KONTAKT – 454 MB
Cracklefield是Kontakt的一种高级生成音序器，具有蜂窝多向和互动模式，可以创造出奇妙的独特音乐乐句和节奏。
Cracklefield是一台独特的生成音乐机，其灵感来自蜂窝自动机和早期的视频游戏。我想要一个定序器，其中的序列元素可以相互交互，从而创建动态演变的模式。 Cracklefield中的音序器正在使用称为场的网格二维细胞空间。
可以通过光标读取或修改该字段，用作序列音轨的播放位置。
在基本音序器中，您有多个轨道，每个轨道都有自己的一维空间，可以向前或向后读取。
在Cracklefield中，所有轨道共享相同的二维空间，每个轨道都由光标表示。游标可以在任何方向（水平，垂直或对角线）上以自己的速度行进。可以将它们设置为从场边缘或障碍物（这里称为“墙”）反弹。有趣的是，光标可以相互反弹。
想象一下几个音序器音轨互相打“乒乓”。
插入自己的声音
我决定将其打包为一组声音，这很可能是没人能听到的。
主要是声学/电声，非常规，实验或不寻常的样品套件，包括中空的苏联莱莱卡莱卡舞曲，由接触式麦克风制成的铜棒槌，实验吉他装置，玻璃编钟或拉丝crash片。
而且，它的设计使添加新声音变得相对容易，只需复制一组，放置新样本并刷新乐器即可。
不断发展的格局
游标可以与场本身交互，绘制，擦除或翻转单元格，建造或破坏墙壁。以及移动整个字段的行或列。这是构建不断发展的模式的游乐场。
Cracklefield也可以使用一种名为“ Langton蚂蚁”的数学现象来为光标设置动画。蚂蚁基本上是一个游标，它会根据其移动的单元格类型来改变方向。例如，它在一个已填充的单元格上向右转，在一个空的单元格上向左转，从而翻转它已访问的单元格的状态。
听起来很简单，但令人着迷的事实是，它创建了令人惊讶的复杂结构。
在Cracklefield中，您可以组合几种不同类型的蚂蚁来探索各种可能的生成模式设置。
MIDI输出
Cracklefield具有内置的音符记录器，它允许用户捕获多通道MIDI片段，然后可以通过拖放机制将其导出到DAW。
预设系统
Crackelfield可以将预设分配给按键开关，也可以将其外部存储在nka文件中。可以无缝加载预设，而无需停止音序器。
您还可以过滤要加载的设置的哪一部分。例如，仅加载不同的字段内容，或仅更改声音。
它带有120个预设，以展示一些可能的设置提示。还有一个创建随机预设的功能，这是一种探索乐器的有趣方式。
ARP
Cracklefield可以充当预言家。
可以将每个光标绑定到当前保持的和弦的音符之一。
可以对Arp模式进行调制（根据光标位置进行转置），进行转置并适合比例模式，而每个光标可以播放不同的声音。
琶音非常有趣。
要求：Kontakt 5.8.1或更高版本的完整版本。

Cracklefield is an advanced generative sequencer for Kontakt featuring cellular multi-directional and interactive patterns which can create wonderfully unique musical phrases and rhythms.
Cracklefield is a unique, generative music machine, inspired by cellular automatons and early videogames. I wanted a sequencer where sequence elements could interact with each other, creating a dynamically evolving patterns. The sequencer in Cracklefield is using a grid, two-dimensional cellular space called the field.
The field can be read or modified by cursors, serving as a sequence track playing position.
In the basic sequencer you have several tracks, each having its own one dimensional space, which can be read forward or backward.
In Cracklefield all tracks are sharing the same two-dimensional space, each track being represented by a cursor. Cursors can travel in any direction, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, each at it’s own rate. They can can be set to bounce off field edges or obstacles, here named ‘walls’. The fun part is that cursors can bounce off each other.
Imagine several sequencer tracks playing ‘pong’ with each other.
INSERT YOUR OWN SOUNDS
I decided to package it with a set of sounds that, most likely, nobody has already.
There are, mostly acoustic/electroacoustic, unconventional, experimental or unusual sample sets, featuring a hollow soviet balalaika, copper rod mallets made with contact microphones, experimental guitar setups, glass chimes or wire-brushed crash cymbals.
Also, it is designed, to make adding new sounds relatively easy, just duplicate a group, put new samples and refresh the instrument.
EVOLVING PATTERNS
Cursors can interact with the field itself, paint, erase or flip cells, build or destroy walls. As well as shift whole field rows or columns. It’s a playground for building evolving patterns.
Cracklefield can also use a mathematical phenomenon, named ‘Langton’s ant’ to animate cursors. An ant is basically a cursor, which changes direction depending on what kind of cell it steps on. For example, it turns right on a filled cell and turns left on an empty cell, flipping the state of cell it has visited.
Sounds very simple, but the fascinating fact is, it creates surprisingly complex structures.
In Cracklefield you can combine several ants of different types to explore a variety of possible generative pattern setups.
MIDI OUT
Cracklefield has a built-in note recorder, it allows the user to capture multichannel MIDI clips, which then can be exported to a DAW by drag’n’drop mechanism.
PRESET SYSTEM
Crackelfield can assign presets to keyswitches or store them externally in nka files. Presets can be loaded seamlessly, without stopping the sequencer.
You can also filter which part of the setup to load. For example, only load different field content, or only change sounds.
It comes with 120 presets, to showcase some possible setup ideas. There’s also a function creating random presets, which is a fun way to explore the instrument.
THE ARP
Cracklefield can act as an apreggiator.
Each cursor can be bound to one of notes from the chord being currently held.
Arp patterns can modulated (transposed depending on cursor position), transposed and fit to a scale pattern, while each cursor can play a different sound.
The arp is great fun to tinker with.
REQUIREMENTS: full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or newer.
