Tim Exile’s cancer recovery project is a generative, morphing groovebox

What began in a hospital bed as a Reaktor ensemble for making music into a video has become a fully generative, morphing take on a groovebox and music studio. Tim Exile is back in action with Shapeshift, out today. And this being in 2024, there’s even a promise: no generative AI.

CRUM HUM, new generative synth focused on soundscapes

More than just a 3-voice synth, CRUM HUM is a generative instrument with touch controls and knobs for dialing in aleatoric chords and melodies. It’s the latest boutique creation from Nyström, maker of the Crum Drum.

COLLIDZ° generates detailed ambient music, on its own or with a candy store worth of features

It’s a sequencer. It’s a generative music maker. It’s microtonal. It’s packed with synth engines and effects. But if other tools get you stuck in presets, this world-builder for Reaktor makes each preset and parameter a gateway to something creative and unexpected.
