Description

NOISE is a free app that makes music mobile, so you can sketch musical ideas anywhere you take your connected device. Using easy-to-learn gestures you’ll create beats, melodies, and songs with a diverse library of sounds — all on the touch screen of your phone or tablet. Extend the musical power of NOISE by pairing it with ROLI BLOCKS devices.

A NEW APPROACH TO MAKING MUSIC
A glass surface becomes unbelievably musical with NOISE, which lets you make and shape sounds by drumming the screen, gliding your fingers along it, pressing into it, and lifting off. You create music through intuitive gestures on a series of easy-to-navigate interfaces.

A HIGH-POWERED MUSICAL SKETCHPAD
Not only can you perform music with NOISE. You can also produce. Start by choosing from custom-made sounds that range from to string sections to crunchy hip hop basses. Record basslines and melodies as loops of varying lengths. Mix and match your loops to build amazingly multi-layered songs — all within the app. Then export your project to desktop studio software and refine your musical idea further.

500 SOUNDS — AND GROWING
The ever-growing library of NOISE sounds include powerful percussion, sparkly synths, magic flutes, head-banging guitar leads, rousing orchestrals, and stunningly life-like acoustic strings and brass. World-renowned artists like Pharrell, Grimes, RZA of Wu-Tang Clan, Steve Aoki, and Rudimental have also created customized packs of their signature sounds. 35 sounds are completely free, and hundreds more are available through in-app purchases.

ROLI BLOCKS TAKES YOUR MUSIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL
The power of NOISE expands when you connect to ROLI BLOCKS, the modular music-making system. Pairing wirelessly, NOISE becomes the sound engine for the Lightpad Block and Seaboard Block controllers. Apply the musical gestures you’ve learned in NOISE to the pressure-responsive silicone surfaces of BLOCKS — and be even more expressive. Watch films and learn more about BLOCKS on ROLI.com.

Minimum Requirements:
• Phone 6 or higher
• iPhone SE
• iPad Mini 4, iPad Air 2, and iPad Pro
• iPod Touch 6th Gen
• iOS 9 or higher

ishkabibbs,
Limited, Good but could be better
I’ve been using the NOISE app now for about a year and I’ve noticed some crashing after extensive use upwards of three hours. Overall I like the app it does a really good job at giving you super expressive sounds and giving you the ability to create anything you want. I honestly think because it’s limiting it helps with the creative process. That being said I think there are ways it could be made a little bit better for the creative process: The effects page would be better if it could be integrated completely for people who don’t have the Roli block. It would be great if the effects could be used in the loops while recording. maybe a hold button for the effect while going back to the loop/instrument page so you can hear the effect in the loop without having to play the effect live? Also other people have mentioned this as well, it would be great to be able to export to more than just Ableton live and the noise public domain crap. And one last thing it would be great if noise was not exclusive with roli midi products, I get it it’s by the same company but it would be fantastic and honestly more enjoyable to use the app in with other midi controllers.
phyzeyes,
1 year later update
I really like this app for what it is. I can do things with this that I can’t even approximate with any other programs or instruments. That said, I have given up trying to use my song maker kit with it. It disconnects constantly, and tells me there are too many blocks connected after I link only one, usually the light lock. I have never been able to use my ROLI kit and the added live block successfully except plugged into my desktop Mac. the set up is not intuitive and constantly disconnects. I have powerful wi fi streaming connection,100mbps that’s not the issue. ROLI sent me to their support pages which have never resolved it for me. So, I’m only using this to make ableton clips and loops. Still I’ve only begun to explore its numerous packs and sounds.
The app gets 4 stars and I’m being generous. I would give it 5 if my $600 song maker kit would stay connected. Please ROLI, there are kinks in this brilliantly conceived soundscape tool. Keep updating please.

ok I found out that the kit parts must be separated to link each with the app. Roli continues to inspire, and with Studio Player and studio drums I can play in Ableton and Logic Pro x. My only frustration is in not having the ability to keep groups of sounds in a folder where I can easily plug the selected voices into the new song. Some sounds work well together. Instead of having to search for the same sounds over and over. But, roli rules emotive sound expression, thank you
MACKSBOOKisintheAIR,
Super cool!
This is from Korg iKaossilator category but its much way much above, being able to control much more and get much close to your idea with the ability to write jazz styles with acoustic instruments its just fantastic! It has professional sound quality and the ability to control parameters of sounds with just slides, there is no app like this one, at least from all the music apps i bought since iPhone 4s came out, really this app is one of a kind. Only a-few things i miss that i found useful in many apps;
1. The ability to lower the metronome volume or the option to play only when recording.
2. To edit every pattern after recording. So many times i get to almost the way i want it but only one kick or note in the beginning or at the end its off the line and i need to re-record from the beginning. Being able to edit the pattern or set to a smaller number of quantization will save the original ideas i get when i start to record something. The more i re-record the more i slide away from the original idea but whatever what you do with this app it sounds cool :)
3. This one is not the most important but i think people will appreciate it — the ability to play with a midi keyboard that haz a joystick. To play a note and control the sound parameters with the joystick it sounds cool.
ResiliAntMonk,
Lots of potential, not there yet
Things we need:
1. Better sound organization: I want to make groups of sounds so I don’t have to scroll forever during a live performance
2. Effects controls: I can control effects using my Rise, but I can’t otherwise and the effects choices do not save
3. More tracks and track options: panning is a must, and better abilities to start and stop a loop, easier methods of changing a loops length. Sometimes I accidentally trigger a loop and can’t stop it
4. More quantization control: swing amount, different subdivisions of quantization
5. Inter app audio: don’t understand why this still isn’t a thing
6. Better build quality in the Seaboard block. I’ve played a few mismanufactured boards and the rubber can easily peel off
7. Maybe a sound controls block to bring the Rises effects control to the blocks

