Download: NI RAZOR Loop Six-pack

Just snagged the Native Instruments' RAZOR Reaktor synth that I blogged about yesterday.

Developed in conjunction with Berlin electronica artist, Errorsmith, this ensemble is targeted at the Dubstep community, but there's a helluva lot more to it than that.

With its über-pretty FFT display of harmonic motion, tons of really unique filters and a couple of beat-synced LFOs, RAZOR makes a deep cut into additive synthesis territory (sorry, couldn't resist the pun).

So, I decided to beat everyone to the punch and drop a RAZOR-edged free loop six-pack on ya, so you can get a taste for yourself.

Tech notes and linkage after the jump...

Tech notes:
- Everything's in the key of C minor-ish.
- All loops are 128 BPM.
- All loops are eight bars long.

  1. awesome. I wonder if NI has created new algorithms for the basses in razor or if they've just repurposed the ones used in massive. should be very interesting to see what new patches they've come up with!

  3. @ Alex - This instrument is built in Reaktor, which is a pretty open environment for programming synths. It uses additive synthesis for its oscillators, whereas Massive uses wavetable-like oscillators. They're totally different beasts :)

    Very nice 6 pack, Francis. I really like the way this synth sounds futuristic, but not so out there that it wont be useable. Gentle Wobbler is my fave :)
