DESCRIPTION

4 part granular drum sample player with FX.

Sequencers now have 32 steps! All the same random/modulated playback functions but also a revers play button now.

Each drum voice has a Filter, overdrive, resonator, 6 LFOs and a 12 slot matrix for modulation. Resonator now has a harmonic control that adds overtones and potentially painful screaming feedback. Can also be quantised to whole tones meaning you could potential get some gnarly melodies out of the thing if you have the patience.

All v1.4 changes

1. 32 step sequences + reverse play

2. Updated Resonator

3. New Delay FX and Slightly better reverb

4. More modulation options.

5. New samples, change them if you don't like them!

6. Probably loads of other bits I've forgotten from v1.2 and 1.3 that I didn't publish!

As previously, if you do something cool with this I'd really love to hear it, I am Negative Neutron on Instagram, Threads, Soundcloud and Bandcamp.

@Greif_Stew. That is thoroughly excellent behaviour, I've been doing the same myself in venues I work in!

I should add that this error does not occur for me in version 1_1. The missing samples correspond to Bb0 to C#1.

Sure thing. (I love this ensemble, by the way). When I open it, I get the "some external samples cannot be found" error. It points to the sample: /Users/.../Audio Files/BS101.wav

Hey @Greif_Stew. I've had a look through and all the samples are embedded in the ensemble so that shouldn't be possible? It could be that it's possible to push the sample select number beyond the mapped samples in a way I've not noticed. Could you give me some more info on your problem?

One of the samples is missing inside the ensemble.

Hey Andy, thanks for that. There are randomisation functions in the snapshots, the majority of parameters are included so there should be plenty of random fun to be had. If has trouble before with the random functions breaking my ensembles or at least tuning off things that make them not make sound (like turning off all gates or volumes right down) so some things are taken out of the snapshot randomisation for safety.

Pretty mental! I'll have to sit down and figure out what everything does. Great work!

@Shane Newville I've been working on reducing the CPU usage, will be posting an update in the next week or so.

This thing is super cool but it keeps stopping my daw from overloads. Computer not strong enough

Love this. Although it really needs a randomise all button for extra carnage.

Hi Bruno. I don't think I'm going to have time to write a proper manual for this, I'm just some guy who messes about in Reaktor and not really a professional. If you have specific questions please ask, I'd also suggest starting with the blank patch and building up something from nothing, hopefully that will make it easier to keep track of what's going on.

Love this! However very complex, any chance for a manual or tutorial video?
