Reaktor: Golden Loop Sampler

As promised, here is another Reaktor ensemble. I have been needing a good tool for working with drum loops, and didn’t really have anything that fit into my setup right. So I just made a sample chopper. There are some good slicers in the library, but, as usual, I wanted something that fit my needs.

This slicer cuts your loop into equal divisions and then plays back those divisions with midi notes. Each slice can be randomized in pitch, playback speed, and sample offset, and the probability of randomization can be set, too. That’s pretty much it!

Here are some quick MP3 demos I did of the slicer:

G2 Patch: Golden Drums Sequencer

One of the things I was most excited about getting this G2 modular Keyboard for, was the great interface for live performance and sequencing. Before I got it, I didn’t even realize that it had such great built-in step sequencing features! Lacking a good drum machine (honestly, I think the only drum machine worth having out there is the ridiculously expensive $1500+ Elektron Machinedrum), I decided to make the g2 into a groovebox.
