SoulviaSound Redd

REDD - гибридный синтезатор, созданный для пользователей NI Kontakt. Автор - George Poenaru.
 В отличие от аналоговых синтезаторов, REDD ничего не генерирует, а использует волновые таблицы, полученные при записи популярных аналоговых генераторов, управляемых напряжением (VCO); генераторов шума; виртуальных аналоговых осциляторов, управляемых напряжением (DCO).

REDD is a hybrid synthesizer created for Kontakt owners and produced by George Poenaru. REDD can't be loaded in an older version than Kontakt 4.2. Before starting the presentation you must know that the main knobs were designed without cursor for one reason: tweaking sound wouldn't involve the eyes, so you'll use only your ears. In this moment REDD has 2 different nki's types: "REDD" and "REDD Lite". "REDD" uses 9 wavetable sources distributed on 3 layers and REDD Lite uses only 3 wavetable sources distributed on a single layer. Controls Panels:

Layer panel

The analog synthesizer uses VCO to generate different wave and noise types (sine, triangle, rectangular, saw tooth, pink noise, etc.), REDD doesn't generate anything, it uses a large wavetable recorded from popular analog VCO's, noise generators, and virtual analog DCO's. In addition, REDD wavetable contains analog tape hiss and analog HUMM. You can find 35 different wave types in each of the 9 sources in "REDD", or in each of the 3 sources in "REDD Lite". Recording was made note by note and the loop points have been carefully chosen, considering also the VCO pulse width modulation. The REDD wavetable contains:1xSine Wave Type
 1xTriangle Wave Type
 4xSaw tooth Wave Types
 7xRectangular Wave Types 2xPulse Wave Types
 5xCombination Wave Types
 1xLowF. Sine Wave Types
 4xNoise Types 4xPink Noise Types
 4xWhite Noise Types
 1xAnalog humm
 1xAnalog Tape hiss

On the layer panel you'll find 3 oscillator source menus, on/off switches, oscillator range switch, volume, pan, spread, filters for each of the 3 oscillator sources, amp and filters ADSR envelope for the entire layer, reverb send, delay send, chorus send, layer volume and a layer on/off switch.

Modulation and FX panel

On this panel you can control the 2 LFO's, time delay, chorus/phaser, modulation intensity and also you can select the reverb preset. The REDD reverb it's based on IR's and you browse through 7 type of reverbs:Ambiances
 Chambers
 Halls
 Non Linear
 Plates
 Rooms
 Spaces.

On the modulation matrix you can modify the modulations intensity for each of the 9 sources. What makes it special compared with other synthesizers, besides the consistent wavetable, is the isolation of each of the 9 sources: isolated modulation intensity and filters for each of the 9 sources
 isolated volume and filter envelope for each of the 3 layers
 isolated output for each of the 3 layers

Arpeggiator, Master Filter and Voicing panel

In this panel you can control the arpeggiator, the master filter, the 3rd LFO and the instrument voicing (legato, portamento and mono). Also, here you can route REDD layers to different Kontakt outputs. Please watch the video to getting started with REDD pages.
