"Blinksonic family is growing with the release of a new breed ensemble for Reaktor 6.

Please welcome to FR3TZ ! String Harmonics meet Euclidean Beats... in a Granular Cloud.

FR3TZ is a self sequenced instrument which offers to play chromatically a full set of guitar harmonics samples, with the power of granular synthesis and a suite of 6 effects.
The 3 track-mono-step sequencer can be programmed in a similar way as an Euclidean rhythm generator.

FR3TZ is an unconventional piece of instrument for creating generative patterns both melodical and rhythmical, the whole being encapsulated inside a modern user interface, inspired by « Material Design », which reinforces the user experience.
This instrument can produce amazing mechanical or non linear melodic patterns but also percussive beats and generative soundscapes. 177 snapshots have been crafted to illustrate the kind of unstable loops and unusual phrases that can be created with it.

FR3TZ also explores the random concept again, in order to provide some humanized effects on your note patterns. The sequencer is coupled with a note selector (a 1 octave virtual keyboard. This selector allows to choose which sound of the map will be aleatory launched on any incoming gate events.

Travel over the waveform with the mouse to obtain glitchy effects.. Combine the 6 effects (Pitchshifter, Filter, Distortion, Delay, Chorus, Reverb) in order to sculpt the shapes of your tones.. Inject some crazy movement on the master mix with Binaural/Doppler effect... This extensive set of features combined between each other, provides a unique recipe for designing sounds.

FR3TZ, even more than a sound bank or a virtual instrument, is a real physical sonic palette.
You will discover how surprising it can be to use string harmonics as an oscillation source, transform them as an atonal percussive element. Thanks to granular synthesis, experiment how to sound big with the infinitely small.

THE CONCEPT

String harmonics have a particular sound rendering and easily provide one of the most mysterious and subtle sonic mental images when they are punctually used in a guitarist performance. Obtained with a slight pressure on the strings with the tip of the finger raised above the frets, the harmonics deliver one of the most fascinating sounds that can be extracted from a guitar.
