DESCRIPTION

Breath is a Synthesizer with two oscillators, which is able to do some basic Ring- and Frequencymodulation.
I started with the Noise-oscillator to make windsounds and gave the ensemble the name breath, but after a while I changed the Synth completly, but the name remains.
Most effects are taken from other Ensembles of the reaktorlibrary and are slightly changed.

New in the update:
- Arpeggiator (taken from the Macrosection)
- More Snapshots
- A Filter with LFO-modulated Cutoff for each voice separately
- Correction of some minor bugs

Whish you a lot of fun !
Tips and ideas to improve this Synth are welcomed.

The snaps have tons of personality. Nice work! Also cool GUI.

Hi Clide, I'm using a PC with a 2,14 GHz Intel Core 2 and depending on the snapshot I need 15-22% CPU. The Delay and the Reverb are using a lot of CPU Power, by turning them off you can save a lot. And not for all Snapshots are 5 Voices really necessary. As a sequencer I'm using Ableton Live and it is possible for me to run 5 Instances of Breath at the same time with CPU-Power at 66%. Maybe this will help. Nevertheless I will try to reduce CPU-Power in coming Synthesizers. :)

Glad you had good feedback on this, it is a thick sounding synth. Unfortunately to me personally, it's not good enough to try and run at 35-40% CPU (On a 2.2ghz core 2 duo Macbook Pro!)

Unfortunatly the new version is using more CPU-power. But I could not resist to implement some new features. Have fun !

Thx for your positive coments, Jonathan and Chris. At the moment I'm trying to improve the "Resonid" and make more snapshots for this Synth, but after that "breath" will get a full snapshot-bank!

I have to add that i really love that one, it's so versatile and has such a nice and lovely character. I'd LOVE to see more snaps demonstrating what this lil' masterpiece is able to do even i don't see a need for an arp ;-)
