Toybox Tangle Pack Released

[David@TOYBOX]

We are excited to announce the release of the latest Toybox pack for Reaktor Blocks. This one is super special.

Toybox announce the release of the Tangle Pack

300 advanced Reaktor blocks for modern sound design. The Tangle Pack is a new suite of powerful blocks based on legendary Eurorack modules, with some unique blocks for advanced synthesis and sound creation.

Features include:

• Tangle Oscillator, a powerful oscillator block that fuses extreme phase distortion (twisting, warping, repeating and mixing basic waveforms for knotted and twisted sounds) with FM synthesis, great for thick, harmonically rich timbres. The block also features 7 lo-fi modes which authentically model vintage convertors with gritty digital noise and jitter, great for dirty old-school digital synth sounds.

• A flexible analog modelled filter with 8 different models (Moog, Korg, Roland etc). A variety of filter slopes plus notch and comb filters are available. All filter types can be flexibly re-ordered and morphed.

• A high quality wavefolder block closely modelled on the timbre effect found in the Buchla Easel.

• A collection of powerful modulation blocks, including the Ramp Generator block, based on one half of the Make Noise 'Maths' function generator Eurorack module, plus a flexible multi-breakpoint envelope generator and a collection of randomising blocks: chaos, brownian motion etc.

• A curated selection of 'Nano' utility blocks, updated and revised specially for the pack.

• A collection of high-quality and innovative effect and processing blocks based on popular Eurorack modules.

• A flexible global snapshots system. Snapshots can be stored for each individual block or for the whole rack, then selected and morphed using the Snapshots block.

• Updated Nano Sequencer blocks included for building generative sequences, arpeggiators or generating complex phrases. Multiple Sequencer Segment blocks can be daisy-chained for a ratcheting style step sequencer of any length. The Conditional block works using a similar idea to the ‘conditional trigs’ found in the Elektron series of groove boxes, great for organic evolving sequences.

• Bleeding-edge dsp and analog modelling techniques.

• All blocks are also available as polyphonic versions as well as an extensive collection of polyphonic 'Nano' Blocks, available for the first time.

The pack can be used without any limitations with the free Reaktor Player (no need for the full version of Reaktor).

INTRO PRICE $45.00 (normal price $64)

This looks amazing!

The entire collection from Toy Box Audio covers almost every conceivable sound design task you could imagine... and then some. I can't wait to check out the new pack. If you're interested in modular synthesis and the powerful sounds it can create, you'll find everything you need to scratch that creative itch on their website. Fantastic work David!!

Looks great! When does the intro price end?

Till the end of the month.

Here's a quick video showing some sounds from the tangle oscillator and some of it's 'lo-fi' modes. Only the oscillator's 'sine' waveform shape is used here, using the phase distortion knobs (Repeat, Bend & Pulse Width) for some very 'bubbly' noises -->

That's great! Is there any discount for owners of all other packs? It seems at a quick glance that some Nano stuff is included in Tangle? Am i right?

Just the intro price.

There are updated Nano utilities in the pack so that it can be used standalone. The core of the pack is a set of completely unique blocks with new designs.

There's a huge collection of polyphonic Nano blocks in there too, which haven't yet been available. At 300 blocks in total it's pretty good value.

Yeah. 300 blocks is deep. Stoked to see all the poly modules in there

Great release! Kudos for single-handedly propping up the Reaktor blocks ecosystem

[David@TOYBOX]

This is the "Alkaline Sequence" rack that is included with the Tangle Pack. It's a good demonstration of some of the raunchy clangorous tones possible with the 'Folder' block (based on the timbre effect found in the Buchla Easel).

This is great! Sounds amazing!!

Thanks for the videos.

Here is a cheatsheet for the Tangle Oscillator included in the Tangle Pack:



The Tangle Oscillator is capable of some pretty complex and harmonically rich sounds. It is based on a fusion of phase distortion (twisting, warping, repeating and mixing basic waveforms for knotty twisted sounds) with FM synthesis. There is a full description of the block and it's various knobs and ports here:

Thanks for posting this, very useful!
