NEKTON
Plankton is your friendly Kontakt device for building beautiful, organic system music.
Like a warm ocean of diaphanous Crustacea, looping, colliding and generating harmonized polyrhythms PLANKTON is easy to use (once you get your head around it) and a quick way of creating gorgeous and unexpected results.
BENTHOS
Each note of the sequence section has its own sequencer and algorithmic playback engine, with a suite of effects for individual sound sculpting.
83 Custom IMPULSE RESPONSES per articulation to create natural and impossible spaces. Hybrid IR's can transform a piano into a cowbell, high hat or radio interferance. DRONE IR's add tuned Leslie organ for extra planktonitude.
