LOS ANGELES and Berlin — Native Instruments has just released REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS, a new KORE SOUNDPACK that explores the world of complex self-generating soundscapes, textures and rhythms. Powered by several highly advanced REAKTOR-based sound generators including the innovative “Spiral” sequencer, REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS provides a literally endless resource of unique atmospheric sound material for various electronic music styles, movie and game scoring, art projects, and more.

The sonic arsenal of REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS is based on 200 carefully designed KoreSounds that take advantage of the unparalleled capabilities of the REAKTOR engine embedded in KORE 2 and the free KORE PLAYER. The unconventional REAKTOR sound generators “Newscool”, “Metaphysical Function”, “Spacedrone” and “Skrewell” are utilized to produce deep, constantly fluctuating soundscapes that range from dark to meditative and from moody to abstract.

REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS also introduces the new sequencing instrument “Spiral”, the latest creation of REAKTOR master builder Lazyfish, based on a highly unusual and inspirational approach to pattern generation. Spiral uses concentric sequencing lanes and advanced algorithms to create continuously shifting, kaleidoscopic melodies, and can be routed into any sound source that accepts MIDI input.

All sounds in REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS offer powerful sound shaping options through eight “morphable” Sound Variations per preset, with crucial sound parameters also conveniently assigned to the unified KORE user interface. Owners of REAKTOR 5 get full access to the panels of the individual ensembles for full control of every single sound parameter.

The Spiral ensemble is also available separately as a free download for all owners of REAKTOR 5 through the NI Service Center application.

REAKTOR ANIMATED CIRCUITS is available for download purchase in the NI Online Shop for a suggested retail price of $59 / 49 EUR.
