Adlais Snaps+NanoWave rack ensemble
by David Coffin
1.1.2 Update: Added a newer version of Adlais 1.1.2 (NOT the most current), and three factory LFOs linked to Adlais controls via IC Sends, plus a lot of new Master-level snaps, and suggest bpm of 72.5 as a good compromise rate for all snaps—certainly advise trying many other settings, of course, as well as different synths, IC connections, etc.
—————————————————
Wow, LOVING this new sequencer from David Elson and Brett Lavallee, so I made some snaps for it based on the excellent original set of 14. I first set this up running non-Reaktor synths via Reaktor's external MIDI, but soon switched back to all Reaktor, where I eventually hit upon the combo featured here: Adlais to NanoWave into FlatBlaster, which I found so interesting I decided to upload it as the wrapping for my snaps (which can of course be saved out and inserted into Adlais all by itself—and which will hopefully still work in future versions, which I gather we're to expect:), so the package also includes a set of Master snaps for that trio, which is also where the first two demo mp3s come from. I always set snaps to follow the active (clicked) instrument, in which setup you simply click the ensemble background to see and select the Master snaps. The final demo is an example of Adlais driving an AU plugin running inside Logic (the fabulous Diversion), which also has its internal arpeggiator running, just another little bit of serendipity, like discovering that really low BPM can be very satisfying with Adlais, hence the used bpm info in the Master snap names… The other point worth making, I think, is that Adlais is very much a performance device, rewarding manual as well as automated changes, even very small ones, to all the controls, not just the ones that can be automated. I found that just bumping up one or two offset controls by a single notch or two on a simple running pattern really powerful. And then I tried changing the Length number on the Mute Seq while the thing was running! In some cases, especially when running very slowly, whoa! Instant note flurries, for who knows what reason, very handy!

WAYOVOC v1.1
by Malte Klima
This synthesizer based on SCANNER SYNTH I made before. But the first one was much to complex for many computers, but I like the idea behind. So I removed two rows of blocks and add/change some other blocks. Now it needs less then the half of CPU power and still sounds good. Thanks to the builders of the blocks I used in this patch.

Orange Grains updated
by Jim Hurley
This is an update for Orange Grains by Florian Erdle.
I have used this a lot, and I think it should be re-introduced to the Reaktor community as it is quite old.
There are few changes:
1) The mono input has been converted to stereo and then summed to mono internally.
2) A Dry/Wet mixing knob was added.
3) The internal test player was removed.
4) Quite a lot of simplifications and re-arrangements were made.
5) a few presets were added.
The sonic output should be similar for mono inputs, for stereo, the other channel is used as well.

White Grains updated for R6
by Jim Hurley
White grains is one of those classics that never gets old.
However, it appears to suffer a bit in appearance in Reaktor 6.
So I did a minor facelift to make it look better and to re-introduce this for newcomers.
There are no inner changes to the ensemble, just a graphics re-layout.
The B view is a short tutorial.
The original version is available here:

NO SEQ w/ SEQ (Adlais+LFOs)
by David Coffin
Much as I've been loving NO SEQ SYNTH, I'd never actually tried the SEQ version, but on my way to doing that, I decided to just drop the lovely recent Klee-Thing, Adlais into it, so I could take advantage of all the recent snap banks it already has…and then I thought I'd see if anything in that holy matrimony could benefit from some un-orthodox shaking up, so I dragged in a couple of IC-sending factory LFOs I'm fond of…liked it! (So far, only hooked up to Adlais, but many other delights await…)
So, here's yet anther bank of snaps, carefully selected from the existing ones to work…interestingly…with the new seq/modwheel. Of course, it would behoove to just check out all the previous snaps with seq running… Malte, you've created a sweet, sweet monster, thank you! And to JT for exposing yet more of it [bowing].
