Reaktor based probability module

Reaktor based probability module for drum n bass:

The only thing I can think to add, aside from what is covered in this video, is that this ensemble can be synchronized to any host app that supports vst. Only downfall is that it is based on an extremely slow tempo, and drum samples are not stretched to fit, only because i wanted to keep the original quality as well preserved as possible. Any questions and/or ideas relating to the modifications and/or the original programmers of any of the devices in this ensemble, are welcomed in the comments section of this video. Thanks for checking this out, hope you all enjoy.

Reaktor based probability module - Part 2 AutoPure Patch:

It's still a bit buggy, but this is the patch I've been sculpting for the past few months with Reaktor. I apologize that there is alot of "unseen" parts of this concotion, but I figure you can check out the previous video for an idea of how this ensemble is layed out. Although, there was just too many components here to be able to unfold and display each device being used at any given moment, and obviously this isn't about a pretty picture as much as it is about a roller coaster of potential with digital audio. This was done without an external controller, aside from the QWERTY config for the beatlookup module. There's way too many details to try and give you a full tour of this ensemble, so just check out the mangling, and feel free to ask whatever questions come to mind. Thanks for sitting through the botches and buffer pops, had to use ye ol' soundblaster for the screencapture ;) Also, the mstr clock was offset by a 1/4 note throughout the entire mix (forgot to push stop before play ;P), so all the drops and pickups are a bit weak, you'll notice the transients are offset in the beatlookup display when it appears. and fyi, wear some headphones (not earbuds!!!!) if you don't have decent reference monitors, i've recently found out that reaktor is incredible at emulating tape saturation, as you'll find with the kick drums and the lowend of the 303 module.

Reaktor Probability Module Part 3.mov:

Well, this is kind of Part 3 of the Reaktor Module, although it's more like a conceptual thesis statement on the interaction of the audio/visual spectrums. To go in to a bit more detail. The audio is just a quick screen/sound capture. The visual part is an After Effects plugin called Form by Trapcode, which allows certain parameters to be controlled by specified frequencies. This is kind of what I picture this module becoming as part of an art exhibit regarding interactive multimedia. Basically this kind of visual interaction would be happening in realtime and the Reaktor module could be configured to react to a passerby's motions and sound via a series of proximeters positioned around the exhibit. For now, enjoy the chaos, errr controlled chaos I guess :D One more thing, apologies for any latency pops, this put some serious stress on my cpu, and I'm amazed I was even able to capture this in realtime, so I figured I will share this either way, who cares if it's perfect, it's progress none the less. So on that note, enjoy!
