Reaktor Session Instruments
Synthesizers
The Reaktor Session library offers a world-renowned collection of synthesizers, from analog-modelling to FM, from wavetable to additive. Each synthesizer includes many presets for an astonishing range of sounds right out of the box. The fourth-generation DSP algorithms of the REAKTOR 4 engine ensure that the sound quality is exceptionally bright, warm, and clear.
Samplers and Transformers
The sampler and transformers included in Reaktor Session range from quick and convenient sampling to full granular workouts. Resynthesis instruments vary speed, pitch, and formant independently, and can even freeze the sound in time. Samples can easily be loaded via drag and drop from the integrated browser into a comfortable, graphical sample mapper.
Live Performance and Sequencers
Reaktor Session, with configurable MIDI control and latencies significantly lower than most hardware devices (with a high-performance ASIO or Core Audio soundcard), is an excellent tool for performing live. Naturally any of the included synthesizers, samplers, or effects can be played live, but a number of dedicated live performance tools are also included.
Effects
Reaktor Session includes several studio-ready effects. Smooth reverbs, vintage delays, and an amp simulator provide good starting points for sound mixing and exploration. But Reaktor Sessionalso ventures into further territory, with granular freezing delays, vocoders, and more.
