CREATED WITH REAKTOR 6

BLINKSONIC° instruments are developed using Reaktor 6, a powerful and customizable modular software edited by NATIVE INSTRUMENTS.

All Blinksonic° instruments must be loaded inside REAKTOR 6 (Full version) in order to work properly. Then, they can be opened, through Reaktor 6, either standalone or as a VST/AU/AAX plug-in within your favorite DAW.

Additionally, lucky owners of a KOMPLETE CONTROL or MASCHINE controllers can use it with a seamless interaction. Some custom integrations have been prepared to work with the Native Map and Light Guide. 

Note : All ensembles are not compatible with REAKTOR player, even if they can run in a time limited demo mode. 

PLAYABILITY & OPTIONS

As much it’s a sound design tool, RUIDOZ is lightweight and really oriented for intensive live action.
All the control have been thought for a direct access on sounds and modulating the audio source in real time .

Since version 2.1.9, you can add a basic techno/electro Kick drum to your RUIDOZ° loop. This feature hided behind the bottom faceplate, provides an optional Kick Step Engine with 8 raw files.

In this section of the GUI, on the bottom-right, it’s also possible to select the current snapshot & bank.

THE ORIGIN : RUIDOZ v.1.1

A good opportunity to try the concept with 127 selected samples. An early version, compatible with Reaktor 5, but with less features, is still available and free for Reaktor owners, on the Reaktor User Library :

NEED MORE SOUNDS..

RUIDOZ also got its melodic gemini : AETØNZ°, an Hybrid Polyharmonic Sampler/synth based on the same granular and random engines.

ARTISTS :

“The RUIDOZ Reaktor instrument is absolutely wicked, it is one of the most interesting rhythmic generative ensembles I have ever used. The GUI is very clean and the internal sounds are incredible. Very inspired ! “

“It’s been a pleasure to discover this awesome Reaktor instrument! I’m always behind glitchy stuff and extreme fx devices to enrich my compositions, and Ruidoz is going to help a lot on this process. The integrated effects are pretty cool, specially the reverb but the samples included are awesome, all together makes Ruidoz one of my new favorite ensembles.”
