So, let’s take a detailed look at how the magic happens.Ī sound in Form begins with a single sample: a wave file of up to 30 seconds in length. And if you just do sound effects, you can conjure up audio magic that will captivate and amaze. If you do soundtracks for film, video or games, once again, it has an extraordinary range of possibilities from the epic to the atmospheric to the suspenseful. If you want pitched musical sounds, it can create some of the most gorgeous pads and most compelling leads you’re likely to have ever heard. We’ll get into how Form works in a second, but let’s first briefly ask: who would want to use Form in the first place? Answer: just about anybody involved in the production of music or sound. To my mind this was an excellent design decision, freeing the user and/or sound designer up to focus on what sounds it can make rather than being confronted with the intricacies of granular sound creation. But granular playback is what gets Form off the ground, even if the documentation and the user interface hide the gory details. Furthermore, the controls one normally associates with granular synthesis like Density or Smoothing are nowhere to be found on the user interface.
But nowhere in the documentation do I recall seeing the words “grain” or “granular”. Form runs inside of Reaktor 6 (or the free Reaktor Player), and Reaktor will run in any mainstream DAW or as standalone on the PC or Mac in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode.Īt its heart, Form uses granular synthesis as a sound-production mechanism. It may be purchased on its own for $99 USD but also comes with Komplete 11 and Komplete 11 Ultimate.
Form is yet another Reaktor-based synth from Native Instruments – one we think is one of the most interesting ones to come along in quite a while.įorm is a fascinating new(ish) synth from Native Instruments.
