Cycles & Spots present a loop mangler ensemble for NI Reaktor focusing towards the production of Deep House and Deep Tech trax.

100 loops are included and 50 presets are ready to be used in your productions.

One loop sampler (For rhythm)and one granular sampler (For harmony) are manipulating their loop samples to make them sound totally new, so the presets can be drastically changed or new ones can be built.

Optionally you also can load your own samples via the sample editor and start twisting them.

Each sampler can sequence the sample position, pitch and volume (Each with 50 pattern memory and randomize play is possible, too) plus adding & altering reverb and delay.

C&S created something special in their headquarters, a groove machine for Native Intruments Reaktor.

It works similar to a drum machine and features basses and sounds (Mostly chords) on top. 20 already programmed song patterns are included.

Instead only triggering note on/off , this instrument triggers velocity and also 5 different pitch values (X/Y buttons). You can create complete Deep Tech trax with this, either arranging them in in your favourite DAW by snapshots / patterns per MIDI or by simply recording the audio output.

A mixer with a reverb and a delay is built inside although you can use separated stereo outs for each element inside your DAW, too. As it is possible to trigger snapshots by MIDI notes, interesting grooves can be achieved.

All elements can be shuffled separately to get complex grooving sequences. Opposed to all the features it is actually easily and quickly to handle plus a lot of fun!

C&S return with the 3rd update (featuring all new and partly longer samples) of DM Trax Maker, a great instrument ensemble for NI Reaktor to easily create Deep / Minimal trax by layering beat, bass, perc, theme and hihat loops.

These can be manipulated in pitch, frequency, playback position, filter settings and via the internal mixer featuring a reverb and a delay unit. In other words, you can quickly create dozens of cool trax based on the superb samples and easy handling.

20 cool presets are already included. To arrange your creations you can simply record the output in your DAW and afterwards put together the best parts or you use the single outputs for each element to arrange and expand them in your DAW. Either way, with DM Trax Maker 2 you´ll get quick inspirations for your next productions.

It is NKS ready which means MIDI controllers will be already mapped to the corresponding knobs via Komplete Kontrol, it’s not mandatory though. Even without KK you can map any controller and quickly change the character of each preset sound drastically, for example by selecting different Wavetables or scanning their positions.

Please Note: You must have the FULL version of Reaktor to use this synth

Changelog:

V1.1: Improved NKS integration

Cycles & Spots are back with another great instrument for Reaktor. Beatbox is a drum machine including 800+ one-shot samples.

Its main feature is a randomize button which instantly generates new kits. This leads to hundreds of individual and fresh drum kits while producing in any Dance genre, especially House and Techno styles. You can edit your kits (drum select, pitch, vol, pan, equalize, fx send, adsr for each drum), save them and that way build up your own unique library. This drum machine is intended for direct MIDI input or for the use with external sequencers.

You can make your drums alive by recording parameter modulations (e.g. decay, pitch).

This instrument is NKS Ready.

Please note: You musty have the latest full version of Reaktor to use this product

Cycles & Spots present a drum machine based on loops for Native Instruments Reaktor. It features six samplers with 600 loops in total ranging from kick, top, clap, snare, perc and more.

You can quickly and easily create lots of beats with a high efficient fine tuned randomizer or dive deeper into details or build these from totally from scratch.

With the given mixer the tracks can be propperly equalized, panned and up to 4 effects (reverb, delay, tremolo, stereotizer) can be applied.

Naturally these FX can be edited. Patterns can be triggered via MIDI input to arrange drum tracks.

Last but not least your beats can be finalized with saturation and compression to give an analog feel and pump.

Cycles & Spots present the follow up to Rhythm, a percussion instrument for Native Instruments' Reaktor. 800 fresh new loops are integrated in this version which also offers extended functionality. 8 sample players can be separately manipulated in loop range (so polyrhythms can be made), start, frequency, playback modes & speeds.

Rhythm 2 also let's you now use a 4 band equalizer and apply 4 effects for each player seperaty. These effects are reverb, delay, tremolo (panner) and a phaser.

Simple inspirations and complex percussive structures can be easily made from experimental material up to full House Music based beats. Snapshots (presets) can be triggered via MIDI input and like this bigger structures (song mode) can be crafted. 50 snapshots are integrated. Samples vary from top loops, kicks, traditional percussion, 808s, kitchen recordings to even full beats.

The instrument also features seperate mono outputs for each sampler for those who prefer this over the in-built effects.

Cycles & Spots deliver a new version of Deep Minimal Trax Maker. Sharing the same versatile engine of the predecessors (4&5), this one comes with 600 completely new samples. DMTM is like a mini DAW for Native Instruments Reaktor for the production of Deep Tech / Minimal / Deep House tracks.

6 Samplers not only play the 600 included samples (beat, bass, chords, hihat, percussion) but also can mash these up totally by reordering them (new since 4) and changing the pitch and frequency. Naturally you can further manipulate them with filters (Assigned LFOs) and by adding reverb and delay.

DMTM 4 let's you create complex patterns which change over time by using polyrhytms and complex synced LFOs. DMTM 4 now supports pattern switch via MIDI input. All samplers have individual outputs as well. Produce complete minimalistic deep & technoid tracks or work on them further in your favourite DAW.

Reaktor Full Version 6.4.3 (or later) needed

A great Drum Machine / Groovebox using Frequency Modulation Synthesis for Native Instruments Reaktor from Cycles & Spots. The instrument provides the unique FM sound for punchy to metallic sounding drums and also in/harmonical sounds can be made for more abstract or ambient productions.

50 presets, 200 patterns and 50 drum kits are implemented and ready to use plus more can be quickly made also with the help of randomizers.

Each kit features 4 sounds and each has its own FM synth engine with one carrier and 3 operators. Further each can be modulated over longer time with 2 LFOs (pulse, sine, triangle, sample & hold, brown noise) to make it more alive.

To round up the sound a mixer with delay and reverb is provided. Each synth can be routed externally as well if wished for.
