Scapeshift - Generative groovebox by Tim Exile

[platzangst]

Strange thing is, I can't remember for the life of me how or why I got on Tim Exile's mailing list. But then I get an email about this thing. Looks interesting.

Holy shit that looks wild

Will probably hold off for now though, as I've just bought too much stuff lately and my GAS is giving me a panic attack

[platzangst]

I bit the bullet and got this. There are some caveats I have:

1. It isn't strictly a VST device, it's a Reaktor ensemble. That isn't a problem for me, I have Reaktor, but it is something to be aware of.

2. It appears to be a resource hog. Trying it in Reaktor's standalone mode got me a message that my system was overloading, so I had to drop my sample rate to 22 kHz to get it to even function - not sure how this might translate into using it in a Reason project.

I haven't had it more than an hour as I type this, and I have to admit my computer is a bit behind the curve at the moment. It's interesting, but be prepared.
