Cycles & Spots Reaktor Vectorhttps://youtu.be/vlZta5ctE-k Cycles & Spots crafted a soundscaper which modulates the levels balance of 4 samplers featuring 200 WAV loops implemented. The loops can all have different freely adjustable lengths for polyrhythms and a out-of-phase effect over time. Another huge feature is a randomizer that is well balanced to get best results. In fact because of it this instrument doesn't come with presets (except an intial one for default settings) as it is quick and easy to generate new ones. Of course from there onwards you could further fine-tune if you wish to. A chorus and stereo grain delays are added to the output to make it more thick and rich. Pack Details: Instrument for NI Reaktor feat: Vector XY Mixer With 2 LFOs 200 Implemented Loops Stereo Grain Delay 4 Sample Player Randomizer Chorus. Full Version Of NI Reaktor 6.5.0 (Or Higher) Needed. Read More
