Cracklefield is an advanced generative sequencer for Kontakt featuring cellular multi-directional and interactive patterns which can create wonderfully unique musical phrases and rhythms.
Cracklefield is a unique, generative music machine, inspired by cellular automatons and early videogames. I wanted a sequencer where sequence elements could interact with each other, creating a dynamically evolving patterns. The sequencer in Cracklefield is using a grid, two-dimensional cellular space called the field.
The field can be read or modified by cursors, serving as a sequence track playing position.
In the basic sequencer you have several tracks, each having its own one dimensional space, which can be read forward or backward.
In Cracklefield all tracks are sharing the same two-dimensional space, each track being represented by a cursor. Cursors can travel in any direction, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, each at it's own rate. They can can be set to bounce off field edges or obstacles, here named 'walls'. The fun part is that cursors can bounce off each other.
Imagine several sequencer tracks playing 'pong' with each other.
INSERT YOUR OWN SOUNDS
I decided to package it with a set of sounds that, most likely, nobody has already.
There are, mostly acoustic/electroacoustic, unconventional, experimental or unusual sample sets, featuring a hollow soviet balalaika, copper rod mallets made with contact microphones, experimental guitar setups, glass chimes or wire-brushed crash cymbals.
Also, it is designed, to make adding new sounds relatively easy, just duplicate a group, put new samples and refresh the instrument.
EVOLVING PATTERNS
Cursors can interact with the field itself, paint, erase or flip cells, build or destroy walls. As well as shift whole field rows or columns. It's a playground for building evolving patterns.
Cracklefield can also use a mathematical phenomenon, named 'Langton's ant' to animate cursors. An ant is basically a cursor, which changes direction depending on what kind of cell it steps on. For example, it turns right on a filled cell and turns left on an empty cell, flipping the state of cell it has visited.
Sounds very simple, but the fascinating fact is, it creates surprisingly complex structures.
In Cracklefield you can combine several ants of different types to explore a variety of possible generative pattern setups.
MIDI OUT
Cracklefield has a built-in note recorder, it allows the user to capture multichannel MIDI clips, which then can be exported to a DAW by drag'n'drop mechanism.
PRESET SYSTEM
Crackelfield can assign presets to keyswitches or store them externally in nka files. Presets can be loaded seamlessly, without stopping the sequencer.
You can also filter which part of the setup to load. For example, only load different field content, or only change sounds.
It comes with 120 presets, to showcase some possible setup ideas. There's also a function creating random presets, which is a fun way to explore the instrument.
THE ARP
Cracklefield can act as an apreggiator.
Each cursor can be bound to one of notes from the chord being currently held.
Arp patterns can modulated (transposed depending on cursor position), transposed and fit to a scale pattern, while each cursor can play a different sound.
The arp is great fun to tinker with.

Cracklefield是Kontakt的一款先进的生成音序器，具有细胞多方向和互动模式，可以创造出非常独特的音乐短语和节奏。
Cracklefield是一款独特的、能生成音乐的机器，其灵感来自于细胞自动机和早期的电子游戏。我想要一个序列器，序列元素可以相互作用，创建一个动态变化的模式。在cracklefield中的序列器使用一个称为field的网格二维细胞空间。
该字段可以被光标读取或修改，作为序列轨道播放位置。
在基本序列器中，有几个轨道，每个轨道都有自己的一维空间，可以向前或向后读取。
在cracklefield中，所有轨迹共享同一个二维空间，每个轨迹由一个光标表示。光标可以在任何方向上移动，水平、垂直或对角线，每个方向都有自己的速度。它们可以设置为从场边或障碍物反弹，这里称为“墙”。有趣的是，光标可以互相反弹。
想象一下几个音序器的音轨在一起玩“乒乓”游戏。
插入您自己的声音
我决定用一组很可能没有人听过的声音来包装它。
主要有声学/电声、非传统的、实验性的或不寻常的样本集，其中包括一个空心的苏维埃Balalaika、由接触式麦克风制成的铜棒槌、实验性吉他装置、玻璃钟或钢丝刷制的撞击钹。
此外，它的设计，使添加新的声音相对容易，只是复制一组，放新的样品和刷新仪器。
进化的模式
光标可以与字段本身交互，绘制、擦除或翻转单元格，构建或破坏墙。以及移动整个字段行或列。它是构建进化模式的游乐场。
Cracklefield还可以使用一种称为“朗顿蚂蚁”的数学现象来制作光标的动画。蚂蚁基本上就是一个光标，它会根据其所在的单元类型改变方向。例如，它在已填充的单元格上右拐，在空单元格上左拐，翻转它访问的单元格的状态。
听起来很简单，但有趣的是，它创造了令人惊讶的复杂结构。
在cracklefield中，您可以组合不同类型的蚂蚁来探索各种可能的生成模式设置。
米笛
Cracklefield有一个内置的笔记记录器，它允许用户捕获多通道MIDI剪辑，然后可以通过拖放机制将其导出到DAW。
预置系统
Crackelfield可以将预设分配给按键开关或将其存储在NKA文件中。可以无缝加载预设，而无需停止序列器。
您还可以筛选要加载的设置的哪个部分。例如，只加载不同的字段内容，或者只更改声音。
它附带120个预设，以展示一些可能的设置想法。还有一个创建随机预设的函数，这是一种探索仪器的有趣方式。
ARP协议
Cracklefield可以充当apreggiator。
每个光标可以绑定到当前保持的和弦的一个音符上。
ARP模式可以进行调制（根据光标位置进行转置），转置并适合一个比例模式，而每个光标可以播放不同的声音。
ARP非常有趣。 |
