NerDie - 8 bit Noise Machine

Build chip-style mono sounds using integer oscillators, register controls and a sequencer.

Our take

Useful for musicians exploring noisy generative patches

Standalone/AUv3 operation, MPE mapping and portable presets offer several performance paths.

Keep in mind: CHAOS may produce silence; host/MIDI and desktop-preset compatibility need testing. Independent simulation is not endorsed by SOMA.

What you can do

  • Four oscillators/LFOs and summing algorithms
  • One-bar clocked sequencer and MPE gestures
  • .ner presets, undo and zoomable register controls

Good for

  • Sound designers comfortable with experimental synthesis

Consider alternatives for

  • Guaranteed musical randomization or included original hardware

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • CHAOS may produce silence; host/MIDI and desktop-preset compatibility need testing. Independent simulation is not endorsed by SOMA.
