Cycles & Spots crafted a loops recorder in Reaktor that follows the basic idea of having 4 tape machines in your studio, though it didn’t quit stop there. This instrument can add randomness to the playbacks and by that can build everchanging compositions. Another main point is to have no tempo syncronization which adds more unpredictability and excitement. Double and half speed, forward and reverse play, amplitude envelope triggers and volumes can be manually set or randomly triggered. To get more of the old skool vibe, a tape sound emulation can be turned on for a bit of saturation and less or more of flutter and wow. On top of that the instrument features a tremolo effect for volume or left / right panning (also random rate possible), a dubby delay (watch out for the feedback) and a big reverb. So it’s easy to get real big sounding pieces out of this. The instrument is mainly to make Ambient, experimental music or soundscapes but it all depends on what you feed it with.

Full Version Of Native Instruments Reaktor 6.5.0 Needed (Or Later)
Cycles & Spots sampled sounds from digital synthesizers of the 80s and used these as the basis to craft this rompler for Native Instruments Reaktor with 249 presets for obviously 80s inpired music genres but also Lo-Fi, Ambient and even House music productions. You'll hear familiar 80s sounds but then again also in new and unheard layerings. This instrument features 2 sample players with seperate amp envelopes to layer sounds and process them further with a filter, LFO, chorus, delay and reverb. The latter FX can instanlty change all sounds to an Ambient music character. The sound sources are sampled from a single note each which makes this rompler perfect also for Lo-Fi productions as the presets sound brilliant in a 2 octaves range and get very gritty beyond that. As the LFO let's you modulate the pitch you can make the sounds wobble as if they were playing from an old tape machine. You can save your own presets by mixing the 200 given source rom sounds.

More fine Ambient / Experimental sound design from Cycles & Spots in the form of 50 long modulating samples / stems (Up to 3 minutes). These are meant to be either layered or to use single samples as a basis for a songs / soundscapes or you cut out pieces for further processing or to feed a granular synthesizer. As much as possible no reverb and delay have been used (unless crucial part of the design) for you to choose your own and apply to the samples (all of the content profits a lot from using reverb on top). A few of the samples use tempo synchronization but mostly no sync was the aim to keep it more interesting in the Ambient / Experimental context.
