You can drag and drop these Koresounds into your Kore2 matrix to send program changes, monitor midi, transform sequencer events and much much more. Since Kore2 supports modular midi, you can use these koresounds like your existing midi effects. All the midi modules use reaktors channel message modules and are optimized to use as little cpu as possible.
Installation Instructions:
-Extract the toolpack.zip archive to a temporary location like your desktop.
-Move the toolpack folder to your default Reaktor User Ensemble Folder defined in your Reaktor preferences.
-Move the toolpack sounds folder to your Kore 2 user sounds path.
-Run Kore 2 and open the preferences, Database tab. Run the command Scan user folders.
-Type the word transform into the Kore 2 browser and your new sounds should appear.
Requirements:
Kore 2.0.1.007
Reaktor 5.12
Ensemble Notes:
Most Features of the ensembles are documented in the info sections of the relevant reaktor modules.
AudioTrigger:
Triggers midi notes from a monophonic audio input. Features include: an input display with learn button for automatically setting a trigger threshold based on the current noise level, an optional bandpass filter for rejecting any unwanted frequencies from triggering, a hold time knob for avoiding false triggers, a sensitivity knob for adjusting the output midi velocity, and a lowest allowed value knob. The Koresound contains a userpage with controls assigned for quick adjustment.
Midi Filter:
Filters midi events based on the conditions you choose for Type, Channel, Number Value. The first parameter in the filter lets you select which of the above midi parameters are included in the condition. For example, if you select 1; then the filter works on Type, like 'note' or 'controllers'. If you select 12; then the filter only removes events that match the type and channel. If you select 123, then only the events matching the type, channel and number will be filtered. Same for 1234 pertaining to the event value. All other events are let thru.
Midi FilterX8:
Just like previous but provides 8 midi filters at once and includes a master bypass. All filtering parameters are represented in 8 Kore User Pages allowing for dynamic recall of all 8 filters on a performance preset basis.
Clock LED:
Displays the current tempo and position using the Kore knobs as flashing lights. Uses reaktor snapshots to store knob positions and supports up to 16 steps for various flashing effects. The included koresound and ens is setup for 4/4 by default, but you may change this in the ensemble using the Length(numerator) and Div (denominator) to designate the time signature desired. You may sequence any combination of values for the knobs over 16 steps. Simply adjust the knobs to the position or brightness desired, and store as a snapshot from 1-16.
Midi Monitor:
Just like it sounds, it monitors incoming midi and displays the last received event.
Midi Monitor Z:
Midi Monitor Array displaying the last 20 events.
Bank / Program Change:
This Koresound sends and recalls Bank MSB(ctrl 0) and LSB(ctrl 32) and Program Change Messages. To be used in performance presets to recall banks in external gear like Roland modules that use msb and lsb for bank changes. Upon recall the ensemble will immediately send the MSB, then after 5 ms the LSB, then another 5 ms the program change. If your gear requires greater wait times, set them up in the reaktor structure.
Transform:
This includes the Transform and Transformer Koresounds. Transform can be used to generate midi events or monitor them. Transformer allows incoming events to be used as a trigger for outgoing events of a different message type. You can use this to Transform a midi stream of events.
Scale:
This ensemble and koresound forces incoming notes to a musical scale of your choosing. Includes random amount and frequency controls for randomizing the note input before the scale. Koresound features controls for Key, Scale, Transpose, Random Amount, Random Frequency.
SQP:
Sequencer from Reaktor 5 by Lazyfish adapted for Kore 2. The Koresound features controls for RUN, RECORD, INIT, Sequence and flow.
Chord:
This koresound and ensemble can generate 3 note chords from single notes that move through scales that you may define. For each voice in the chord, set a key, scale and scale degree.
Recorder / Player:
This ensemble allows you to playback or record wave files in Kore2 or otherwise. It features a graphical waveform interface for navigating the audio, and setting up loop regions. The white line shows the current play position, the blue line shows the loop start, and the redline shows the loop end. Basic Transport controls are provided including beatjump buttons if the tempo in the deck is set. The Recorder Koresound contains 2 user pages containing also the snapshot controls.
Notes:
Use this Koresound to add documentation to your Kore performances. For example these could be lyrics, or notes taken during rehearsal.
Rig Control 1 to Midi V2:
This ensemble allows you to use the Rig Control version 1 controller to send Midi within Kore 2. Or out of Kore2. The ensemble allows each rc control to send any single midi message or increment independently, or you may send multiple messages from a single rc control. The A view shows a graphic of the controller with sensitivity knobs for each button, a calibrate button and a selector for the control tone input. The B view contains the midi out modules and the RC control sends so you may freely assign the rc controls to any module control or output. For example you could send program change increments with rc buttons 1 and 3, use buttons 2 and 4 for notes, and the pedal for volume #7.
Kore2Midi:
This ensemble allows you to use the Kore Controller series to send midi messages within Kore, or to the external midi out of Kore. Included are 2 Koresounds: Kore2Midi which is the default sound, and Kore2Notes which contains a userpage where the kore buttons send midi notes, and the knobs set the pitches of those notes. Each button in the Kore2Notes will send note ons and offs, so beware changing the note pitch on the knob while holding a note. This will cause a hung note to occur which can be terminated with the Kore midi panic button in the global header.
Kore2Midi offers a total of 16 midi out modules that may be triggered singly or in shotgun fashion. Simply use the control sends in the B view to make any necessary assignments.
Kore2MidiX8:
Just like the above Kore2Midi ensemble, but has a total of 8 controller pages, and corresponding reaktor controls. This allows for sending 128 different messages from the Kore controls. The reaktor ensemble uses the panel index control to change between pages 1 - 8 on views A & B via the stacked macro panel element. Page 1 of this koresound and ensemble are set to control change messages. This version is useful with plugins like Spectrapork Atmosfear that utilize midi remote control of plugin parameters.
Kore2MidiX8Learn:
Same as previous but all buttons and knobs are assigned unique controller numbers so they may be used freely for midi learning without difficulty.
DEXFX:
This ensemble is built for Tempo Synced Live FX and is optimized for low cpu use and glitch free switching by employing Reaktor Core effect macros and core clock gates. The following FX are available: Lofi, Filter, Drool, GLEX, Stereo Delay, Stereo Imager, Reverb. The DEXFX Koresound contains 8 pages covering most fx parameters and a QUICKMIX page for triggering and tweaking all effects at once. The Mix knobs function as off switches in the zero position to save cpu.
The DEXFX ensemble panel uses stacked macros for a small screen footprint. The top row of FX switches focus the fx display to the desired effect and the bottom row of switches activate various effects. There is a master mix knob and enable button to control the entire ensemble. The snapshots within dexfx are basic including a few for the filter.
