As a Reaktor 5 user since the fifth generation, I must continue to say that this software is absolutely worth the money. Especially if you look at the daily growing user library on the Native Instruments website. Today Donald Dada (User library name: salamanderanagram) released Anagram, a new free virtual analog modular synthesizer for the Reaktor 6 full version with front panel patching. I wrote already an article about some new instruments which includes this nice visaul add-on and Anagram is the next one. I tested already a bit, patch around with the cables and it sounds great. Don’t miss this great new modular synth ensemble for the Reaktor 6.
Anagram is a proof of concept synth using the Front Panel Patching framework I created a while back. Special thanks to Paule who designed the knobs. To connect two points, choose a send object (orange circle) and click on it. Then drag the mouse over to the desired receive point (white circle) and release the mouse button. A wire should be drawn on screen during this process to show you what is happening.
Two files are included – a six voice standalone ensemble, and a mono instrument designed to be used with the Blocks framework. The instrument version can receive up to six external signals from Blocks, and the user can use those signals freely as sound sources or modulators inside Anagram – you can even set up an external Blocks sequencer and have it control the pitch and gate of Anagram by using the ‘Aux Pitch’ and ‘Aux Gate’ receivers.
As the entire signal path of Anagram is completely arbitrary, you need to be careful with the setups you create to not have excessive feedback in the audio path – this is your responsibility, and I am not responsible for any poor decisions you may make. Keep your speakers low when experimenting.