What I love:
1. Hardware responsiveness: how my phone has less latency with a seaboard and a block than my brand new MacBook Pro is mystifying.
2. The new light block is SUPER rad. Very responsive and expressive.
3. Cheap, dope sounds (for the most part) the SWAM stuff is especially insane although I wish I could make it polyphonic
4. I can use my phone to perform live interesting and expressive electronic music: it changes the game
Leom187,
Nice idea, poor execution
This app would probably get 4 or 5 stars if it weren’t for the built in keyboard/playing surface. The pitches are arranged in stacked rows where each row increases in pitch left to right, until you reach the end of the row where you must go back to the beginning of the next row to get the next highest pitch. This requires two axis of movement just play the pitches, ON TOP of additional movement to vary the sounds. This is absolutely not ideal on a touch screen at all where fingers tend to want to slide in one direction. This makes for a tedious jamming experience as you must always watch your fingers carefully. Now you could use the Seaboard layout, but that layout lacks scale lock ability, another important aspect for jamming on a touchscreen. Please developers, i implore you, either add scale lock ability to the Seaboard layout, or change the square grid to a simple left to right, linear pitch arrangement with adjustable key width and range. Where x is pitch and y changes the sounds. There is simply too many axis of movement to keep track of on the square grid to truly lose yourself in the jamming process. I’m really not keen on paying for any of the GREAT sounds you’ve crafted if I’m not able to play them with ease. See iKaosillator or Animoog for examples.
JC. Music,
Great Concept! Crashes need fixing
This is a great concept for an app and would pair well with making music on the go, the only unfortunate part is that it doesn’t quite work to well anymore. I have the latest IPad Pro and everything is up to date in terms of software and hardware yet the application continues to crash. I may be able to play on one instrument at a time but when I go in to record a beat that I’m making it will completely crash. I have tried to uninstall the application but with no luck. While yes it can be limiting I think it makes for a great set up for on the go and I mean really on the go. For those who don’t like how limiting it can be, there is a large library of software and soundpacks available from ROLI on their website and I must say these work really well. If you really want to utilize your blocks or any seaboard for that matter to its full extent I would highly recommend getting ROLI software such as Equator 2 or ROLI Studio Player. These make up for this app, if you’re thinking about taking your experience to the next level or just want your seaboard to work and be able to make music with it then I say download the pc software.
CherokeeBLood,
Noise is a game changer
Could Roli improve certain aspects of Noise and add some much needed features? Absolutely. However, I think it’s easy to focus and get caught up on the small things and miss the overall picture. With the things that Noise needs to work on, overall, this app is absolutely incredible. Period. I’ve written an entire album using Noise exclusively, other then some added guitar,key and vocals tracks. Sounds huge. It’s an incredibly intuitive app. You can bend notes and do things a regular midi keyboard can’t do. You can play it more like a guitar then a keyboard. The added effects took it to another level. If they added 6-8 channels rather then 4 and added more sound packs, that would be the icing.
Get past the initial discouragement period and soak this app in. I’ve bought Many virtual instrument apps and Nothing comes close to what Noise can do. I’ve got the tracks to prove it;-)
Anythingmac,
Pretty much perfect
I found this app when I was 11. I had melodies flying around in my head I could never record, and I had to accept that as a fact. Anyway, I decided not to play games at CostCo, and activate this app.
I opened it, and pushed. It was LOUD, and it sounded freaking awesome. I turned down the volume and messed with it for a while, not even looping, just making sounds with 1-3 fingers, changing the effect. The 3D touch was just magic.

Four years later, I found it on my device. I still had notes in my head but it was a 2D touch device, and the notes were still a lockbox, stuck inside my voice.

I found I liked the sound of the arpeggiator, the loops, and the 2D touch.

I tapped some colored buttons together... and let the melody go free.

I can’t ever get that release on GarageBand.

There is just so much power that is so easy to play with on the Lightpad screen.

It’s just divine.

I use it for all my film scores now instead of the premade stuff.

I love how accessible it is to anyone teenage with a melody in their mind who’s ****-bent on playing music.

Thank you ROLI, this app is a gift. So immersive and expressive and yet free.
If you can’t play music, don’t let anything stop you- click that get button, open it, hum a melody, and then go for it.
The 5D Expressions pack it comes with is more than enough for any amateur.
amdenis,
It keeps improving, and has world class teaching and creative potential
The Roli hardware is great, and once the bugs are substantially squashed in the apps and firmware I will be world class. Although a lot has been fixed in the past year, some issues remain.
Still, once you figure out how to work around the current issues, the Roli boards and pads allow you to make music like nothing else I have played.
One thing... Roli needs more fundamentals and creative exploration tutorials. I would hire on interns run by an instructional designer familiar with Roli and music. You could do it with a university to grant credits, write some grant proposals and help many find the joys of music, while exploding your market. I and others have done this sort of thing before— it works.

Bluetooth nightmares!
There are things I like about the Roli Noise app, Lightpad Blocks & Control Blocks I will say the “Bluetooth aspects of them have proved to be completely unreliable and for the most part unusable. I am returning the loop, touch & live blocks as getting them to connect is rare and the few time I was able to connect on an older iPad that isn’t the iPad I need to use because of limited space...the devices aren’t really useful as you will still need to go to the iPad interface to adjust many of the functions anyway...making these devices sort of pointless. The Lightpad Block is cool but joy “DO” have to exert a bit of force to make a sound even the quietest sound. I guess I got too used to playing on the iPads surface which is more responsive but grossly lacks the touch nuances you get from the Lightblock. I’ll keep the Lightpad and return the the other little devices. Overall I’m very disappointed with this gear.
