PHOTONE - Hybrid Master Synthesizer
Photone is a complex and comprehensive synthesis workstation, opening a whole universe of contemporary synthesizer sounds and endless possibilities for sonic exploration. Its sounds range from basses, leads, pads, keyboard sounds, strings, stacks and chords all the way to drums and percussion. It is even capable of producing outstanding effect sounds and unusual rhythms. In essence, Photone employs a relatively straightforward 'subtractive' architecture, featuring a bank of oscillators, two filters, and an array of effect processors. However, several features set Photone apart from other synthesizers. In addition to its unprecedented sound quality, Photone boasts an array of special features, including custom oscillator types, flexible control over filter routing, vintage analog drift and detuning emulation, and advanced modulation options. In short, Photone redefines the standard for REAKTOR synthesizers!
LIMELITE - Advanced Beat Composer
This masterpiece is definitely one of the most exciting and advanced drum machines and beat composers ever created!
Combining powerful sequencing options, a huge bank of samples, and an awesome array of effect processors, Limelite takes the beat-box concept to a whole new level. Limelite is capable of producing thousands of the most upfront beats - from classic 4-to-the-floor and warped-out beats all the way to frantic, frenetic frenzies and far beyond- Limelite's sound architecture is vast, complex and yet surprisingly easy to use: The integrated 7 channel step sequencer allows for instant groove creation and manipulation. It includes a modulation sequencer and an additional pattern sequencer to automatically switch from pattern to pattern. The remix section allows for easy beat variations without the need to edit the sequencer pattern itself: Just choose one of 127 predefined variation algorithms, select the interval of bars to vary and start your mixing mayhem. The heart of Limelite is the sampler section, consisting of 5 integrated samplers which are packed with around 640 drum samples, instruments and fx sounds. Each sampler boasts a dedicated set of powerful sound shaping and modulation options offering unlimited sonic flexibility. For example, use the modulation sequencer to swap between different samples or vary the pitch, attack, decay and much more. With pitch modulation you can add melodic variations such as basslines to your grooves! The highly advanced effects section sports a delay panel, equalizer, filter, a unique "Pulp" FX processor, and a multi effects unit with a choice 22 effects - letting you drive your beats crazy. Control two effects simultaneously with the XY pad. You can even record the XY mouse movements for lively and smooth effect transitions. To finish it all off, the "magic" section delivers granular sample-twisting and extreme filter effects. And the icing on the cake: You can switch the built-in samplers off and route an external signal (drum loop, audio track etc.) into Limelite to create mind-bending sonic madness!
METAPHYSICAL FUNCTION - Unique Soundscaper
Far more than 'just another' synthesiser, Metaphysical Function offers a truly engaging audio/visual experience with a vast and unique sonic palette ranging from beautiful soothing tones to dark, disturbing soundscapes.
KRYPT - Granular Drum Machine
Krypt is a loop generator quite unlike any other. In essence, it consists of a programmable granular sampler wired to a six-channel sequencer with an intelligent pattern generation algorithm. It is capable of generating polymorphic beats that are simply unheard of.
AKKORD - Sequenced Chord Generator
Akkord is a hybrid additive / FM synthesizer that creates chord sequences, arpeggios, shimmering pads, delayed synth and deep bass lines, subtle harmonic rhythms, ambient textures and even drum grooves. It's the perfect instrument to add evolving harmonic structures and arpeggios to your rhythm tracks.
RESOCHORD - Polyphonic Resonator
This powerful resonator imprints harmonic structures onto any input signal - including percussive sounds with no existing harmonics. It consists of 6 feedback units, each resonating at a different frequency, generating rich and luscious chords, which can be played via MIDI.
FAST FX - Advanced Performance Effects
A combination of six unusual effects that can turn any track into something really special - by slicing, filtering, gating, looping and "freezing" the signal in unspeakable ways.
Fast FX features a special 'live' snapshot system - which makes it perfect for live performance.
CYAN - Extended Vintage Chorus
Cyan is far more than just a high-quality chorus unit. It offers many new and exciting sound-shaping possibilities and advanced features such as tempo-synchronisation and extended delay modulation control.
