DESCRIPTION

c. 1990, After years of cold silence STELLA began intercepting signals of the unreal with her deep space feelers. A series of months vandalized by magnetic cross talk and polychrome Martian jargon from the deepest unknown filled her orbiting sound recorders. She's now playing them back to us.



STELLA is an interstellar drone synthesizer. She began life as an innocent experiment in GUI design based on an instrument built with bits and pieces from a variety of ensembles. That initial experiment failed, and she became the outlandish interface seen here. Over the top, definitely. One trick pony, no question. But she'll make some interesting soundscapes— if she enjoys your company. Be nice to her. She's always "listening."

This is insane, light years ahead and beyond our aural capabilities. I'm unable to express my awe.

Thanks! Very good work. It's easy to get good results quickly. I look for that in any instrument.

Utterly brilliant, hugely useable and a Reaktor ensemble work of art. Brice, you make the best toys, amazing work.

I know this is a Drone, but i wish it was easier to make Pad sounds with it too. Also this could use more deep-bass sound. most of it is rather screamy. but very good effort nonetheless

Amazing ensemble! Though where does the sample map come in? Changing the content of it doesn't yield any results - at least what I can hear when setting it to wavetable - which is the way or?What is the process here actually? :) Thanks again! This is a classic!

I love the unique look for Blocks. Wow, reminds me of a pricey Hive/Falcon esque which I don't own so this is a very nice Synth for my collection. Constructive feedback, is there a way to label the knob above the large WAV Type knob? That little blue bugger. I could see the Community wanting to skin and change up colors on this amazing piece of Art. It really is fabulous, One of my top 5 Blocks creations for sure. Bravo!

Arthur, upload your Reaktor to the newest version 6.1.1 and load the 66 snapshots in instrument NOT in ensemble section. Then all is fine.

Oh, another question to Paule: Please gimme a hint, I´m too thick to get your snapshots to work. Thanks!

Wonderful appearance, bewitching voice, fascinating facettes and not very easy to understand: Stella, 100% a woman and space-girl from tomorrow. Don´t know whay she reminds me a bit of Ellen Ripley...;.-D
