Heavens*onEarth has announced the release of Godel, a new polyphonic arpeggiator ensemble for Native Instruments' Reaktor.
Godel is actually a triad of arpeggiators that can arpeggiate each other. There are also chord generators and a color on-screen keyboard with multiple modes, plus the notes input into the arpeggio are also remembered in sequence when stored in the snapshot, so the arpeggiator also functions as a sequencer. With multiple arpeggiators playing each other, Godel is an easy and fun way to create motifs and other music compositions interactively.
The ensemble is available for purchase for $43.39, which includes updates and variations in response to feature requests. A manual is available for download, as well as a Blog article on the lessons from Godel's design. The ensemble also includes a new version of the minimal synth, Epicurus.
Heavens*onEarth has also updated Heidegger, a free "switchless waveset MIDI/sequencer synthesizer" ensemble for Reaktor.
Changes:
- It now includes its own custom waveset file. Previously this was distributed only with Marx, to reduce download filesize.
- The ensemble now works in Reaktor 5. It was originally designed for Reaktor 3, since which time its arpeggiator and the sequencer panels no longer function in current Reaktor versions. As the Godel arpeggiator and Husserl sequencers are now available as standalone instruments, Heidegger is reconfigured to be driven by MIDI directly, so you can play it from a keyboard, or from our MIDI instruments, or from your own.
