Antonio Blanca, creator of the Reaktor instruments NOD-E and DRON-E, has announced the release of a new granular sampler for Native Instruments Reaktor 6.5.
Offering a wide range of sonic possibilities for sound designers, experimental musicians, film composers and sound artists, MONTAG-E is designed for those interested in microsound exploration and creating complex, unique sonic textures.
MONTAG-E is a granular sampling tool that allows for detailed manipulation of audio, ideal for creating sounds ranging from microsounds to abstract soundscapes, sound effects, ambiences, glitch, noisy textures and more. With four simultaneous granular playheads, the instrument allows for deep exploration of samples, creating anything from minimalistic to complex grain clouds. Additionally, its individual audio outputs are designed to create quadraphonic material, providing flexibility for multi-channel sound creation.
MONTAG-E is also designed to be fully MIDI-controllable, allowing for real-time interaction. Whether you’re performing live or experimenting in the studio, you can easily control parameters on the fly, enhancing your creative process.
