Beatslicer is a creative loop rearranger. Simply load in any percussive loop or audio file, press the Slice button, and Beatslicer will split up the loop into individual hits. Each hit is mapped to a MIDI key, and Beatslicer gives independent control over pitch, reverse, filter, effect send, and more for each note.

Native Instruments is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the User Library, where now more than 1000 user ensembles can be found. As a small thank-you to all registered REAKTOR users, NI offers "oki computer" by Timothy Lamb - a "retro computer sound emulator" - for free download.

Oki computer is a synthesizer that specializes in retro computer gurgles, burps, and splatters. But it's also quite talented at squelchy basslines and pattering rhythms.
The heart of oki computer is a sample oscillator that can smoothly morph between different oscillator shapes. Three multi-stage envelopes and an integrated note-triggered sequencer control the most important parameters. An 8-bit degrader and chorus add authenticity and depth.

The Reaktor "6-REV" Stereo-Reverb from Martijn Zwartjes and NI offers high quality reverbs in a compact dual-diffusor ensemble with predelay-, early diffusor-, late diffusor- and output filter-module. Each module can be bypassed to save CPU, early and late diffusor can be switched serial or parallel for higher flexibility. 32 Presets are included, and the CPU usage should be very low.

Building on the foundation its previous incarnation, Matrix Modular 3 is an extremely flexible synthesizer featuring the Grain Cloud module (controlled by two XY controls), integrated sequencers and a 16x16 modulation matrix. Matrix Modular also sports an oscillator with drawable waveforms, array sequencers with drawable sequences, step sequencer, noise generator, ring modulator, delay, distortion, pitch shifting, and envelopes. All modules can be linked freely via the matrix buttons.

Newscool is a rhythm machine that takes advantage of the new event table and bitmap modules. Newscool consists of three instruments:
- A four-channel sequencer with 16 banks / songs, 128 patterns per bank/ song
- An analogue four-channel rhythm synthesizer with four Tri FM Oscillators
- A multichannel grain delay

Built around the new event table modules for sequencing, Obvious 101 is a totally new groovebox with lead synth, bass synth, and drum synth. Provides pure analogue sound.

The Travelizer is a Granular Cloud Synthesizer that lets you “travel” through your sounds and gives you powerful tools to manipulate your samples. Travelizer is based on the Grain Cloud module and uses loads of XY controls for instant access to all parameters.

The Virtuator is a synthesizer with three oscillators, madulation matrix and XY control. Oscillator 1 lets you draw your own waveforms, Oscillator 2 employs wavetable synthesis, and Oscillator 3 features virtual analogue technology.

Eight sequencers control pitch and other parameters of a Grain Cloud module. A pattern controlled filter and dualband delay fx help create the atmosphere. Good for soundscapes, noise, and loop destruction.

Do you remember the amiga software called sonix, where you could draw your own waveform? This synth has 2 drawable oscillators and 2 resonant multimode filters. Good for soft-digital 80s sounds.
