I love the tools that help push sound design quickly and efficiently. If you are into braindance, idm, techno or other electronic music with experimental layers integrated, the integrated randomization functions easily create these layers on the fly, and are very interesting sounding in the vain of Autechre, Funckarma, Phoenicia. They do have this new and unique « spice » that makes my final work sound incredibly original. Recently I discovered RUIDOZ and decided to get around its original function as a beatmaking box, but instead I recorded bits, time-stretched them and thought it perfectly matched what I was looking for. I also use them, when I am looking for inspiration or interesting new sounds when designing a sample library. Substanz, Aetonz and Ruidoz are always present when performing live with my Qebo act. I simply love the endless rhythmic possibilities it has to offer! They are cleverly designed, effective and super fun to use. A great addition to any creative studio! I wanted to play with them and in 5 mins had a great new idea running already!

The level of detail and programming that has gone into these far outweighs the minimal cost too. The immediacy of Blinksonic instruments is a joy.

March 16, August 26, February 15, With a few twists and turns of parameters you find yourself entering a pattern you would probably never have anticipated developing. The entire musical process is available at your hands with all the techniques ideal for live performance. On top of being one of our early supporters, Matt recently drew our attention to his use…. Define individual tempo signature and rhythmic rules….

Big ups to Brent for this great video introduction to the ensemble. The cool thing about NOD-E is it can sound like anything – you can route the MIDI data to other plugins, even to hardware synths – or record and edit the sequence in a sequencer. The nodes are propelled throughout the XY field by two polyphonic LFOs (one for each axis). Movement along the X-axis triggers notes movement along the Y-axis determines the triggered note’s velocity (in other words, a note that is triggered at a high Y-value will play more loudly than one that is triggered at a low value. In NOD-E, 8 nodes travel around an XY-field and trigger notes when they cross certain boundaries (defined by you). You might think of NOD-E as the sequencer that you get when the nodes in Spiral reach escape velocity and break out of orbit. In this video, Brent Kallmer of BluewaterVST takes us through the wonderful NOD-E ensemble by Antonio Blanca, an algorithmic music machine that generates MIDI note data based on the positions of nodes moving on the instrument panel.

The versatility of these two delays allows you to transform audio (from either Lurker’s sampler or from an external source) into everything from rhythmically precise textures to trippy comb-filtered psychedelia.Įnjoy the video, and when you want to try Lurker yourself, it’s right there in the Factory tab of your Reaktor browser sidebar. It uses a complex and powerful modulation sequencing system to control various parameters on two independent delay units. Lurker is one of REAKTOR’s most beguiling effects-and also one of its most inscrutable. This is nuts since Reaktor 5 was released in 2005! Brent is doing a fantastic job documenting and exposing wonderful factory ensembles that were, truth be told, sort of unceremoniously dumped on the world with little fanfare or explanation. I was pondering recently how Reaktor 5 was so far ahead of its time that people are only catching up to it now. Brent Kallmer is back with one of his great explorations of an under-appreciated Reaktor factory library classic.
