We are proud to introduce The Creative Physical Modeling Toolbox
for Reaktor 5, based on .modes of vibration. (or resonances). This
unique Toolbox allows you to create your own instrument models by
setting the amplitude and rate of each resonance (16-40 per resonator).
The resonance and amplitude data can be obtained from the free (Mac/PC)
analysis program PRAAT. For more general sound checks we often use
MakingMusic.

Unused resonances can be turned off for less CPU usage. Each
resonator has also a serie of overall parameters, like decay &
release, damping, (material)stiffness, mass, etc. Because the
Toolbox works in real-time, you can morph from, let.s say a
guitar string into a gong and back.

The Toolbox comes with a description of the tools and a large
instrument library, featuring both
pluck/struck/bouncing/rolling/scraping as well as wind
instruments.Listen to the MP3.s for an impression of the
instrument models, which are included. (I have added only some
reverb from Altiverb, other effects like delays, and even cross
synthesis comes from inside the Toolbox).

All the instruments are ensembles, for instant playing.

For more details and a list of included instruments, download
the manual. In the meanwhile the list is far from complete,
because of the fast growing number of instruments. Click here
