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

around a cloaked man with bright white eyes' utilizing bassy

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.

fader. First you must click on the knobs properties, give it it's
own unique Continuous Controller number, and check the

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

*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.*
