Native Instruments has released Skanner, a free synthesizer by Stephan Schmitt.
Stephan Schmitt brings Skanner, – a Reaktor synth built on a “unique synthesis architecture, ” according to NI.
Skanner mixes sampler and synthesizer. The two oscillators ‘scan’ a sample; at low frequencies you get the ‘scratch’ sound of the sample being read back and forth, while at higher frequencies the dominant force is the oscillators being shaped by the sample waveform. The resulting sounds are described as “raw, dirty and unpredictable” – from simple sine waves to walls of noise.
Skanner for Reaktor 5 Player and Reaktor 5 (requires version 5.6.2 or higher) is available as a free download.
