Peter Dines has updated his Ghost Shift Reaktor ensemble with mappings for the Konkreet Performer iOS app!
"When I released Ghost Shift I didn't have live control in mind other than mapping a MIDI fader to the mix control. However, the recent update of Konkreet Performer got me thinking, and I realized there was an easy way to map Performer parameters to the individual delay taps in Ghost Shift."

Now available @ ReaktorTips.com - Loupe 2! The latest Reaktor Ensemble creation from Peter Dines is a super CPU friendly Sample-based Granular Beastie with an awesome auto-slice feature:
"What is Loupe? It's a Reaktor ensemble that assigns freeform sections of a sample to different MIDI notes and allows them to be pitched, reversed, resized, filtered and enveloped individually. The incoming MIDI notes do not repitch the sample directly , but you can manually adjust each slice / key's tuning to create more complex melodic variation out of your source sample.
It works fantastically well to transform and remix a five to ten second musical phrase, a beat loop, a few seconds of a full song, or even a field recording of a drunk guy swearing at a lamp post. There is music lurking everywhere, sometimes in other music, sometimes in the notes between the notes, in the hissy crackle of decaying note tails on old vinyl samples, and Loupe will help you find it."
Peter Dines creates some of my favorite commercial Reaktor ensembles, and his latest - the Chroma and Gris Gris Sequenced Monosynth looks killer! The Chroma sequencer section has a clean interface and the ability to both draw in patterns, play parts with a midi controller, add slur (glide) and a unique "Scribble" control to write in data. The Gris Gris synth section is a subtractive style synth with "Flux" controls, which add unpredictable instability to the oscillator mix.
"Chroma is a performance oriented monosequencer and VA carefully tuned for ergonomic ease of use and glitch free operation in standalone and plugin mode. Slur features in Chroma match up with legato and glide features in the Gris-Gris synth to create a slinky sinuous note articulation.
Sequences can be created and controlled via mouse, MIDI, Konkreet Performer, TouchOSC and Lemur. Since there is now full OSC support in the Reaktor plugin version, you can do everything with Chroma in your preferred DAW that you can do stand-alone. A dream come true!"
