Beatrix Radio
A "Radio Frequency Oscillator" for Reaktor
DESCRIPTION
Made with the K-Tech 'Beatrix' sample mangler and a number of other modules; this is a sound generator that can range in function anywhere from a gently randomized sample launcher, to a madness inducing glitch machine.
It consists of the Beatrix, with its default musical samples for a "Radio" feel. These are processed by Sandy Small's 'Scatter' which can turn any sound into a binary drone of grains. Next, the signal runs through the Rounds delay, and the Metaverb Red, which has a convenient bit crushing effect for further distortion.
The signal then reaches the Tape Machine effect. This is a compilation of user library effects, including a preamp and a warp/ flutter effect, both of which I have rebuilt in core. It also includes a compressor which is very useful for evening out the sound between different samples. Lastly, it has an exciter and a limiter.
When the signal leaves the tape machine it is processed by a dual filter, and then a final output module, where it can have its stereo width modulated. A Quad LFO is provided for the ensemble's main modulation source.
90 Snapshots are included, divided into three categories: Radio, Horror, and Glitch.
