![]() ![]() This brings the synth into completely different areas that were previously not possible with the other versions.Īnother addition is a new multi-FX section. This turns the Crude drone synth into a random sound generator. Below the wave select knobs, you can now find Krell buttons 1 and 2. In the last few months, Crude has also been further developed, and some exciting features have been added. They offer various controls: amp, frequency, waveform select, pulse, and sync. Three LFOs are available, one for each filter and for the output amp. And of course, it also hosts a good amount of modulation to throw your drone sounds into chaos. There are two lowpass filters (one for each oscillator) with 12 or 24dB/oct types (adjustable in view B, cutoff, and resonance controls. So you can infuse dirt in the filter or add warmth to the final sound. Great, you set the distortion pre- or post-filter in the bottom menu in view B. For additional crunch, you can apply a bit crusher and distortion FX to the oscillator. The core consists of two wavetable oscillators with 84 selectable waves, and octave, semitone, and fine-tune control. Everything is immediate and not hidden in thousands of menus. And like a hardware box, Crude can also be played. The layout is very hardware-compatible, in my opinion. The GUI reminds me of a bit of hardware instruments from Soma Labs, Moffenzeefmodular Stargazer or other boutique manufacturers. It is a fascinating drone synth that has been constantly developed since its release with the community’s help. An exciting release that you, as a Reaktor user shouldn’t miss is Crude.īolle released Crude almost a year ago. ![]() The wealth of free tools in the Reaktor User Library is worth seeing. ![]() That’s a shame because Reaktor is a fantastic tool mainly driven by the community. This is also partly due to the lack of promotion from Native Instruments. With a huge amount of new plugins coming onto the market every month, it is often forgotten how versatile and powerful the platform is. Reaktor, currently in the 6th generation, is a sound design environment where you can build everything from multi-engine synthesizers, effects, and MIDI generators up to entire modular synths with Eurorack-inspired modules (blocks). Crude by Bolle is a fabulous free experimental drone Synthesizer ensemble for Reaktor 6 (full) with Krell randomization and built-in FX. ![]()
