![]() Native Instruments has released two COMMUNITY DRIVE soundpacks to encourage and develop more opportunities for artists to collaborate on projects and work together. And during challenging times the music community often bands together to support one another. Reaktor users who have ensembles from Bernd Keil, Dieter Zobel or Rick Scott in their favorites folder should have already downloaded their free copy of the Spiral ensemble from the NI Service Center.Music reflects the times. That’s not a bad thing, but don’t expect you are going to be playing these sounds. Reaktor Animated Circuits features some amazing sounds and experimental musicians will probably find good use for its sounds in their works, but Reaktor Animated Circuits actually seems more like eye candy (for the ear, and the eye when using Spiral in Reaktor) to me than anything else. The same goes for this new one - perhaps even more so. When I reviewed Absynth Twilights I mentioned it was a bit of a YMMV product. I am not going to get a huge amount of use from it in my music, but I do enjoy playing around with self-generated sounds a lot, so for me Reaktor Animated Circuits is absolutely great. Reaktor Animated Circuits is available as a download for $59 USD / 49 EUR. Spiral features various algorithms to create patterns and many of its parameters can be controlled from KORE or KORE Player. Spiral is a MIDI instrument, so it doesn’t actually produce any sound but rather acts as a sequencer, triggering other instruments. Spiral introduces a unique, intuitive approach to music, with concentric sequencing lanes and advanced algorithms that create fluctuating, kaleidoscopic melodies. and the all new Spiral sequencer, a generative MIDI sequencer developed by Lazyfish (Alexander Potekhin) for Animated Circuits. ![]() The sequencer is based on the “Life” cellular automation game developed by mathematician John Conway, and enables highly organic evolution of patterns and events. Eight parallel oscillator units are modulated extensively, producing a signal to which effects are added.
