rex_in.fx (on acid) v1.0
By Pablo Manzarek
rex.in.fx remix
My Modification of the classic rex in fx
some parameters can now be tweaked snapshots can be saved and I added a pitch shifter,
adjustable stutterer, randomized pitch/stutter, echo cut, delay cut, rythmic gate, record stop,
and time stretch (borrowed lots from Toxonic Glitch). BTW this bastard is a cpu hog. Enjoy!
Note: hitting randomize causes gui changes and general weirdness (not advisable).

Very Simple Grainer 02 v1.0
By Peter Dines
Simple, usable, customizable granular synth
A new and improved version of the Very Simple Grainer, with some new features,
fixes and a couple of new samples.
I've moved controls around, added the very nice sounding Core saturator that comes with Reaktor 5,
added LFOs to the grain size and speed parameters, and fine tuned a couple of other things.
The idea is to have a simple and usable instrument that's easy to customize, doesn't use excessive CPU
and isn't full of unnecessary cruft like processor intensive reverb (you know the one I mean).
There's a short screencast with sound here:

Synthesizers
DotCom 44 v1.0
By Chet Singer
Tribute to synthesizers.com modular systems
I’ve always admired classically-styled modular instruments, particularly the ones sold by synthesizers.com.
But my aversion to having to tear apart a cool-sounding patch to create the next one
ensures that I’m unlikely to ever buy a true patchable analog modular.
So, here’s a modular synthesizer for Reaktor, based on modules available from synthesizer.com.
It’s designed to fit in a 44-module walnut cabinet.
A few of the modules are modified or enhanced to suit my whims.
The modules included are:
1 MIDI Interface
1 Slew Limiter
1 Noise Source
6 Voltage-Controlled Oscillators
3 Voltage-Controlled Filters
2 8-Input Mixers
1 Sample/Hold
2 Control Voltage Processors
3 Voltage-Controlled Amplifiers
3 ADSR Envelope Generators
1 Fixed Filter Bank
1 Voltage-Controlled Pan/Xfade
1 Ring Modulator
1 Shaper
1 Voltage-Controlled Delay
1 Oscilloscope/Voltmeter
1 Stereo Output Mixer
1 Stereo Output Chorus
Module inputs are visualized as drop-down menus which display the available module outputs.
Modules don’t consume CPU cycles unless actually used.
The operating voltages mimic synthesizers.com modules.
For example, oscillator outputs swing between +5 and -5 volts,
and envelope generator peak voltages are +5 volts.
There are no LFOs. In the style of synthesizers.com instruments, oscillators double as LFOs.
Playing modes include polyphonic, monophonic legato, and monophonic retrigger.
Monophonic and polyphonic portamento are built into the pitch controller.
Four assignable MIDI busses are included.
Two extra mod matrix outputs are available (labeled Extra1 and Extra2)
so that two additional modules can be added to the system without having to modify the mod matrix.

PolyAdd v1.4
By Synthlord D
Polyphonic Additive Synth
This is an experiment to try and make a simple interface for a polyphonic additive synthesis.
The amplitude or level of each the 32 harmonic or partials can be drawn on the graph.
Also each can be de-tuned and each partial has its own envelope generator with ADSR settings in separate graphs.
Think of the graphs as sliders in a vertical row, each control in line with the harmonic at the top.
Additive synthesis makes some very complex sounds and is better suited to acoustic timbres.
Having individual envelope control and tuning for each partial does allow for considerably more tonal possibilities than subtractive synthesis.
It does take some experimentation and more thought about how a sound is constructed than typical subtractive sysnthesis as well.
The filter is not essential for a lot of the patches as filter type effects can be created using envelopes on upper harmonics.
Warning* it is a bit of a CPU hog and may cause problems on slower machines.
You can increase or decrease the number voices depending on CPU. I have it running with 8 voices at 45%

PolyAdd Lite v1.0
By Synthlord D
Additive Synth
Lower CPU version of my original PolyADD
additive synth. This one only uses half
the number of sine oscillators (16) and
half the number of additional modules.
It has reduced partial or harmonic capability but at least users with slower machines will be able to try it out.

You can load Skrewell snapshots.
- moderate lower sounds than Skrubiwell

FretKeys v1.0
By Bertrand Antolin
Realtime Monophonic Guitar To MIDI Converter
This is basically a stripped-down version of VoiceKeys (no Env Follower and flowing guess mode),
enhanced for guitar, also pitchbend is tracked using half-cycle zero-crossing measurement
instead of one-cycle like in VoiceKeys.
It actually needs a little wiring knowledge, since it's an instrument not ensemble,
so you need to connect several ports together.
First, load your favorite synth ensemble.
Then load this instrument into the synth ensemble, and switch your window view to the ensemble structure.
After that, assuming your guitar input is at port 1 at [Audio In] module (which can be different depending
on the audio card/iface or your audio card setting), connect the port together with both input ports on FretKeys
(InP and InG). And finally, switch to Panel view, and connect the MIDI In of your favorite synth to FretKeys.
