Reaktor 5 or lower
Instrument Sequencer

DESCRIPTION

for Reaktor 5 only!

this is a 4 voice, FM-based groovebox i created that feeds a delay effect taken from the R5 Factory Library effect "Lurker" (hence the menacing name - ooh, scary!). it is performance inspired, with a built-in snapshot system that allows storing/recalling/morphing and randomizing of snapshots from within the instrument panel, including the sequencer patterns.

Stalker uses both the A and B panels of the Stalker instrument:

the A panel contains the synthesizer panel, plus the snapshot controller. to the right, a basic outline of the ensemble is contained here describing how the differant parts are connected. also, note the 4-part modulation matrix, which allows the 6 sequencers (gate 1-4 + filter and delay mod) to modulate the 5 main synthesizer parameters. the destination selector allows you to choose the destination parameter plus the voice being modulated - modulation is displayed in the main synth voice controller.

the B panel contains the effects and sequencing section, and also contains the snapshot controller (identical to the one in panel A). the multimode filter is interesting in that it works either mono or polyphonic, with individual cutoff/resonance/filter-type and panning for each filter band. the Lurker effect works exactly as in the original Lurker, except it contains only 1 delay unit (stereo), and one modulation sequencer.

i hope someone gets some use out of this, despite its somewhat singular sound. it took me about a week of programming full time, stretched out over a 2 month period. note that the ensemble makes use of alot of the new modules in R5 - snap arrays, mouse-areas and poly/multi-displays, as well as a little bit of core (check the filter sequencer sine-shapers). please e-mail me or post here if you have any questions/comments/requests.

thanks go to Mike Daliot for his fascinating Lurker ensemble, which was (of course) the entire basis for this ensemble - excellent job as usual man!

thanks for downloading!

yeah, i know what your sayin, jo. i actually made a sequencer in R4 that randomized like that (using templates). in this ens the sequencer randomizes almost as an after-effect, since the tables saves with a snap array, and randomizing in this ensemble is just the basic snapshot randomizer feature of reaktor. honestly i should have random isolated the sequencer, but i didnt bother as im too lazy!

Just an idea - it would be nice if you could manage some zeroes being written to the sequencers when randomizing. This ways the resulting sequences would be a less full.

Definitely worth playing with. At first 'a bit' Huh? for the R5 novice (well, me) but I'm getting there. Wherever that is... like it lots!

thanks lou. i shoulda mentioned that all the time went to either various failed ideas and trying to get the synth multi-controller to work properly. using transparant overlays is tricky in R5 i realized since the order gets screwed up when you click on controls that are in a layer higher than the overlay.

thanks, you all are too nice! gabriel, i agree, for me the GUI is one of the most important aspects of the synth, determining both the initial reaction and continued interaction with the program.

really fantastic - Phil, I think you have to revise your opinion about people spending time on the GUI dont you ?
