SYNTHESIS






Emu modular reinterperted -by Brian English (explanation coming soon)

download Reaktor 5 ensemble





Bassy Bassdrum - A midi trigger-able instrument using sine waves to create ass shaking gangster bass.  Use velocity to control pitch and sustained keyboard to create melodic bass drum patterns

Impulse patterns - Borrowing a technique from Autechre, I used an impulse wave oscillator (basically a repeating click) to sync its cycles per second to the master BPM/tempo clock. You can use a mouse draw-able automation lane to control the rate of the oscillator as well. Even if you go to 50 hz and back down to the base bpm hz it will resync itself up to the tempo. Used for making synthesizer beats turn into melodies and vice versa. Based on the afextwinerizer.

SEQUENCED SAMPLING


Squarepusherizer - Take a 1 bar, 2 bar, or even a 4 bar drum loop and this patch will divide your loop into 16 or 8 equal parts. Using a sequencer to retrigger your loop it will create drum & bass-like irregular break beat patterns. You can also create glitch & ragga-jungle type sounds by time stretching and pitch draw-able automation lanes.

Afextwinerizer - Load your own samples or use the 60 that come with this ensemble. It can be used for two seperate purposes. One is to make bouncing ball type patterns that are controlled with an LFO synced with the master bpm clock. The other is to use an sine LFO or random LFO to control which sample you are hearing, enabling you to make strange and generative drum patterns.

Scratch sequencer
Very early version based off a Reaktor 3 module called "Scratch". This utilizes  an experimental/random or straight sequencer pattern to scrub a wave file. Along with a seperate midi gate filter it can sound pretty realistic.

EFFECTS





Beatboxer -  Incoming live audio is detected for bassdrum-like, hi-hat-like, or snaredrum like properties. When these characteristics match they are replaced by sampled Bassdrums, hi-hats, and snaredrums of your choosing (many samples are included).  Designed for a vocalist or beat boxer to speak into the microphone and hear their mouth percussion turn into electronic drums or break beats in real-time. Another interesting feature is to use it as an insert effect. By putting breakbeat loops through it for instance, you can achieve a sort of bass drum replacement. Good for hip hop music where you want an extra synthesizer bass hit along with your sampled drum loop

FX switcher by Brian English - Incoming audio is rerouted to 6 different effects of different genres. A sequencer controls which effect it gets sent through. Imagine if GLITCH VST was customizable in terms of what type of effects you wanted to use.

Live Recycler - Incoming input is "trapped" in a wavetable sampler by detecting incoming percussive-like samples.  Every new consecutive incoming audio signal replaces the last. 
Can be used to beat slice and then sequence live incoming audio via midi gate. Tranposing pitch of slices chromatically can also be achieved by using different midi notes. 
Mainly used for live instruments or vocals, but can also have interesting results when used as an insert-effect. By making fast / rapid-fire midi patterns you can cause the live incoming audio to stutter akin to some of the Squarepusher/Venetian Snares classic tracker time stretch effects. The quantization effect causes the stretching to have a rhythmic like quality

Drum Beat Delay -  This was the early concept for the Live Recycler. It was designed as a mono delay/echo unit. Instead of a feedback control, it utilizes a 16-step sequencer to control each tap. For instance if you made a 16-step sequence starting at the highest note to the lowest note, it would sound like a plain delay. The fun part is when you make distinct drum patterns using the tap sequencer. Every time a signal is put through the input it gets repeated using the sequence you created. Hitting "loop" traps the sequence and loops it . (Very basic Gui)

AUTOMATION




Humanizer -- Use to control any Reaktor patch, it sends random human live continuous movements values to any  automatable knob or fader. First you must click on the knobs properties, give it it's own unique Continuous Controller number, and check the  "control" box.

Random CC sequencer - Use to control any Reaktor patch, it sends random values to every automatable knob triggered on beat via a 16 step sequencer. First you must click on the knobs properties, give it it's own unique Continuous Controller number, and check the  "control" box.
*Update coming soon where it can be used with any patch even if no knobs are set for automation*

Ottovonschiracherizer - A hybrid of the afextwinerizer,  FX switcher, and Random cc sequencer. Random sample sequences are granulated, flanged, and put through reverb with a random switch. Every 16th note the knobs of all filters and sample gain parameters change to a random position

*meant for demonstration purposes only*
*About the gui: This is not meant to be a learning tool *yet*. It is messy, takes up over 10 screens even at a 1280x1024 resolution, and is not labeled in a easy to understand way. Eventually i will make it easier to comprehend what each device is doing, but until then i advise you download the individual components to pick apart what's going on.*
