Reaktor Chimes

Another great additive synthesis based synth for Native Instruments Reaktor from Cycles & Spots, great for the genres Ambient, Cinematic, Abstract and even for some danceable stuff.

It comes with 100 presets, half of them are controlled via MIDI input and the other 50 make use of the inbuild step sequencer. The presets range from beautiful to weird in a good sense and percussive elements.

The instruments allows you to step or scan through 4 additive oscillators to create interresting sounds and sequences.

The scanning is done by an LFO which can be set from sine to random, so ongoing modulation could be set up. There are 2 combfilters included, one for the left and one for the right channel to manipulate the stereo field.

A resonator can make the sounds string like and add a spring reverb style character. Speaking of, there is an extensive reverb to round things of.
