DESCRIPTION

Processed is designed for real-time use, to transform and beautify a live audio input (or pre-recorded samples) via processing, looping, pitch shifting and layering.

I created this ensemble to process my harp playing; to build thick, fluid, glitched and evolving walls of sound from a single, pure sound source. It sounds glitchy, due to the granular pitch shifting. I love it like that, if you cringe at the sound of digital artifacts, this ensemble might not be for you...

You just play a dry signal into it and out comes (hopefully) thick, lush sound. For me, it sounds best with slow melodic/harmonic sound sources, rather than rhythmic source material. That said, do whatever you want, this is the whole point of sharing this ensemble.

Has a switchable Stereo-Out mode for live use or 16-Outs mode for multitracking to your DAW.

Fully documented, 15-page PDF manual included.

v1.1 update - smoothing added to loopers to reduce clicks, tremolo made less woozy, 1.5 beat option added to loop lengths

10 years of on/off Reaktor tinkering has gone into this ensemble, plus my new album was created entirely with this ensemble.

Thanks for letting me know! I sounded like an ungrateful jerk and I apologize for that. Just rediscovered this ensemble, you really nailed it man. Thanks again

Yo @Damon, sorry, i just have no idea how to tempo sync the delay! BTW, everything is just stock Reaktor 4 or 5 modules under the hood FX wise, if i remember right i think the delay was hacked straight from Fusion Reflections or BanaanElectrique. Putting 3 delays reverbs on the same signal is what gets this sounding nice. yay, k!

Why are so many Reaktor ensembles not tempo sync'd to DAWs? It's such a basic thing and without the ability to change the tempo the delay portion is utterly useless. It's a shame because this is one of the best delay effects I've ever heard.

Excellent thank you very much - it looks like a lot of possibilities once I get my head around it.

We should establish a design-prize for all the ens/isms presented in this club. I bet this contribution would be the award winning no. 1 for a long long time...:D I also listened to snippets of your music, Kris. Hats off! And concerning the vast possibilities of "processed": It will be a default installation in all the templates I use for my work. Thank you so much! And keep it harping down under...

@Ryan, there's a page in the manual that comes in the download dedicated to getting to work with Ableton. hopefully that will help! Good luck!

@Nick > Sweet idea to put it on an FX send. That never even crossed my mind, I always use it as the sole instrument in my setup. This is exactly why the Reaktor User Library is so good. Sharing rules!

A thing of beauty. I just used this in Ableton (@Ryan Collings: replace the reverb on SEND A with Reaktor, via Plug-ins/VST/Reaktor 5/6 Effects then load Processed.ens) using a marimba sample. WOW. Trippy and hypnotic and very like a Steve Reich piece. Lovely work @Kris Keogh! Thank you.
