COLLIDZ° – Generative Sequencing Station & Synthesizer.

-> A NEW PARADIGM AROUND HARMONIC SCORES CREATION, MELODIC SEQUENCES PROGRAMMATION, AND REAL-TIME NOTE INTERPRETATION

-> PRESELECT THE NOTES/FREQUENCIES YOU WANT TO PLAY – TWELVE NOTES OF POLYPHONY TO RULE THEM ALL

-> DEFINE INDIVIDUAL TEMPO SIGNATURE & RHYTHMIC RULES FOR EACH NOTE SELECTED…. AND LAUNCH THEM MANUALLY OR THROUGH A MODERN POLYRHYTHMIC SEQUENCER

->FIND VARIATIONS TO YOUR SEQUENCES WITH SMART POSITION & TEMPO WRAPPERS, RANDOMIZATION FUNCTIONS & POWERFUL TRANSPOSITION FEATURES.

->CHOOSE FROM CLASSICAL SCALES AND MODES, SET YOUR CUSTOM TUNINGS, OR EXPLORE UNKNOWN TEMPERAMENT SETTINGS AND MICROTONAL SCALES.

REQUIREMENTS

– a MAC or a PC with a FULL version of Reaktor 6.4.3     (CAUTION: the .ens is not encrypted for Reaktor Player)

– A screen resolution with a minimum of 1920 x 1200 megapixels for a full display on the screen. COLLIDZ° panel dimension is 1660×1115 megapixel.
