ReaktorTips has released Vectorspace, a gestural sequenced sampler for Native Instruments' Reaktor.
Its sound at any given time is designed to be a superposition of gestural sequencers and effects. It also includes a sequeggiator - a probabilistic sequenced arpeggiator - that plays staggered chords as polyphonic sequences, creating a constantly evolving blend of rhythm and harmony.
It can also be played as a more traditional sampler, a soundscape creator or as a physically modelled synth using the sampled material as an exciter and the resonator effect as a body. The resonator is polyphonic and responsive to note and chord changes. Its partials can be tuned, damped and skewed to create bell, percussion and drum sounds, or abstract reverberations.
The sample position, sample length, grain spacing and envelope parameters can all be automated, as can the resonator, growl, filter and delay effects. Each XY fader can run in smooth or quantized mode, and quantized mode allows you to set individual clock speeds and sequence lengths for the X and Y axes of each automated fader. Quantized mode also gives a user the opportunity to edit and fine tune the level of each step in a fader's X and Y sequences.
Vectorspace comes with a comprehensive manual and mapping templates for Lemur, Konkreet Performer and QuNeo.
