To celebrate the 25th anniversary of GENERATOR, the precursor to REAKTOR, Native Instruments have released TWENTY FIVE, a time-limited free instrument that celebrates this quarter-century of sounds by creating an instrument that allows you to blend the old with the new and create the sounds of the next quarter-century.
The limited-edition TWENTY FIVE is a powerful, free instrument designed to let future generations recombine and reimagine Native Instruments’ sonic legacy into something entirely new. As part of the KONTAKT Play Series, it comes mapped with intuitive macro controls, powerful FX, and a built-in sequencer.
What Is TWENTY FIVE?
TWENTY FIVE offers a simple but powerful interface built around two sound source layers and six macro controls. Five additional views—Sound, FX, Sequencer, Macros and Settings—provide further controls and editing options for different parts of the synth engine. The six macros can be assigned to various dedicated sound parameters for instant sound sculpting from any view.
The Sound Editor covers all sound generating features, including traditional subtractive synthesizer controls and lo-fi sound-shaping tools. In the FX Editor, you can create custom effects chains for further tonal control and expression.
In the Macro Editor, you can assign and manage the six macros to suit your needs.
In the Settings view, you can tweak how the synthesizer reacts to your playing style and how notes are prioritized for each layer.
Using the sequencer, you can create a 16-step melodic phrase, with velocity modulation for control over dynamics. Six additional sequencing lanes provide further control over the six macros, allowing for precise and nuanced sound design, as well as dramatic and unexpected discoveries.
