Experimental / IDM Roulette

Cycles & Spots deliver another great synth for Native Instruments Reaktor, this one is an endless randomizable experimental sound generator. ChaosLab can play by itself and is also playable via MIDI input. It's basically a modular system that literally configures itself with the push of a button. That way you can create hundreds of sequences / drones / sounds which also can modulate themselves endlessly. Naturally you can also manipulate these outcomes with all the given controls and shape them further, this goes for beginners and advanced users alike, because a lot of effort went into the fine tuning of all the dials so that it always sounds interesting. This instrument is a fruitful inspiration machine, you could use the output directly or maybe record it and further design the sound, maybe cut out pieces, or feed a granular sampler with it, or play it rhythmically with your MIDI controller / keyboard.

Cycles & Spots crafted 326 rhythm Wav loops, in particular beats and percussion or a blend of these two. These are all odd in a good way, either in sound design or rhythmic, meaning the goal here was to create unusual, more interesting loops. The content can be used for experimental music genres and to spice up others here and there with some sprinkle of head-turning sounds / rhythms. Partly (one-shot) sample based beats were created and edited / twisted, and partly synthesizing came to work in the sound design process. Other times both types were blended. All in all a diverse pack for multiple use scenarios.

Cycles & Spots deliver the sequel to SampleMod, a sequenced sample slicer with different play modes and lots of modulation options. New in this version is the slicer using (adjustable) transient detection, 300 new handpicked samples that work well with the instrument (importing possible), more flexible LFOs (routing), various randomize / reset buttons and better modulation visualization. The implemented samples total 2 Gigabytes, so lots of possibilities to create your own presets. CPU usage is decent so more than one instance could be layered to create more complex soundscapes / songs, although using only one can create interesting long modulating results.
