Messing around with a GUI design for a little Reaktor plugin. About a decade late for the platform (since NI became equity bait and pretty much stopped innovating). A Reaktor to VST wrapper would have been amazing.

For those of you with NI Reaktor, I just released an 8-tap stereo delay I've been working on (and very much off) since 2020. It's based on the architecture of the Korg DL8000R but I've added a diffusion network to the feedback loop.

Appreciate I've become a repost machine but just workin' on my own shit and not sure everything (anything?) needs a comment from me atm.
New followers, I am real, unlike many of you. Here's some humanity confirming content: Forest scared by something [unknown] outside.

Bought a streamdeck for audio work, which obviously, immediately turns into me designing my own icons for it. Combined with some of the TC desktop controllers makes for a nice mouse-free mixing system. Plus Forest for company, who doesn't mind sonics unless it's water sounds, which freak him out.

Previous post brought to you by wanting to share a snippet of something I found in my archive whilst sorting through it over the weekend. No recollection of making this track (or this start to it anyway).
Much of the archive is crap, most are, but keep 'everything'.

Woke this morning to find my cat watching the sun rise. Sometimes I feel like he's here to teach me something profound, if only I'd listen.

This little fella started 2024 as a stray and ended it with a favourite blanket (and a favourite side of his 2nd favourite blanket).

Feel a little strange having lots of new followers. Hello. This is my resue cat, Forest. He's really a great guy.

Huh. After 25 years (!!!) my OB12 suddenly threw a pretty aggressive memory error, cycling through all my programs and patches telling me one by one that they were lost... but they aren't lost and everything's working again now as if nothing's happened. Wut. Cool. Cool...

Update. Forest seems to be settling in. He doesn't go full-ball or shrimp, but does a good half-shrimp with good form and points for expression.
Bizarrely he doesn't jump-up on stuff, shelves, sideboards, equipment. It's weird, I don't trust it. Also, turns-out that humans can be woken by smells.

Checking pre-masters away from the studio (... in bed).
Absolutely loving the Chord Mojo 2 as a proper high-quality DAC that I can run from a tablet.

Coppola's love of German Expressionism looks to be present and although I'm not sure how involved he was in the final film, there's obvious Ron Fricke influence.

New digs pt2. GIK acoustics have got quite a cool room visualiser. A few new things for me to build (superchunks in the corners) but otherwise this is all existing traps I've made previously. Feel like I need more scattering & less damping though. gikacoustics.co.uk/room-acousti...

Packing things and came across a rare photo of teenage me DJing in some woods. Not sure whose copy of Arrow 'Hot Hot Hot' that is. Floorkiller! 😅
