We Emerge from the Snow

WAKE UP!!

...NOISE Blog is back!

New Merch 🧢

Let’s start this blog post with something awesome.

We have some new TIN merch for sale!

We rarely ever do merch drops *camera pans to beanies out of stock since 2023*, but inspiration struck and we knew it was time to launch something new.

🥁 Introducing 🥁

Synth Invaders Shirt

A legally distinct shirt for all you Gamma Mini Synth lovers out there 🫶

This colourful shirt features a retro arcade design, portraying a battle set in space, with Gamma Gotchi’s as the invaders.

The shirt itself is an ultra light 50/50 cotton/polyester blend; dark grey in colour.

TIN Dad Hat

Perfect for the warm weather coming up 🌞

This one-size fits all dad hat features our text logo embroidered in white on the front, with adjustable buckle on the back.

The hat itself is made of 100% cotton, unstructured, and low profile; black in colour.

Both the shirt and hat are super limited, with a re-stock possible, but not guaranteed. So if you want one be sure to snag it while you can!

Gamma Batch 3 🏗️

Ah, the first Gamma Batch of 2026 (exciting!!).

For all those who are patiently waiting for their Batch 3 Gamma order, good news, your wait is nearly over! 

We are expected to hit our estimated April start-date for shipping, with components landing late this month and the earliest orders going out the door soon after. That said, building/fulfilling can take time, and we do expect the majority of orders to ship within the first half of May

As always, a massive thank you to everyone who has placed an order, we’re so pumped for the opportunity to get more Gamma’s out there!

NM2 Stock 📦

More stock news!

Around the same time we ran out of Gamma Batch 2 (mid-February) we also ran out of NM2’s.

This is largely due to the saxophone/trumpet/horn + NM2 craze that has been going on for the last few months on social media sites:

So freakin’ cool 😍

Like Gamma, new NM2 stock had an expected April start-date for shipping. Also like Gamma, we intend to hit this target.

NM2’s last components are expected to land mid-April, with initial orders going out soon after. Luckily for us, building NM2’s isn’t nearly as intensive compared to Gamma, so we expect the majority of orders to ship by the end of April.

In the meantime, keep the horn videos coming guys! 🎺

Software Updates 🖱️

Gamma Software 2.0

To say we’re excited about this software update would be a massive understatement.

We were approached by software engineer Tino Rusch earlier this year, the lead developer behind VibeLang (a super cool programming language for music creation). 

Since his initial outreach, Tino has been hard at work making huge contributions to Gamma’s software, culminating in a slew of new features we’re really excited to show off!

We’re currently working with Tino to polish up the firmware for official release, expected to launch late-April or early-May.

Have any guesses on what Gamma Software 2.0 will include? Drop them in the comments!

p.s. if you'd like to be added to the list of beta testers for Gamma firmware please reach out 

NM2 Version 1.2

We pushed a small NM2 update back in March, adding a few highly requested features:

• MIDI CC Value input for buttons in web app.

• MIDI CC Toggle option (latching) for buttons in web app (press button once to set CC, press again to release CC to zero).

• LED fade for knobs.

• 5-second hold option for putting NM2 to sleep in web app (default is 10-second hold).

…plus some MIDI stability improvements and bug fixes.

We’ll be working on another NM2 update throughout the Spring, so don’t forget to voice any feature requests you may have 👽✨
