The creator of the website here. Thanks for your kind comments! Just wanted to add that I am currently working on a tribute to the original Blade Runner soundtrack... as the action of that movie takes place in November 2019 (!) Now re-creating the sound of the legendary Yamaha CS-80 (played by Vangelis) by programming varied analog synthesizers (I do not own a CS-80). Stay tuned!

I thought you already had a "Blade Runner" style one listed as Electric Sheep, no?

I really like that one, BTW.

Well spotted! If you read the introductory text on that one, it is meant as a teaser for the upcoming one. The difference is that 'Electric Sheep' is made of sound sources taken from other myNoise generators, while the upcoming one will come with its own original sources.

As a subscriber, this is nice to hear about; I was actually thinking about creating my own (however that is done - I know it is possible in some manner as a subscriber) - but I'm not an audio expert so I would probably have screwed it up anyhow.

There used to be a site that allowed you to "mash up" multiple sources of audio and gifs to create ambient backgrounds. One that was my favorite consisted of a particular "rain and thunderstorm" audio track, an audio track of "bladerunner ambience" sound, plus a track (pick whatever) of "You are listening to {city}" - which was (is still?) a site that had recordings (or live streams - I don't recall) of police scanner recordings. You could take those, mix them up, then drop a background on screen of a "cyberpunk city" and add javascripted "rain drops" as if you were looking out a window onto the city...

It was a great effect, but like most things on the internet, the "pieces" either went away or changed in some fashion, and it was no longer available. But I've always wanted that same thing back - and what you describe might come really close to that.

Can't wait to see (ok, hear) it!

Ah, cool. Yeah I didn't read - just let it play. Looking forward to the originally sourced upcoming version!

I just want to say thank you. That classic CS-80 is probably my favorite instrument of all time. It makes me incredibly happy to see people still producing music with the same spirit.

You may know about this already, but there's a small batch / DIY synth called Deckard's Dream[0,1] aimed at recreating the Yamaha CS-80 sound.

Yes, there is that Deckard's Dream project that already exists; Yamaha is also considering making a modern re-issue of the CS-80, and so does Behringer. Any good analog synth with with two filters in series per voice - a high-pass and low-pass modulated by the same envelope - can come quite close to the CS-80 (though purists will say it won't). Here where I am at the moment : https://soundcloud.com/audiosampling-1/november-2019-is-comi...

That is terrific, I'm very much looking forward to your Blade Runner OST homage!

I didn't know about the behringer clone, that looks pretty awesome. I'm certainly no synth purist, just very happy to see that the CS-80 vibe is still alive and well.

Do you think you can update the app to 1. allow premium users of the site to receive premium benefits in the app and most importantly 2. allow us to listen to any sound generator rather than a very stripped down selection, most of which are not free?

[audiosampling]

Each platform is independent and tries to fund itself. If I was working/forcing subscriptions, it would be different; I would likely offer a universal access to subscribers. Currently, each platform is friendly priced. On the web, users donate what they want; on mobiles, price is fixed around USD 10 for a lifetime access to all sound generators, current and future (currently 200+). The difference is that I program the web myself and it is my responsibility to live from donations. Mobile apps are subcontracted to a professional coder, hence the difference in models. I know, it is not easy to understand, when you don't know where the project comes from. I can understand your frustration. Feel free to send an email to me if this answer leaves you unsatisfied.

[mgoetzke]

Must have that. But make sure it is ready within November 2019 (very important for obvious reasons) preferably before the Tesla Truck reveal.

[audiosampling]

November 2019 is the goal, of course!

Wonderful wooooooork man! Superb. I love Vangelis vibes! Excited about what you'll do with Bladerunner!
