Sapphire of Reaktor 6 is now available for free download on my redesigned blog:

https://yofiel.com/max.php (https://yofiel.com/max.php)

"Originally sold on Heavens*onEarth, Sapphire has been widely acknowledged as the single most powerful MIDI sequencer instrument ever created. Many people have heard it create different musical phrases on the TV series '30 Something,' thinking it was a 'real musician.' Well, the composer simply set Sapphire up to generate different theme variations depending when he played only two notes.

Briefly, the ensemble's 16 sequencer channels can intermodulate each other's notes, velocity, clock rate, and/or bar patterns. Intermodulation can be clocked or single-stepped in layered, fugued, recursive, and 1-shot modes. Other abilities include note filtering and clipping, chord generation, note mapping to musical keys, input recording, MIDI I/O crossmapping, and clock jitter. note sequences to different instruments, and clock jitter control, on the B panelset."

The page includes a YouTube video of Sapphire playing the first snapshot in the ensemble library. The library has many snapshots demoing its various features, all detailed in a comprehensive 72-page manual, viewable on the download page and included in the download.

I hope you enjoy the ensemble. If you have NI Reaktor, it can work as a VST/AU plugin, which is documented in the manual too, or as a standalone app with 16-channel MIDI I/O.

It sounds wonderful, thanks!
It made me remember of Metaphysical Function.

Have a good day

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! The thing about being powerful is that it has a bit of a learning curve. But people who've used it in the past have appreciated all things like the panels hiding controls when a module isn't being used, all the controls being visible at once when wanted, and the ease of modifying it to make variations on a theme.
