Flintpope's latest instrument brings a world of sonic possibilities to your Reaktor-based productions for the distinctly affordable sum of just $10. Here's the details.
The ever-prolific Nick at Flintpope has released another Reaktor-based instrument and it's super affordable - SILVER Sample Layer Player for Reaktor 6.2.1. Here's what he told us about it.
"As an indie sound designer for Reaktor 6, apart from instrument functionality I also have to consider “what’s the angle?” - what makes this device different from the thousand others out there? And indeed from all the others I’ve released so far.
Any one of the 52635 downloaders of Flintpope instruments would know I’m obsessed with soundscapes - long, ambient atmospheric creations that send the listener off on a Headphone Journey, into a bit of a Tonto’s Expanding Headband mood.
So, is this one any different? NO! It’s more soundscapes. More and more soundscapes, but (slightly) better produced than previously thanks to the 4 channel mixing desk with 3-way EQ and not two but FOUR samplers each loaded with 36 DIFFERENT Flintpope samples to each other, making 144 unique sounds that can be layered in up to 1296 possible combinations."
Details
- There are 30 presets to give a flavour of these possibilities. Double click “Embedded” in the presets side-pane or use the drop-down menu in the device header. Add to all this Reverb and Echo FX, Envelope and Velocity Sensitivity.
- Each sampler also has its own unique controls for sample Choice, Pitch, Start-point, Random Playback and Warped Vinyl effect. Each sampler also has Solo, Mute, Pan, Level, 2 Sends and 3-Way EQ. The mixer also provides Master Level, Pan and Mute and 2 Returns.
- The value of this set-up to fellow Reaktor enthusiasts is the ability to easily replace the samples with their own and/or rip out the samplers and for example replace with four synths, or whatever…
