Particle Of God

Particle Of God free soundbank by Noizefield Instruments

Particle Of God virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Reaktor, by Noizefield Instruments.

Particle Of God is an ensemble effect for Native Instruments Reaktor. The idea behind this effect is to create a delay where the delay time is accelerated. The single delays are getting faster (or even slower) for each time the delay is repeated. To get a “musical” result, the delay time and also the delay acceleration is synchronized in time and tempo.

Several parameters can be changed in real-time an tweaked by the step-sequencers.

There is also an template for hexler touchOSC available.
