Recommend me some ensembles for whole loops/finished songs?

Idk, buffer effects, resonators, sequencers, anything that works well with either full loops in a sample map or incoming audio?

I find it so relaxing running my finished tunes into effects that output new remixes (no matter how messed up they get - in fact the more abstract the better.


thanks !

 

One of my favourites is a very old ensemble called Black Rectangles. I don't think it's available any more (?), but there is a mod of it in the UL called Grauer Star II.

 

Attached john's file and pdf from May 2004

 

If you like slicing and FX tools try these...

nice one, thanks.

Do I like slicing n fx? yeah if done well. I enjoy buffer rearrange my tracks into something else, some have been having some quite good results. Then writing tracks specifically for the re-arrange process.

 

Thanks Paule... wasn't sure about redistributing someone's work that isn't in the UL, but I guess John is long-gone

Another instrument is SwanSong. Johns last Reaktor 4 product from June 2004.
(L) left split and (R) right split in the readme is today (L) low split and (H) high split in the actual Reaktor map. The font in the readme is another joke of him.
And always a chosen bug at important place: Button ›Force All‹ set range on value to 1 in properties (he set it to zero).
I got good results on 128 voices using a map containing 128 samples.

 

got both of them from this forum in 2011 - don't know any link
Yesterday I create a sample map based on SwanSong 1. You will find it in folder 017 Ambient Carpet Ride: LP-ACR-STS 24-SwanSong_001.map

Ahhhh, thanks. Swan Song was another one i was thinking of, but couldn't recall the name.

 

I like using Grain States with drum loops. If you get the settings right you can get some really interesting rhythmic effects

 

There is FLOWs a free download from Tim Exile's home page. And in it much grooves. If you build a map feed SwanSong you got it.

 

Ah i didnt know about FLOWs, I like Tims approach.

I dont know enough about how it works but flesh which sent out midi or cv would be my ideal instrument. I looked under the hood and didnt get very far

 

With FLOWs comes a lot of sample grooves. Built a map and feed SwanSong. That's what I prefer.
FLOWs have a capacity of 700 mb.
In Pandora 14.3 is colugo _s Grain Freeze integrated now.

 

Did you have a look at FastFX that comes with the Reaktor factory-content? You can use a sample-player for playing loops or feed in direct audio.

 

Wow, this thing is incredible. I wish I could figure out how to load sample into the slots and also have them be part of the same sample map. So far unsuccessful there... Any tips on this by chace? I have read the instructions but every time I load a new sample, it creates a brand new sample map for it.

 

Greg, take first Swan Song. It's easier to handle. There is one grainer only. If your computer have enough ram loud a map with 128 samples and set voices to 128 like john wrote in his manual. Obey the chosen bug I point in my post.

 

thanks Paule! I'll give it a try. Hoping the algorithms are the same!

 

Black Rectangle seems to work fine just saving the ensemble with the loaded samples embedded. Swan Song snapshots don't seem to save settings so the results are repeatable, but with this kind of ensemble, its kinda hard to tell
