DESCRIPTION

Originally I build this Patch to try out how far I could go with my CPU ( i7 4770K @ 4.3 Ghz ) .
So I started from scratch and added Module after Module and tryed to connect everything in the most flexible Way.
As the result I ended up with this Beast :)
Now it is really on "The Edge" of what my CPU can handle.

Take care of your CPU Temperature !It might overheat !

I hope you can do something with it.
At first glance it looks very complicated but if you look closer you may find out that it is quite easy to use.Every Knob is labeled and has a short Hint of what it is doing.So turn the INFO on.It has a quite complex Modulation Matrix .
Feel free to expand it and make your own connections !
---------------------------------------------
Thanks to Colugo for his WaveBox upload.
I made some Mods to reduce the CPU consume of it. I hope you will forgive me.
---------------------------------------------
The External Signal Processor is
from the MS 20 upload .Big hug to its Builders.
---------------------------------------------
The Marble Noise Generator is from
Matthew Friedrichs
---------------------------------------------
The Super Oscillator is from
Matthias Schaffner
Big thumbs up
---------------------------------------------
So I hope you will have as much Fun with this Beast as i had building and exploring it.
Cheers and greetings from Portugal.

Compiled with Reaktor 6.3
You will have no FPP but all connections are saved in the Snapshot.

Version 1.1
some small Bug fixes:
The Mod A-> B Knobs did not worked as expected. -fixed

Wave table Osc. error: miising files.Should not happpen any more(Wave tables in the Snapshots deleted).

A new Snapshot.

Version 2.0
Big update
There are too many things to mention it all so only
the most important :
A new Supersaw Oscillator
A new mixer in the Filterbank which enhances the Sound very much.
Much more brighter and clearer sound.
Enhanced Modulation Matrix.
Some new Knobs and a better UI.


Version 2.1
Filterbank modulation matrix enhanced and much better visual feedback.
Some more useful knobs and connections.

Version 3.0
To use the snapshots you will need the Wavetables which are in the Zip file.
You must find them with Reaktors File broswer.Drag and drop do not work here.The Demos are made with a single Instance and directly recorded in Reaktor.
Added:
------------------------------------------
Now with 8 Outputs, one for each Filter:

Out 1:Final Output
Out 2:Paul Filter
Out 3:Monark Filter
Out 4:SKF Filter
Out 5:Comb Filter
Out 6:Kodiak Morph Filter Mix
Out 7:SVF Filter Mix
Out 8:Pitch shifter

So you have a much better control in your DAW over the different Filters and you can add externel effects and so on.
I recommend you to put in your DAW for every Output as first thing a Filter to cut out low frequencies below about 20 Hz !
------------------------------------------
Pitch shifter Block
Some new functions
New Snapshots
Better UI

Lower CPU demand,better Sound quality.

Version 4.0
Reaktor Vers. 6.4.3.0
Some Bug fixes and more internal connections.
Just leave you with a few Snapshots because after new connections most of them are broken,but you still have a good starting point.

Works lovely on my i7. Most presets start around 39%, but once you start turning things on, it does start to bump up there! Appreciate the soft open, instead of an insta-crash requiring sample-rate reducts. Great sound potentials Thanks!

Hello Scott, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately I don't own a komplete kontrol and so i can not answer this question. Maybe some of the users who downloaded this patch have one and will be so kind to share their experience. I'm personally using an aged Midi controller. So some of the knobs i did midi learn and it's fine for me. I wish you all the best and have a great day.

Thanks for the setup! Wanted something to test my new CPU out. Testing it now... My current project is already around 30% ASIO. With this running, it bumps it up to ~70% usage. OS: Windows 10 Professional DAW: Cubase 10.0.40 SETUP: 48kHz 32-bit float @ 1024 sample buffer CPU: i9 9900X @ 4.4GHz

Been listening to different blocks and ens for hours. This is the first one that is truly truly amazing. I'd give this thing 10 stars if I could.. Killer job

Well, I build this one to check out the limits and I don't think that there will be a way to make a light version. I just did anything to save CPU that I could, the only thing I can think of is to upgrade the hardware....

Loved your sound demo. Wanted some of that, but, like many other posters, this ensemble eats my old Mac's CPU for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Is it possible to render a 'light CPU' version? I tried myself to effect this, but after removing quite a few modules I was still not preventing the Overload message. Sad to say.

Still sounds cool with a much lower sample rate, thanks!

Big cool looking synth... My five year old MacBook will be giving it a miss though :-)

Looks fantastic, but you're right about the CPU, my i7 6500U just shrugs and says NAH mate, not on my watch.

Hey Greg ,sorry for this error ,it must be the missing Wavetables used in the Snapshots of the Wavetable Oscillator. I think You just have to click the delete Button on the wavetable Osc. and drop some sample on it. Thanks for Your reply.

this looks great. I get this error when I load it though: "12 audio sample files were skipped and remain missing."
