Here is a cool and unique sounding Reaktor synth from salamanderanagram. It began with inspiration from the Operator synth from Ableton Live then took a detour. Nice GUI, great sounds, fairly light on CPU. Thumbs up!

A peek at the next step
This is an early peek at the next step in the algorithmic series for Reaktor – a neural network sequencer. It continues the idea of having Reaktor “listen to itself” but produces more patterned and interesting output.
The sounds are just placeholders at the moment – expect something more chaotic as the building progresses.
Algorithmic Music in Reaktor
It occurs to me that it’s been ages since I posted an actual, you know, Reaktor tutorial around these parts. Which is what this blog was originally created for! So here’s something nice and meaty: a tutorial on basic algorithmic music generation techniques in Reaktor.
What this tutorial and its associated instruments will do is give you a basic feel for how events in Reaktor can be wrangled and manipulated into musically meaningful forms. What it WON’T do is compose your next masterpiece or write a top ten hit:
However, what you might do is take some of these techniques and create instruments that go further towards realizing your musical ambitions. I’ve always thought of Reaktor as a tool that blurs the distinction between instrument and composition. If you think along the same lines then you will find this information useful. Happy building!
