub is a Deep, self running dub. The bassline is a modulated Mutable Instruments Braids in FM mode to push out some deep and clean sub Bass frequencies.

The rhythm is a simple set of triggers coming from a Delphtronics trigger man. The triggerman is clocked by one channel of a 4MS QCD which is being modulated by a Xoac Tirana which is clocked from a Abstract Data AED32. the ADE32 is reseting the Tirana every once in a while and also reversing it every so often.

The pitched snare is from a modulated Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteratus.

Hats are noise from a Steady State Fate Ultra-Random Analog filtered through a Intellijel uVCF which is being modulated by a Make Noise Maths.

The Maths provides an EG for the hat's envelope. The left channel of the Maths also modulates the Timbre input of the Braids with a short attack and release envelope.

A mutable instruments Rings provides one of the the two sound effects. It is filtered through a WMD/SSF Pole Zero and is ducked using an inverted envelope output from a Frequency Central X envelope. The trigger follows that of the kick which is a Mutable Instruments Peaks.

The hats are also ducked by the X envelope.

The other effect sound is a Mannequins Mangrove frequency modulated by A WMD/SSF Spectrum, which is modulated on the 1v/oct by a Make noise Rene and a Tiptop z8000 via an Intellijel uScale 2. (One on the Input and one on the Transpose).

Reverb and Delay are provided by Plugins live in the DAW."

An Interview with Barry Schrader

Hi everyone! As you know Barry Schrader will be giving his farewell concert at CalArts on September 26. The following is the beginning of my interview with him. I opted to post the questions and answers as they come in.  New QAs will get a new post so you do not miss them and they will be added to this post so we have one central post for the full interview. This should make it easier for all of us to consume in our busy lives, and it will allow you to send in any questions that may come to mind during the interview process.  If you have anything you'd like to ask Barry, feel free to send it in to matrixsynth@gmail.com.  This is a rare opportunity for us to get insight on a significant bit of synthesizer history, specifically with early Buchla systems, and I'd like to thank Barry for this opportunity. Thank you Barry!
