Blinksonic° has announced the release of CATALIZ°, a playable granular synthesizer and beatlooper instrument for Native Instruments Reaktor 6.
CATALIZ° offers a refreshed approach to produce playable harmonics and beats or creative sound design.
Much more than an edition tool, CATALIZ° is an authentic instrument for granular synthesis real time performances. One cursor action on the pad can produce drastic and expressive modulation and harmonic changes. Thanks to the second GUI view of the instrument, which comes with a wider XY pad, the cursor can also be controlled by internal or external touchscreens.
