People forget that TAL has stood the test of time and their synths are incredible. I still use their chorus to this day.
from the start, TAL has given users a lot of freedom. love this company.

this really is a banger, the ui is not too overwhelming. includes bitcrusher and delay, crazy good free synth
Great overview of the settings, thanks!
I like that I can program sounds myself in Noisemaker with very little knowledge of how synths work, but there's still a lot I can do with it. Another free synth that's very simple to use and program is the Cherry Audio Surrealistic Concertmate MG-1+, which emulates a synth you could buy at Radio Shack in the early '80s, which in turn was based on a Moog mono synth.
Seems like a nice interface. I'll need to dive into it alongside Vital.
I love this plugin ❤
Does anyone know what the lock button that is next to the midi learn button is for?
Start is at 0:28.
Thanks for this btw, a lot of the learning material out there for TAL noisemaker seems to be for an older version that doesn't seem to have the same layout?
I don't get what the bitcrusher is doing. It only seems to have very small effect range in the upper-left area of the knob and beyond that it's either silent or has no noticeable effect. The manual and all the reviews seem to skip right over it, is that because it really is basically useless?
It reduces the bit depth. It emulates ancient digital equipment that didn't have the pristine clarity of modern 16-bit or 24-bit digital. For example, the MPC was only 12-bit. Emu Emulator was only 8-bit. Those pieces of gear still sound great even though they have that subtle crunchiness, and some other argue that they sound great because of it. You're right, reducing the bit depth is a fairly subtle effect.
The omission of the mod wheel for vibrato/LFO or filter cutoff is strange.
DAW automation makes the thing. Noizemaker is not a synth you want to play on in standalone mode (where presence of modwheel does make sense).
@@theMerzavets Whether it’s standalone or DAW, real-time mod wheel vibrato has been the norm since the Mini Moog. This should be “default” behavior
I love this synth. I would love if it let you choose the waveform of the Sub Osc.
It's not Serum, so quit trying to influence its design. It's perfect the way it is.
@@kiillabytez I hope someday you can forgive me.
@@gustavokoshikumo I'll consider it.
super usefull tutorial
Hey man, great video, I'm using NoiseMaker for a few months now but this helped me a lot. I have an issue though, I'm using it with a Midi Controller, and even though it has the Midi Learn up there, it seems it doesn't lock and save what it learned for all the presets. Let's say I assigned some stuff to it, created a few of my own presets, then realized I wanted a different configuration of my knobs and faders. So I use the Midi Learn and from now on the presets I make will have the new configuration, but the ones I created before that change will remain with the old knob/fader assignments, any solution to this?
I usually save the preset in the daw instead of saving it in the plugin itself. This is how it saves different midi configurations
🔥🔥🔥
hello, i sorry but I can't figure out how to play a sound. I'm using the cubase virtual keyboard
nice video, thanks. perfect tutorial, however i think you didn't preview any of the really good presets it has, esp with the bass and lead sounds it has.
Can some one help, how to install it to Flstudio 21?
cool gated sound :D
What exactly is pulse width? Cause i imagine it as aomething we would call frequentcy. The length of one wave.
i think it's the ratio of the length of high period to the length of low period
@@quadroninja2708yes, i learned in the meantime. Still cant comprehent how that would change the sound in a intuitive way tho. Its complicated.
Love it for fat warm basses!!
Thank you!
Do you need a mini controller to use this?
No.
No. Just load it into any DAW and make notes with its “piano roll”.
You can't adjust volume of individual notes. It runs all of them at the same level. How can that be 'fantastic'? (-:

@@Thoracius Aaarrgghh! What a bad of mine! I am very new in tweaking synthesizers. Thanks much!
TAL isnt to bad but its sounding a bit dated! Try Vital Helm or Surge!
well, subtractive analog synthesis is a different beast than wavetable synthesis. both have their place. use them together! of course i love surge and helm, vital takes too much CPU on my cheap laptop, although i own serum and sm1, both which work great even on cheaper computers. esp sm1, very low cpu usage. as far as analog synths, esp for oberheim, i like hybrid, it costs a couple dollars, lots of nice polysynths.

Don't you mean homophonic?
lol both of you. hah @@perprerp
