Hi! I’m Kris. I’m stoked (that’s Australian for very pleased) to get the chance to run you through Processed – a Reaktor ensemble I made and uploaded to the User Library back in early April 2017.

When first unboxing Reaktor 5 back in 2000-and-something I was blown away by the capabilities of these other-worldly synths, drum machines, granular sample destroying effects and sequencers, but it was some of the generative tools that really captured my imagination.
In the 1970s, British mathematician John Conway devised Game of Life a simple turn based zero player game in-which patterns of cells evolve through generations, either surviving or not based on simple rules.
In the first instalment of this series we looked at creating a monosynth in Reaktor, from the absolute basics through to creating oscillators, MIDI inputs, a basic ADSR envelope and filter before finishing with an introduction to macros.
Native Instrument’s Massive is probably the de facto go-to wavetable synth these days. Lately it’s had huge success off the back of the later waves of dubstep, particularly the abuse of the Modern Talking and Brutal Electro sounds found in it.
Reaktor is an incredibly powerful digital semi-modular by Native Instruments. A lot of producers might have it as part of the Komplete bundle, but few I’ve spoken to have even scratched the surface of its potential.
