meet Keith the Kick:

kick drum done properly

edit: heavily updated - new GUI - better filter usw...
this uses a complex audio pulse to trigger a ZDF band pass filter
like in the old days before samples...

Any details?

I don't have Reaktor installed right now.

I saw the 'working' versions of this uploaded at the UL I think.
If it is in some finished form now, I am very happy to try it out. Thanks.

@highkoo
pretty much finished
any further updates will be minor

@The Chase
not sure what you mean by details?

built in Reaktor 6 - you'll need latest version installed:

based on TR-808 topology
that is:
shaped audio trigger (click) attached to the input of a bandpass filter
with a very fast filter frequency modulation envelope
followed by a lowpass 'tone' control and an invisible hipass filter to remove the nasties...

this filter is based upon Benjamin Poddig's ZDF 4 pole ladder filter
adapted to 2 pole band pass with extra feedback inserts
so it behaves a bit more like a Sallen-Key filter
the trigger is delayed twice to achieve the combing/phasing effect found in TR-808
caused by diode drops etc... check TR-808 spectrum and circuit diagram to see what i mean
plus loads of added trigger control
the pitch envelope has loads control unlike the original for achieving a wider range of sounds
Brett Lavallee added quite a few saturation options
loads of presets and a great GUI with full 'Blocks' modulation of everything

you can get it to sound 'like' a TR-808
but without the trademark 'pitch sag'
and without the accent - because working out what goes on in the accent cct is tricksy
but it is not an emulation
and is much more versatile

Will you be updating the Hi hat too with nice GUI ?

@VariKusBrainZ
funny you should say that....
Brett has done the UI
and tons of presets
just fixing a couple things...

THANK YOU!!!! Blocks ROCK - they finally deliver what I always imagined Reaktor would be. And these 3rd party contributions are fantastic.

here is Henry the Hat:
http://www.native-instruments.com/en/re ... show/9391/
Henry is based on Schmitt trigger topology:
6 square waves - tuned and filtered - like TR-808 HiHat/Cowbell section
+ hardware style hacks:
tune controls for oscillators 1-4 & 5+6
and a mix control between the two sections
eg: original cowbell only used oscs 1-4
click and tone controls are mutually dependent
also added retriggering for phasey and doubling stuff - time and amount

wait til you meet Sydney....

Sounds very nice!
I played with it just for just a few minutes, and it kept skipping the second note it was sent...
Might be something simple I missed. I didnt have time to figure it out.

@highkoo
if that's the kick
try removing the 8 steps sequencer block

Very nice. I can't wait for the next Komplete Ultimate to come out so I can finally play with all these fun Reaktor 6 blocks!

highkoo · Post by **highkoo** » Tue Dec 29, 2015 11:44 pm

thanks dave, removing the seq did the trick.

and thanks, these are great.

Reaktor blocks updated: Keith the Kick, Henry the Hat + Sydney the Snare
