Sequenced Effects/Gate
- 8-Step Sequencer for Effects
- MIDI-Clock works good, i recognized no problems when bouncing
- some feedback would be nice
- changed a lot in comparison to the other effect, which i will update soon...(MIDI-Clock, Steplength.. Crossfades etc..)
- you can substitute effects easy ..for example with the free buffeater one etc..

LiveBuffer v1.0
By santiago vilanova

1328354619_thumb_11383_livebuffer
 
Live input granular manipulation
This is a set of effects based mostly on the old Grain Cloud Delay, for manipulating live input in granular flavour.
There is a BeatRepeat, TimeStretch, MicroDelay, Delay, FilterRamps and some other experiments.
Instrument has been designed for live use, so a panel for Midi snapshot recall has been included in each of the instruments. There are lots of presets done, so you can start using this ready out of the box!

I'm not a straight edge reaktor programmer, so most of the structures are messy, and possibly unefficient.
Maybe it could be a great idea to substitute grainclouddelay with some of the newest core developments for this kind of granular manipulation...

L3V3LL3R-X3 v1.1
By Dan Worrall

1328444260_thumb_11399_L3V3LL3R-X
 
Meta-multiband version of the L3V3LL3R compressor
Multi-band compression using dynamic EQ.

The traditional way to build a multi-band compressor is to split the signal into the required number of bands (three in this case) using cross-over filters, then run each band through a separate compressor before mixing them back together again. This approach tends to cause phase problems around the cross-over frequencies, requiring sophisticated filter designs to minimize these effects.

L3V3LL3R-X3 takes a different approach: the signal is still split into three separate bands using cross-over filters, and these feed the side-chains of three separate L3V3LL3R style compressors. But the filtered signals are not mixed back together again: instead the gain modulation signals from all three compressors are matrixed into modulation signals for two dynamic shelving filters plus a gain stage.

To put it another way: while this ensemble behaves like a multi-band compressor, and allows you to solve many of the same problems, it is in actual fact a dynamic equaliser, and when it isn't doing anything, it really isn't doing anything.

The demo mp3 contains 8 bars of dry acoustic drums, then the same thing processed with fairly heavy compression from L3V3LL3R-X3

v1.1 update makes a slight change to the way the Solo in Place function works: Solo now works even if the band is turned off, so you can solo a band, then toggle the compression on and off to hear the difference in isolation.

force all pads (master box) selector changes all 16 sounds.
find your flavour of soundset with force all pads (master box) selector
then edit individual sounds

random pads (red buttom) change all pads random.
but non randompad buttom can lock the pads.
random pitch (blue buttom) change all pitch random +- 1 octave
but non randompitch buttom can lock the pitch of each pad.
the redblue buttome changes both at the same time.

remember to save snapshot
snapshot is totalrecall of sounds and rhythm

Sequencers

SilverbirdLive v1.0
By Andre Goc

1328288226_thumb_11377_Silverbird
 
Silverbird on a higher level
we decided to take Silverbird to a higher level.

Several ideas and improvements were translated into action in endless night sessions and we are
now very proud to present Silverbird Live!

Now you are able to use this ensemble to create and
perform clubmusic liveacts standalone.

Some of the new features are:

- completly revised sequencers, pattern-data is saved now 100% secure with the snapshots (really!)
- pattern sequencer for creating longer sequences
- six sampler / sequencer slots
- two additional play modes (backward / forward-backward)
- automatic break function, offers randomly created breaks after a definable number of bars
- eleven modulation sequencers with fixed targets
- send effects (reverb / delay)
- improved amp-envelopes
- live performance surface on the b-panel including the most important parameters for live situations !
- snapshot manager, allows changing snapshots after a definable number of bars
- three live performance effects
- tapedeck and dj-like mixer section for creating transitions between songs
- random function
- midi in / out
- copy / paste sequencer data
– repeater for stutter effects
-complete new sounddesign/ new Drumsamples


A detailed user manual in pdf-format, read this for more information about all functions of SBL !!!


