This....is....trippy.... Works fine as a plugin, but when run in standalone, it crashes on my Athlon 2800+ machine instantaneously. Still, it's groundbreaking and a ton 'o fun. Wish I could use it in standalone, though.

Excellent sounds, very organic feel. Would really like the option to disable the reverb [Reaktor Session user here, so can't tamper] as it's a bit muddy at times.

I'm still on snap number 1. I can't seem to move onto the next one. I'm afraid I might miss a good bit!

Look at all the comments! For such a simple synth. It's cool, that's why. It makes cool sounds, it's mezmerizing and fun, too!! Thanks. Make us some more, please.

Totally brilliant ... does EXACTLY what it says it does. Creepy and weird and endlessly unexpected - you can sit and listen to it for days. VERY PROCESSOR INTENSIVE (81%+ on G4/550) but incredibly engrossing and original.

The first random-generating Reaktor ensemble to send shivers down my spine .... inspiring.

Sounds fantastic.....set it running, sit back and imagine youre listening to an endlessly evolving version of Nurse With Wound's Soliloquy For Lilith album.

It's fantastic, Rick. Do you know that modern journalists call this kind of thing "spectral music" now? Is that a polite term for retro-modernism? Who knows?

Sounds like trombones on Uranus (if you'll pardon the expression!), a la Webern. Very neat! :-)

Another great creation. Mark, there is definitely something wrong with the way Reaktor 4 works in stand-alone mode on some Pentium machines. Ensembles with randomizers bring my 1.8gig/512mb machine to its knees in less than a second. These same ensembles work without so much as a hiccup in plug-in mode. Try aL2.0 as a plug-in and see if it works for you.

joe: that warms the cockles of my rarefied heart! :-) i spend a huge amount of time "tuning" my creations: adjusting the parameters/ranges so that they randomize a decent percentage of the time to *musical* results. also, i am a composer who has come to reaktor, not a technician. for me, the sound's the thing. :-)

mark: so sorry! i'm running an 800 mhz pentium, and it does just fine (runs at about 40% cpu). i wonder if it's ram? i'm using lots of long delays and very long smoothers, both of which, i believe, eat up gobs of ram. i have 512 mb. you?

Plays for about half a second before crashing... Pentium 1.7gig.
