Experimental / IDM Roulette

Cycles & Spots deliver another great synth for Native Instruments Reaktor, this one is an endless randomizable experimental sound generator. ChaosLab can play by itself and is also playable via MIDI input. It's basically a modular system that literally configures itself with the push of a button. That way you can create hundreds of sequences / drones / sounds which also can modulate themselves endlessly. Naturally you can also manipulate these outcomes with all the given controls and shape them further, this goes for beginners and advanced users alike, because a lot of effort went into the fine tuning of all the dials so that it always sounds interesting. This instrument is a fruitful inspiration machine, you could use the output directly or maybe record it and further design the sound, maybe cut out pieces, or feed a granular sampler with it, or play it rhythmically with your MIDI controller / keyboard.

Reaktor Full Version 6.5.0 (or later) needed

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 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.

Mod Matrix (FX Amounts, Delay Time L+R, Reverb Size, Sample Tunings)
3 Sequencers For Kick, Snare, Hihat – 64 Steps
