This is an AWESOME gift!! Holy moly what a synth!

Thank you NI for this amazing synthesizer. It's by far the best Christmas present from you guys so far. Awesome work Stephan!

Cheers!

You have to log in at NI and, find skanner press download and give your email then.

I did that, I have Skanner installed and registered already.

Yes, it's total unique sound and great quality.
I'm very glad that i can use in the free Reaktor player.
Although i'm not very comfortable with players yet, this one really worth it.

The only thing i'm missing in the free version is i can't use external wave samples, but well, we can't have everything in this life, hehe.

Thanks very much for the freebie, very impressed with it.
I will use it in my next Ambient compositions, surely.

Have a good day and Merry Christmas.

I've made a Kore template for this but it has some caveats. The problem is this ensemble is deliberately not set up to expose params for the morphing controls to a host - I can see why as it is a very dynamic instrument and trying to control that using automation could cause problems. However what we can do is work with it in a different way in Kore. So I have made a template with the morphing control turned off and instead mapped each variation from the snapshots to a Kore variations grid position. I also of course mapped all the params that can be automated to the Kore hardware. So now what we have is a degree of control over the morphing via the Kore variations grid bypassing the Reaktor version completely.

People can copy my example here if they want to create Kore versions of all sounds just save each variant (from the 8 variants in the snapshots that are provided with the ensemble) to an equivalent variations grid location.

What this means in practice is that we end up with a slightly different instrument. With the built in morpher turned on it creates its own variations in sound but the downside is you can't record these as automation in a host - people wanting to capture it would have to record straight to audio (as with MF and other ensembles of this type). However with the Kore version it is static until the user morphs it - so we have more control over the same sounds and it can be recorded as automation, but it loses some of that chaotic and dynamic quality in the process.

thank you for that aMUSEd, that is how I would want to work with it, no question. I was wondering about that very thing.

What? Parameters cannot be automated via VST? Really?

I thought this could be a strong point to allow serious sound mangling and experimentation...

Fully automatable in reaper x64

[non-exposed] 'parameters' in aMUSEd's sentence is modified by 'morphing'. if *no* parameters were exposed, aMUSEd would not have been able to contruct that template I don't think. I am controlling parameters in Kore.

In Kore, there might be a confusion if you Kore-morphed parameters that are designed to morph this other way...

Thank you very much!

Guys, do you know if it's possible to import ".wav" files in this synth? Thanks!
