USED REAKTOR ENSEMBLES

The sounds of REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS are based on the following REAKTOR ensembles:

Spiral has been newly developed for REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS. As a MIDI instrument, it makes no sound by itself but is used as a drone-like sequencer for other instruments. Its generative algorithms create fractal melodies and highly complex patterns. Spiral offers a high degree of control of all important parameters using the KORE 2 controller or KORE 2 PLAYER interface.

Taking full advantage of REAKTOR’s potential to create unique instruments, this synthesis machine offers a vast, unparalleled sonic palette ranging from beautiful soothing tones to dark, disturbing soundscapes. More than just a synthesizer, Metaphysical Function offers a truly engaging experience. Equipped with several effect units, its main concept is to constantly alter the level of parallel oscillators to create inspiring soundscapes.

Newscool is a REAKTOR classic with an innovative sequencer and characteristic sound engine consisting of a tone generator and a multi-effect unit. Eight parallel oscillator units are modulated extensively, producing a signal to which effects are added. The sequencer is based on the "Life" cellular automation game developed by mathematician John Conway, and enables highly organic evolution of patterns and events.

Space Drone generates atmospheric soundscapes ranging from light rain or howling wind noises to deep, uncanny space sounds. The instrument takes its power from the 96 parallel voices spread across the entire frequency spectrum. Each voice consists of a noise generator whose amplitude is shaped by an envelope, while a bandpass filter modifies its frequency content. A final panning section positions the signal in the stereo field.

Skrewell is an unusual sound generator whose output can range from meditative atmospheres to crackling harshness. Its engine uses eight parallel oscillator sections that integrate filters and delay feedback to blend everything into one complex signal. Skrewell is designed to be manipulated intuitively. Therefore, all important parameters have been mapped to the KORE 2 and KORE 2 PLAYER controls for fluid and fast interaction.
Please note:
With REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS you don't get access to the
individual ensembles, they are used in KORE 2 PLAYER / KORE 2 under the hood
to generate the included sounds. REAKTOR 5 users can download Spiral for
free via the Service Center.
