We've got a new Reaktor ensemble for you today, courtesy of J.Knocker who also has several other Reaktor creations available from his Cephalonya site. The banks section has also been updated with a few extra external links to some other Reaktor sites:

Project One have released a new VSTi for PC users, Bomb That Beat. It's a sample manipulation tool that breaks down sample loops, as ReCycle does, and allows you to rearrange them, tweak volume, tuning, start and end positions, playback direction, a hell of a whole lot more (I think!!)
As the site and documentation is (was) in German its a little heavy going for us non German speakers, so much of this is guess work from playing with the demo. It certainly looks impressive and could be something very special. [PC]
Bug-fix: Modulation wheel didn't work when pitch-mod was 0
Bug-fix: In a special situation, changing filter-type would make a loud noise
Impulse demo is now 8 voice polyphonic

It's been a while, I know, but finally the ASIO Latency Survey has been updated!! We're using a MySQL database and PHP now so you can search the results by Card, Company, Latency, etc.
The VSTi page has changed to a PHP page and will have new search & spec features later this week, along with several banks that have arrived recently!
The new server seems to be running OK, if you find any broken links, missing images, etc. please let us know
