Product Overview

Very few fundamentally new synthesis methods have emerged in the past twenty years. FM, granular, wavetable, physical modeling of hitting and bowing things, the paradigms were established by the early 90s and many worked out by the 70s. Since then, most "new" plugins are refinements, combinations, better interfaces, or indexes of existing ideas.

FOAM is an attempt at opening new territory.

Bubble acoustics is one of the most sonically rich phenomena in nature and one of the least explored in synthesis. The physics are well-documented but undertheorized as a sound source, probably because the behavior is so chaotic and noisy that nobody has chosen to model it in real-time as an instrument.

But noise isn't opposed to signal it's the condition for signal to exist, like air or water or bone is the condition for our ear to receive compression. Foams are connected yet isolated, neighbors without merging.The multiplicity of it all is what's interesting.

The sound of a wave receding is not five or ten things. It's thousands of bubble simultaneous interactions across a wide range of behaviors whose aggregate creates the sonic richness of the texture. FOAM implements much of this physics directly. Not samples. but actual acoustic modeling of what happens when gas meets liquid, from the initial film rupture through cavity resonance to viscous damping.

It is a complex tool, and we recommend using it with automation curves for maximum detail and morphology. It is also a really fun performance synth you can play with MPE or drive with a modular setup.

Features

- Full MPE Support: Per-note pitch bend, slide, and pressure for expressive control over bubble size, pitch sweep, ring time, emission rate, and amplitude.
- GPU-Accelerated Visualization: Real-time display of bubble populations, density, and spectral content.
- MIDI Learn: Right-click any parameter to assign CC control.
- OSC Output: Stream bubble events to external applications for synchronized visuals or data sonification.
- Preset System: Save and recall configurations. Preseeded with statistically distinct timbres, not bespoke ideas. It's an open terrain for your own exploration.

How It Works

NOMN - FOAM - How It Works

Each bubble is a physics equation, not a recording or grains.

FOAM models 11+ distinct acoustic stages of a bubble's life, from the initial membrane rupture through resonance, collapse, and decay. Each stage is governed by its own physical behavior, and every parameter maps to real-time fluid dynamics calculations.

Every parameter feeds the acoustic formulas live. Turn up viscosity and the math changes: small bubbles die fast and large ones ring longer in thick liquids, as they do in nature.

At peak density, thousands of synth voices render simultaneously across multiple CPU cores, producing textures with a level of temporal detail that simply isn't
possible to similarly shape for creative use with sample manipulation or wavetable synthesis.

The Engine

Up to 16,384 simultaneous voices with cascade modeling, where parent bubbles trigger chains of interacting child bubbles. A configurable CPU governor lets you set the ceiling for voice density — open it up fully on modern hardware, or dial it back in dense sessions. Population dynamics create collective frequency shifts as density increases, and the transition from discrete pops to continuous foam/noise texture emerges naturally from the sheer number of independent physical interactions.

The range runs from single droplets to dense rafts. From water to honey to mercury. From delicate rainy sounds to walls of noise. Almost realistic rivers if you want them. Total textural exploration if you don't, with fantasy-sized bubbles that might also give you a kick or sub-bass if you can find it.
