Another peek at what's cooking at ReaktorTips Sound Laboratories.
This is a granular drum sampler I'm working on in Reaktor that has Elektron MachineDrum style parameter locks. I think it sounds pretty good so far. Note the ridiculously low CPU usage - 2% to 2.1%

At the moment, the knobs are used to write looping parameter automation per step, and this works great with Kore 2 hardware controllers, but entering percussion sequences must be done with the mouse. I've tried using a keyboard to enter data but it's hard and fiddly to get the exact velocity you want on a given step, and a pain to remove steps.
I'm going to wait till my Maschine arrives and use its drum pads to trigger sequence entry. The sequencer doesn't send MIDI yet, but the controller does and from everything I've heard it's a joy to use.
Sorry to keep teasing you guys with this stuff but no downloads - I'm trying to think of a way to monetize this, either with a small payment for the ensemble plus documentation, or maybe something sponsored. And yet at the same time, I want to share. Ah, conflict.

this looks awesome. I'd love to mess with it to see if i could turn my MPD32 into a massive drum monster! niiiiice work.
After I get it modded to work with Maschine it should theoretically work with other pad units like the MPD as well, with a bit of modification perhaps.
Looks great! I would gladly donate some monetized funds for a copy!
I think I'll take you up on that, Señor Frio. What do you think is a fair price for the ensemble plus PDF documentation?
If anyone else has an opinion on price, I'm all ears.
In the world of iPod app pricing. I would think $10 - 15 would be a fair price... Maybe not > $20. I think really low cost instrument pricing is the way to go.
yeah would love to try this out too,own a MD so would be interesting to see how this fairs against it
I'm going to get things settled, hopefully early this week, as to whether this will be a sponsored release or sold for small payments. More soon.
I've been thinking on how to make some financial return on ensembles. Here it goes: share the ensemble for free but encourage anyone to buy a bank of snapshots and a manual if they find it useful. To share the ensemble is a good way of marketing. Otherwise it's difficult to know how much better this is all the 3000 uploads in the UL it is. I guess you need to include a handful snaps to show off...
Why don't you try to tap into the Heavens on Earth site.
anymore news on the availability of this? thanks
Hugo, I'm packaging something up now - will have news on availability late tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!
Launch of instrument delayed due to entire family infested with stomach (not swine) flu. Nothing lethal, just nasty. More updates later.
wish you get well :)
