...I hope some of you find this service somewhat
useful. At least I'm getting to know my own effects intimately.
This is for all you Eventide fans. David Coffin
turned me on to Reaktor 5 last month...I bought it after selling my Mesa Boogie
Mark I, and I've been toying around with it as a VST program in
Chainer. Since then I think I'm on my way to being the Reakor 5 poster
child. I can't even tell you in words the impression this program is making on
me, and this is coming from an owner of over 400 VST effects, two VF1s, a TC
Electronic Fireworx, Ensoniq DP4, DigiTech TSR24, and many other effect units in
my past gear acquisition life.
I asked David, being an Eventide owner (current or
prior), if there were any Reaktor ensembles (literally hundreds and hundreds of
free items from other Reaktor users, and sort of like effect units unto
themselves, with multiple presets or "snaps) that got close to creating those
lush and ethereal pad-like effects on an Eventide, and his response was
"Blackbird." David, what user developed this? Paul Swennenhuis? He should be
crowned and awarded retirement for life. :) In any event, I just created a
sample sound clip of this ensemble below. Enjoy. I'm in love with Reaktor
5. This was the best effect processing investment I've made in my entire
life.
VST Program: Reaktor
5
Featured Ensemble (effect): Blackbird (Free, developed by
user)
Cost: $399 USD
Brief
Description
REAKTOR 5 fuses all audio applications into a single,
extremely versatile and powerful tool. Musicians, producers and sound designers
are all catered to by the very broad range of instruments and sounds already
included. Due to the open engine architecture, the potential for building your
own highly individual instruments is endless. Whether you are using the
instruments from the library or creating your own, the only limit is your
imagination.
