French artist and sound designer Sylvain Stoppani of Blinksonic° has announced the release of updates for its RUIDOZ°, AETØNZ°, SUBSTANZ° and VOZ° ensembles, bringing the original sound concepts to the free Reaktor Player platform.
As Native Instruments announced it few weeks ago, Reaktor powers now third-party synths and effects.
I am delighted to confirm that all BLINKSONIC° instruments are now formatted to be compatible with the free REAKTOR PLAYER.They can be opened either in standalone or as a VST/AU/AAX plug-in within your favorite DAW. This, with no extra cost, because for now it’s not necessary to have a full license of Reaktor 6 to run RUIDOZ°, AETØNZ°, SUBSTANZ° and VOZ°.
AETØNZ°
AETØNZ° (19.99 EUR) is a polytonal sampler with a set of classic synthesis parameters, processed by global envelope, filter, LFO, effects, and pitch components.
Add some adrenaline with a pure random concept ! Play further notes in scale… You get random combination of textures that stay in tune.
The sound is moving… but the harmony is still ! Based on 2 maps of 114 original acoustic and synthetic tones, AETØNZ° offers 9 banks with 207 snapshots of prepared hybrid sounds.

RUIDOZ°
RUIDOZ° (19.99 EUR) is an electronic percussion generator and sample mangler. This sound design instrument aims to create original sequences and a wide variety of sound textures.
No more static rhythm and stated percussion loops… Just (des)humanized the basic pulse and the ambience of your beats with random function & a collection of 340 one shot samples.
Over 300 original glitchy beats, noisy percussions rhythms and either soundscapes, HUD sounds, semi harmonic phrases and mechanical riffs are included.

- New NKS mapping (Light Guide, Native Map®).
