The Power Of Digital

Native Instruments has harnessed the power of FM synthesis. The strengths of digital are manifest in FM8’s powerful audio engine which generates breath-taking, brilliantly dynamic FM sound in pristine quality. With its emphasis on ease of use, the FM8 brings a high degree of simplicity to the otherwise intricate process of FM synthesis, delivering unsurpassed depth, brilliance, and dynamism.

A central aspect of FM8 is usability. The "Easy Edit Page" offers a clearly-designed interface with simple controls that adjust more complex parameters automatically, allowing you to take a far more musical approach to FM synthesis. The more detailed editing pages have been improved for easier handling and are all accessible with just one click. FM8 lets you play straight away!

FM8 offers an unprecedented range of features and effects. The classic crystalline bells and keys are perfect for creating melodic and percussive sounds of the highest quality. A unique arpeggiator, a revolutionary sound morphing feature, and a large selection of new, charismatic effects add countless sound-shaping possibilities. The sonic potential of FM8 goes well beyond the confines of conventional FM synthesis.

Features

• Powerful FM Synthesis Engine: FM8 harnesses the strengths of digital synthesis, delivering dynamic and high-quality FM sound with unmatched depth and brilliance.
• User-Friendly Interface: Features an "Easy Edit Page" for simplified control of complex parameters, allowing for a more musical and intuitive approach to FM synthesis.
• Advanced Sound-Shaping Features: Offers an arpeggiator, sound morphing, and a range of effects, pushing beyond traditional FM synthesis boundaries.
• FM Matrix for Easy Modulation Control: The matrix allows quick and intuitive connections between operators, offering an overview of modulation settings without switching between pages.
• Detailed Operator Editing: Each operator has its own editing page for waveform selection, frequency adjustments, MIDI responsiveness, panning, and amplitude shaping via a multi-breakpoint envelope.
• Comprehensive Operator Overview: View all operators' key parameters on a single page for fast setup and customization.
• Advanced Envelope Control: The Envelope Expert Page provides simultaneous control and viewing of multiple operator envelopes, allowing for synchronized or individualized shaping of amplitude responses.
• Morph Square for Sound Manipulation: Morph between four different sounds with a movable handle, offering automated, MIDI-controllable morphing and sound randomization for creative experimentation.
• Dynamic Arpeggiator: Transforms MIDI input into rhythmic or melodic sequences with options for transposition, reordering notes, and step accentuation. Comes with 48 templates and full control over tempo, shuffle, and velocity.
• Twelve High-Quality Effects: Includes Overdrive, Tube Amp, Phaser, Flanger, and more, offering a wide range of sound-sculpting possibilities with easy wet/dry control and crossfading.
• Extensive Preset Library: Contains over 1200 presets, showcasing the full range of FM synthesis with dynamic digital pianos, bold brass, and unique arpeggio and effect racks.
• Instant Search Functionality: Easily browse and find presets quickly within the comprehensive sound library.

Creative Kick and Bass

Low end forms the foundation of almost all electronic music, so getting great kick and bass from the start makes all the difference. TRK-01 marries classic mixing techniques with innovative sound design, sequencing, and modulation, so you’re always inspired to write solid and exciting kick-bass combinations. Get your new tracks rolling quicker and sounding bigger than ever before – start with TRK-01.

Kick

The Kick module is built for versatility, ease-of-use, and expressive fun, and relies on a powerful combination of two sound layers: sampled or synth-based. Each layer has drive and a multimode filter (ideal for blending the low end of an 808-style kick with the transient crack of an acoustic sample, for example). The combined kick is further shaped using effects, envelopes, and sequenced modulation, and can be tuned automatically to a master tune setting, avoiding bass frequency clashes.

Bass

The Bass module offers total expressive freedom with a choice of five synth engines, allowing anything from epic super saws to underground sine subs. An innovative Ducker module lets you quickly apply creative sidechain-style effects or surgical mix cuts to the level, EQ, FX sends, and insert effects parameters. Like the Kick module, Bass features a number of modulators, and all parameters can be controlled by the step sequencer.

Sequencer 

Independent step-sequencers for Kick and Bass each offer extensive sequencing and modulation controls – far more than traditional step-sequencers. Every step allows a number of controls, such as note-on, velocity, pitch, length (for bass), and gate. But the real fun starts with the step-modulation controls. Parameter Focus lets you draw in sequence modulation for any Kick or Bass parameter (filter sweeps, for example). Step Locks then allow any number of fixed parameter values for a given sequencer step: Simply click the Lock button for that step then draw in as many settings as you like – just for that step.

Effects

TRK-01 offers a range of tailored processing types and sound-shaping techniques, starting with a user-selectable insert effect for both Kick and Bass modules.

Delay and Reverb sends provide key controls in a simple interface, with additional features for huge creative potential. Both feature their own dedicated stereo output for external mixing.

Finally, two master inserts – a harmonic bass enhancer, followed by a saturation-capable compressor/limiter module – allow creative enhancement and performance-ready weight.

NKS/Komplete Kontrol

TRK-01 integrates seamlessly with Komplete Kontrol and Maschine for even more expressive sound-design and enhanced playability. The layout of key TRK-01 controls mirrors the hardware layout, with intelligent pre-mapping of additional controls. Light Guide keyboard mapping enables intuitive hardware control of powerful performance features such as hot-swapping of sequencer patterns and complete module set-ups for both Kick and Bass. Meanwhile, enhanced browsing, complete with instant patch audio previews, makes finding the perfect starting point even easier.

BLOCKS PRIMES is a collection of 23 advanced Blocks that deliver character, depth, and exceptional sound. Sound generators, sequencers, effects – everything runs in REAKTOR or the free REAKTOR PLAYER, and extends the basic framework provided by BLOCKS BASE. Whether you just discovered the magic of modular synthesis, or you've got a dozen racks at home, BLOCKS PRIMES adds life to your setup – hardware or otherwise.

BLOCKS PRIMES offers a wide array of synthesis and modulation methods. The Kodiak family includes two sequencers, an oscillator, a morphing filter, and an experimental noise generator. The four West Coast elements are inspired by synth pioneer Don Buchla and his playful approach to synthesis. Some of Native's most acclaimed synth technology is represented, with elements from DRIVER and MONARK converted to Blocks format and optimized for modular experimentation.

What do you get when you patch multiple modules together to create a synth? You get a Rack. There are 50+ expertly crafted and fully patchable Racks included in BLOCKS PRIMES, each one a playable synthesizer. Feedback drones, sequenced distortion modules, percussive and even soundscape patches are ready to go. You can use these as they are, or experiment with them to create something entirely new.
