Lovely to hear the Veni Creator being sung here. An enjoyable diversion on this particular piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSneZQ9duE4

Very nice diversion (with a great sound quality). BTW, if you like that Gregorian song, here with individual sliders control : https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/gregorianChoirGenerator.ph...

I love MyNoise so much. I looked for a long time for a good white noise generator, since there are so many crappy ones on the Internet, and MyNoise nails every last detail. If you're in a similar position, definitely scroll through the variety of noise generators available, you'll almost certainly find one or more that work great for you.

Please consider donating to the creator if you like what you find, I really want that site to stay online indefinitely.

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.

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

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

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?

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!

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.

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