Welcome to the world of Noisie – a unique software synthesizer from Odosynths that overturns standard ideas about sound formation. If you are looking for a tool capable of creating not only classic synthesizer timbres, but also exploring the territories of dirt, noise and experimental soundscapes, Noisie will be your reliable companion.
What is Noisie?
Noisie is not just another virtual synthesizer. It is a tool built around the idea of controlled distortion and sound saturation. Its name comes from its ability to transform clean oscillator signals into something that borders on noise, thanks to powerful built-in distortion effects.
Architecture and key features
At the heart of Noisie lies a flexible three-oscillator structure. Each of these oscillators is a self-contained sound source, but their true power is revealed when you start experimenting with the built-in distortion effects:
- Shaper: This effect allows you to change the waveform of the oscillator, adding harmonics and changing its timbre even before the main processing.
- Clipper: Clipping aggressively cuts the signal peaks, creating an effect similar to hard overdrive or fuzz, which is ideal for getting strong, punchy sounds.
It is the combination of these two effects on each of the three oscillators that allows the sound to be brought to such a state of saturation and dirt that it really becomes “noisy” – hence the name of the plugin.
Modulation and sound shaping capabilities
Noisie offers a wide range of tools for dynamic shaping and modulation of your sound:
- Modulation oscillator: A special oscillator designed exclusively for modulating other synthesizer parameters opens the door to complex and mobile timbres.
- FM/PM and PW: Frequency/phase modulation and pulse-width modulation (for square/sawtooth waves) allow you to create rich, complex and evolving sounds.
- Cutoff, AM and Ringmodulation: Classic synthesis tools that allow you to shape the spectrum (Cutoff), as well as create metallic and ringing timbres using amplitude and ring modulation.
- Two filters with envelopes and BPM-synchronized LFOs: The presence of two independent filters with their own envelopes for dynamically changing the cutoff frequency and LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator), which can be synchronized with the tempo of your project, allows you to create rhythmic and expressive timbre changes.
- Pitch Envelope: Allows you to add a characteristic “impact” or “takeoff” at the beginning of the note.
- Noise/Sub-oscillator: An additional sound source that can be either white/pink noise or a sub-bass oscillator to add weight and body to your sound.
Built-in effects
In addition to the unique shapers and clippers on the oscillators, Noisie is equipped with a set of classic studio effects that will help add space, movement and a final touch to your sound without the need to use additional plugins:
- Chorus
- Phaser
- Delay
- Distortion
- Gater
These effects allow you to expand the sound palette of Noisie, moving from raw and aggressive timbres to more spatial, atmospheric or rhythmically processed sounds.
Preset
For quick start and demonstration of the capabilities of Noisie, a library of 128 presets is included. These presets cover a wide range of sounds, from classic synthesizer timbres to experimental sound effects and, of course, various “noisy” textures. They are a great starting point for your own sound design or can be used directly in your compositions.
Conclusion
Noisie from Odosynths is a powerful and flexible tool for musicians and sound engineers who want to explore new sound horizons. Its unique architecture with an emphasis on controlled distortion, combined with extensive modulation capabilities and built-in effects, makes it an ideal choice for creating leads, basses, pads, effects and experimental sounds in various musical genres. If you are ready to add character, dirt and uniqueness to your music, Noisie is waiting for you.
