sup, any of you guys know how to get pervy with choppin beats up ine Reaktor?

i am sure there is a beat slicer somewhere, i can always tell when someone is chopping shit up in reaktor due to the modulation, i just don't know which plugin it is, i'd like to figure it out by myself but if there is a tutorial out there or if you have some advice at hand i'd appreciate that.

looking to step up ma drum edits that much more.

thanks in advance! \((( "D )))/

i'm curious as to what modulation you hear that makes you think of reaktor... it's generally pretty transparent to my ears, although the influence of certain ensembles can be noticeable...

vectory, for example.

vectory is actually a great place to start mangling audio.

i could put together a little tutorial video for it, it'd probably be easier than explaining it.

outside of that, grainstates is cool for generating amazing stuff out of samples n' loops too.

and then if you want to perform / tweak live... the oft-maligned 'the finger' is pretty amazing.

this isn't so much 'how' as much as 'what'. but if you want maybe i'll put something together to show you how to do cool stuff. reaktor is pretty inspirational, if a bit clunky.

well from hearing Techdiff's tunes and Flashbulbs and some other folks, you can distinguish the profound sound immediately.

it almost sounds as if they are using the glitch vst, but have complete control over it.

i would appreciate a tutorial if you don't mind, and i am sure the other folks here would surely appreciate it

Hi beny!

I dont use reaktor so much for chopping up breaks, I have built a couple beat slicers in there, but mostly I just use it for making sounds to slice up in a sequencer.

Flasbulb has pretty much written whole tracks using Vectory, cant remember the neame of 'em. Felt kinda disgusted on hearing them, like he was trying to take credit for Tim Exiles programming work. Litteraly just recorded the output and put a naff melody over the top.

The resynth sample module is a good place to start, for grainulizer sounds. has a really special sound to it. Normally dickin about with with that is a good place to start, then put some effects in the chain, Comb filter, FM mod, are a couple favs.

i've got 1 ens which is a loop player with a few simple playback edits, then ran through a multi effect type thing I built with loads of parameters assigned to the XY on my nanopad, and effect on/offs assigned to the pads. Then just hit all the pads and go crazy on the X/Y, record the output (Ctrl + F3) and then sequence in FL

there is a ins file called splitter which is pretty clever, you assign different LFOs an env and loop points to your sample per key, that can get pretty wild, and there is a regular beat slicer too, called beatslicer =D

Hit me up on Gmail or summit.. I'll send you some love! Or wait till I see you in a couple months <3

I been pimping the resynth module for years. I don't understand why people haven't found this gem yet. I'm convinced most of the sounds from Go Plastic came from this module specifically.

sweet, thanks Dave, i just wanna add more elements to drum edits, there is really only soo mch you can do, and i wanna avoid sounding anything like the glitch vst, so i don't wanna bit crush or retrigger or flange at all.

right now my set up is just

kick

kick reverse

kick scratch

kick granulized

that's about as far as it goes besides your tiny edits and snare rushes.

i'll have to give some experimenting a shot

Go Plastic was made on hardware, Squarepusher listed the gear he used in some interviews.

we had an ensemble up on the RLR website a while back called 'FX-switcher' which is basically a 16 step sequencer or midi piano roll controlled (through your host) that lets you switch an incoming signal through 8 different effects rhythmically.

in reaktor it's very easy to set things like this up with using prebuilt macros and instruments and you can just choose whatever mangling effect you want.

here is the Brian English iteration of the same concept - http://videohoax.ctyme.com/reaktor/R5/briYANfx.ism

give it a try snafu it's basically a much more flexible glitchVST where you can simply pop in your own effects instead of the ones here by default. Use it as an insert effect on your host.

he said in an interview that he used reaktor as well

you can hear it on some of the tracks

also aphex and squarepusher used to download the rebirth demo and try to make songs quickly before the time limit ran out. but not on go plastic or any known releases :D

lol that's funny about rebirth, I barely remember that app

It is pretty well known that most IDM "gods" were much quicker to say they used mostly or all hardware rather than admit how much software they actually used. RDJ proved that people actually believe you when you lie and say yeah I made all my machines, I have flying pig that takes me from cloud to cloud to make tracks Ive used software a little bit but I designed all my software myself.

would just like to add that any beat choppin' wisdom for reaktor would be appreciated by me as well.

you should post a few screenshots of your patch/project in the share your secrets thread. this is great.
