The nodes are propelled throughout the XY field by two polyphonic LFOs (one for each axis). Movement along the X-axis triggers notes movement along the Y-axis determines the triggered note’s velocity (in other words, a note that is triggered at a high Y-value will play more loudly than one that is triggered at a low value. In NOD-E, 8 nodes travel around an XY-field and trigger notes when they cross certain boundaries (defined by you).
You might think of NOD-E as the sequencer that you get when the nodes in Spiral reach escape velocity and break out of orbit. In this video, Brent Kallmer of BluewaterVST takes us through the wonderful NOD-E ensemble by Antonio Blanca, an algorithmic music machine that generates MIDI note data based on the positions of nodes moving on the instrument panel.

The versatility of these two delays allows you to transform audio (from either Lurker’s sampler or from an external source) into everything from rhythmically precise textures to trippy comb-filtered psychedelia.Įnjoy the video, and when you want to try Lurker yourself, it’s right there in the Factory tab of your Reaktor browser sidebar. It uses a complex and powerful modulation sequencing system to control various parameters on two independent delay units. Lurker is one of REAKTOR’s most beguiling effects-and also one of its most inscrutable.
This is nuts since Reaktor 5 was released in 2005! Brent is doing a fantastic job documenting and exposing wonderful factory ensembles that were, truth be told, sort of unceremoniously dumped on the world with little fanfare or explanation. I was pondering recently how Reaktor 5 was so far ahead of its time that people are only catching up to it now. Brent Kallmer is back with one of his great explorations of an under-appreciated Reaktor factory library classic.
