Native Instruments has introduced Reaktor Spark
(http://www.native-instruments.com/ReaktorSpark.info), an US$59 Kore
SoundPack based on the new “Spark” performance synthesizer designed
by NI founder and Reaktor mastermind Stephan Schmitt. It’s both a
library addition for Reaktor users as well as an instrument and sound
library for Kore 2 and the free Kore Player.
Spark was designed by Stephan Schmitt as a personal project over the
course of three years, with the goal to create a synthesizer with a
highly energetic sound character and maximum potential for real-time
expression. Completely realized in Native Instruments’ modular
synthesis studio Reaktor, Spark combines subtractive synthesis with
an array of internal feedback loops and various other special sound
shaping features. This allows its sonic output to cut through any
musical arrangement with vivid, animated and organic tones, Schmitt
says.
The Reaktor Spark sound pack built around Spark makes this
synthesizer accessible for users of Kore 2 and the free Kore Player,
providing 200 presets as well as sound tweaking options through the
unified Kore interface. Owners of Reaktor have access to the full set
of Spark’s parameter and control elements, and can also explore and
modify the complete signal flow structure of this extraordinary
instrument.
