What Objekt does
Rather than choosing between pre-made options, the synth exposes the inner workings of physical modeling synthesis. At its heart sit three resonating objects, which can be thought of as the parts of an instrument, and each one can be explored in depth. The objects are set in motion by the Exciter section, which can produce anything from a short impact or a stick to a wash or a noisy static. Objekt generates all of its sound in real time, so the result can be realistic reproductions of acoustic instruments or new imaginary instruments that do not exist.
Objekt ships with over 500 patches ranging from bells, mallets and percussion to stringed instruments and textures, and the included Combinator patches require Reason 12.
Key features
- Three resonating objects. The core of the synth is three resonating objects that can be shaped one at a time to change the character of the sound.
- Exciter section. The Exciter sets the objects in motion and covers a range from short impacts to noisy washes, which makes the instrument dynamic and playable.
- Real-time generation. All sound is generated in real time without relying on pre-recorded samples, so parameter changes take effect as the instrument is played.
- Parameter exploration. Any parameter can be moved to hear what happens, and a few parameter changes are enough to invent an entirely new instrument.
- Patch library. Over 500 included patches cover bells, mallets, percussion, stringed instruments and textures, and each can be customized.
Compatibility
Objekt runs inside Reason, requires Reason 10.1 or later, and the included Combinator patches require Reason 12.
