Experimental / IDM Roulette

Cycles & Spots created a a new version of their first Reaktor instrument Lifeform with 400 samples implemented, a perfect tool for Ambient productions and soundscape building. It's very easy and quick to get beautiful or harmonic or disharmonic textures, even using only one sample. These can be very dynamic in terms of changes in the actual sound over long time periods (You can cross-modulate all LFOs with each other). Though it is also possible to dive deep into this instrument and control every little detail. The Lifeform concept is to have 2 granular samplers playing and mixing these together plus lots of modulation. In fact this version has a modulation matrix featuring 8 LFOs (sine to random) and 8 destinations for the granular samplers. Both samplers feature the standard grain funktions and can be frequency shifted and equalized. Effect-wise there are grain delays for the left and right channel and a superb lush reverb.

Cycles & Spots deliver 327 Wav loops inspired by the Musique Concrète genre from the early 20th Century for Ambient / Experimental productions. Much like the original style these loops are made from real life recordings and then were transformed into new contexts, sometimes rhythmical and other times on the texture side. Tape mimicking techniques were used and also modernized effects like buffer manipulation were added to keep the spirit of the genre but resulting in still fresh sounding material to create temporary Ambient music with a certain edge. Most loops come with many variations. Use single loops to get inspired or combine multiple ones and build soundscapes and more with this collection.

Cycles & Spots strike back with another fresh instrument for NI Reaktor – a drum machine with probability and lots of modulation options, good for IDM, Trap, Dubstep and Experimental / Ambient productions. It comes with 300 integrated samples (Kick, Snare, Hihat) and 30 presets. Via a modulation matrix 8 destinations can be set with 2 drawable envelopes and 6 LFOs. On top a buffer repeater can be randomly triggered. That means the beats (or soundscapes) don't need to be static and rather boring but instead keep modulating over time and remain exciting.