Please note: due to the complexity of this instrument, loading takes several seconds...

Snapshots

Snaps for Aliasing Synth v1.1
By Joeri Van Hove

Various Snapshots for the magnificent Aliasing Synth
These snapshots were produced in 44100 Hz, so please switch your reaktor accordingly. Some of these snapshots can easily entertain me without effort for at least a few minutes. General noise soundscapes, but some can be tweak into mad risers or downers. Protect your gear, some can get loud, so no loud volumes without previewing!

Aurora v1.2
By Tuval Shiloah

1329601979_thumb_11471_Aurora_scr
 
Aurora Wavetable Synthesizer
Aurora is a versatile wavetable/VA synthesizer, with an easy to use interface, and full stereo path.


2 Wavetable oscillators, each containing 3 different banks of 100 different wave shapes - sum off 600 different wave shapes. FM.

2 VA oscillators with sin/tri/saw/square oscillators .FM,Sync

1 Noise Generator

FB unit, routable to get input signal from post filters or post FX points.

2 Filters LP/BP/HP/Comb routable in serial or parallel with saturation. Independent pan settings for filters in parallel mode, and Filter cross fade in serial mode(F1F2). Interesting routing options when in parallel mode using the oscillators Filter Select knob.

Chorus Effect

Delay Effect

Almost all parameters can be modulated, using the 2 Envelops, 3 LFOs and Step Sequencer or using the 2 Soft Knobs. Also available as modulation sources are Keytrack and Random. Setting the modulations source and amount is made easily for each parameter - with the modulation menus just under each knob.
Its all self explanatory with the INFO for each item.

MadBoxR v1.0
By Ben Howard

1330360040_thumb_11517_MADBOX
 
Noise Drone Thing
I took MadBox by Jo Anning and replaced the static coeffecients with (hidden) knobs and added a randoMizer by rachmiel and added 2 core oscillator's (by Herw and Benjamin Podding) in addition to the original one which you can pick with the Racket switch.


Hit the randoMize button to refresh the SOUND bank and slowly move through the SOUND knob to see what you got. Its like a slot machine.

SineBeats v2.1
By Joeri Van Hove

1328624151_thumb_11423_Sinebeats2
 
Specialized sine wave kick drum generator
This one-trick-pony is specifically designed to generate a frequency modulated sine wave kick. This kind of kick drums is heavily used in psytrance, progressive trance & minimal techno.
The 'B' Panel reveals a custom made audio shaper to add extra punch. Extreme values will result in heavy saturation. Hardcore kicks are possible as well.
I recommend sampling the kick you like and triggering it from a sampler, this allows more control over the tail amp envelope.
This is my first serious ensemble so maybe it lacks a bit in programming finesse, but on my system CPU load was below 5% and no glitches or strange behaviour at all (MacBook Pro). It's a basic tool but something I wanted to make for a long time. Enjoy!

-- update v1.1:
added extra shaper models to the Destroy macro. '1' & '3' are very suitable from kickdrums, '2' & '4' are a bit noisier, more experimental. If you like the 1 knob destroyer just lift it out and save it to your library.
-- update v2.1:
Oscillators are now synced, so kicks are consistent every time. This makes fine-tuning the transition between Attack & Tail much easier.
Added alternative Triangle & Square oscillators to create more variation or add slight distortion before the Destroy macro.
Optimized Destroy macro
Added new snapshot bank with 25 new kicks & more diversity in sound.
Added fancy background image.

Sneaker! v1.0
By Carsten Brück

1328403482_thumb_11395_UL-Pic
 
Synth with analog waveforms...
- experimental Synth with 3 oscillators , 2 offer analog waveforms.
- i think the strength of the synth are warm lead-sounds and experimental sequenced stuff...use the randomize-function ;-)
- Quick-Guide included..please read
- There is a bug in the Voice-Mode... if your switching too fast through the snapshots it happens often that a note off gets lost... i hope i can fix that if i find the time... so when you are zapping through the snapshots fast, don't turn the volume too loud
-you may use your own waves
