Sound design for Electronic Instruments 2 was done by artists like BT, Exile, Jam El Mar, Junkie XL, Machinehead, Photek, Richard Davis, Richard Devine, Speedy J, Telefon Tel Aviv and others.
The eight instruments included in Electronic Instruments 2 are:
PHOTONE - Hybrid Master Synthesizer
A polyphonic powerhouse of a synthesizer that redefines the standard for Reaktor synthesis. Photone boasts an extensive array of special features including custom oscillator types, flexible filter routing, analogue "drift" and detuning emulation as well as a slew of advanced modulation options.
LIMELITE - Advanced Beat Composer
The weapon of choice for hyper modern beats of all sorts. Combining a powerful step sequencer with a careful selection of samples and an awesome array of effect processors, Limelite takes the beatbox concept to a whole new level.
METAPHYSICAL FUNCTION - Dynamic Soundscape Synthesizer
Far more than "just another synthesizer", Metaphysical Function offers a truly engaging audiovisual experience with a vast and unique sonic palette ranging from beautiful soothing tones to dark, disturbing soundscapes.
KRYPT - Granular Drum Machine
This is a loop generator quite unlike any other. Krypt consists of a programmable granular sampler wired to a six-channel sequencer with an intelligent pattern generation algorithm, and is capable of generating polymorphic beats which are simply unheard of.
AKKORD - Sequenced Chord Generator
By chaining together a highly specialized synthesis engine with a practical polyphonic pattern sequencer, Akkord excels at generating rich chord sequences as well as dynamic monophonic lines.
FAST FX - Advanced Performance Effects
A combination of six unusual effects that turn any track into something really unique - by slicing, filtering, gating, looping and "freezing" the signal in unspeakable ways. Fast FX also features a special 'live' snapshot system, which makes it perfect for live performance.
RESOCHORD - Programmable Polyphonic Resonator
This powerful resonator imprints harmonic structures onto any input signal, including percussive sounds with no existing harmonics. Resochord integrates six feedback units, each resonating at a different frequency, to generate rich and luscious chords from every material which is fed into it.
CYAN - Extended Vintage Chorus
A high-quality chorus and much more than that. Cyan offers many exciting sound-shaping possibilities through advanced features such as tempo synchronization and flexible delay modulation control.
All eight instruments are for use within Reaktor 4 and Reaktor Session and can therefore be deployed in all plug-in formats that Reaktor supports. Within Reaktor 4, all instruments can also be freely edited and modified.
The Electronic Instruments 2 collection will be available from 17th September 2004 for an MSRP of $119 USD / 99 EUR from authorized dealers and in the NI Online Shop.
