Native Instruments

Reaktor Session is the key to a world of fascinating software instruments. Featuring Reaktor 4’s audio engine and core instrument library, Reaktor Session is an outstanding collection and an entry to the vast world of Reaktor.

Reaktor Session includes synthesizers and resynthesizers, samplers and beat-loopers, groove and drum machines, surround and innovative effects, and revolutionary creations never seen before. Reaktor Session also includes access to the ever-growing online library on the Native Instruments web site for a virtually unlimited collection of instruments.

Each instrument includes a wide range of preset sounds for instant use, while innovative patch handling makes saving, sorting, intelligent randomisation, and morphing between sounds easy.

The sound quality of Reaktor Session is unsurpassed. The highly optimised DSP algorithms of the 32-bit Reaktor 4 engine and support for 192 kHz sample rate ensure a matchless sound with surprisingly efficient CPU usage.

Reaktor Session supports nearly every native plug-in interface. In addition to standalone operation with ASIO and Core Audio, Reaktor Session can also be used as a plug-in with VST 2.0 (Windows, Mac OS9, Mac OSX), Audio Units (OS X), and DXi (Windows). When used as a VST or Audio Unit plug-in, Reaktor Session supports smart window sizing, an unlimited number of instances, and automation.

Reaktor Session Instruments

Synthesizers

The Reaktor Session library offers a world-renowned collection of synthesizers, from analog-modeling to FM, from wavetable to additive. Each synthesizer includes many presets for an astonishing range of sounds right out of the box. The fourth-generation DSP algorithms of the Reaktor 4 engine ensure that the sound quality is exceptionally bright, warm, and clear.

Samplers and Transformers

The sampler and transformers included in Reaktor Session range from quick and convenient sampling to full granular workouts. Resynthesis instruments vary speed, pitch, and formant independently, and can even freeze the sound in time. Samples can easily be loaded via drag and drop from the integrated browser into a comfortable, graphical sample mapper.

Live Performance and Sequencers

Reaktor Session, with configurable MIDI control and latencies significantly lower than most hardware devices (with a high-performance ASIO or Core Audio soundcard), is an excellent tool for performing live. Naturally any of the included synthesizers, samplers, or effects can be played live, but a number of dedicated live performance tools are also included.

Effects

Reaktor Session includes several studio-ready effects. Smooth reverbs, vintage delays, and an amp simulator provide good starting points for sound mixing and exploration. But Reaktor Session also ventures into further territory, with granular freezing delays, vocoders, and more.

Reaktor Session will be available at the end of the first quarter 2003 at a recommended retail price of $ / EUR 249.

All DYNAMO users will be able to upgrade to Reaktor Session.
