eclo.re/gen – Procedural Stems smasher/slicer.
ECLO.RE/GEN is a specialized Reaktor 6 environment designed for structural deconstruction and radical re-arrangement.
Moving beyond linear composition, it functions as a performance-oriented “mini-DAW” where stems and loops are transformed into non-linear narratives through dual-looping logic, gesture recording, and an automated snapshot arranger.
REQUIREMENTS
Reaktor: A MAC or PC with a FULL version of Reaktor 6.5.0 or higher is required. (CAUTION: The .ens file is not encrypted for Reaktor Player).
Resolution: A minimum screen resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The ECLO.RE inter face dimensions are 850 x 850 pixels.
Reaktor Player Limitation: eclo.re/gen will only run for 30 minutes in REAKTOR PLAYER before entering demo timeout. While it can be restarted, a FULL version of REAKTOR 6 is required for an unlimited experience (customization, saving, and loading your own STEMS).
– CPU usage : Around 24% and 28% with a MAC M2, 32Go RAM and Reaktor 6 stand-alone. Similar performance with Intel CPU.
– Size : 90 Mo ( + STEMS folders)
ECLO.RE/GEN is built with and for REAKTOR 6. For an unlimited experience with the instrument you need a full version.

Audio Engine & Playback
-
A system based on a 4-track synchronized architecture designed for playing and deconstructing stems.
-
Multi-track Architecture: Simultaneous playback of 4 audio files (user stems or included library).
-
Playback Engine: Powered by Reaktor’s Resynth module for time-stretching.
-
Lock-Pitch effect system: Maintains the original pitch of samples even when the global BPM is modified.
-
Tempo Configuration: Manual setting required to align imported stems/loops with the internal clock.
eclo.re/gen does not auto-detect BPM upon file loading; the user must manually input the original tempo in this section to ensure perfect synchronization.
Looping System
The device uses two distinct looping logics to create temporal variations:
-
Looper A (Instant): Creates loops from 1 to 64 bars. Its star t point is based on the current playhead position.
-
Looper B (Micro): A “gesture” looper controlled via XY pad for short sounds. Its start point is based on the last selected Cue point (marker).
These loopers are not audio recorder but structural modifiers. Usage: Alternating between these two reference points (free playback vs. fixed marker) allows for real-time rhythmic variations.


Performance Controls
-
Per-track Controls: Dedicated settings for Level, Filter, FX send and Balance + Scratch, Reverse, and Increase/decrease Speed.
-
Navigation: 8 Cue/markers points per track with a position selector for instant segment jumping.
-
Offset: Manual offset control system for playback positions.
-
MIDI Looper: Records and plays back triggers (FX hits , Cue points , random functions). Punch-in FX: 20 momentary ef fects with parameter movement recording.

Sequencing & Logic
-
Snapshot Arranger: A 16-slot sequencer that recalls the total state of the instrument.
-
“Populate” Feature: Automatically fills snapshot banks with unique variations using the randomization engine. This creates evolving per formances where FX set tings and rhythms can shift at every bar or beat.
-
Random System: Generates on-the-fly group parameter randomizations (Song selection, Autotune scale, FX3 selection, and Mix components). The intensity of the randomization can be adjusted via a percentage control.
Effects (DSP)
-
FX1: Retuner (FFT): Spectral pitch correction with 24 selectable scales and frequency band selection.
-
FX2: Resynthesis (FFT) : Time undersampling (Fragment), noise gating, and tex ture freezing (Freeze).
-
FX3: Commutable Slot: Choice of Spring Reverb, Resonator, Reverb, Mod Delay, or Distortion.
-
AR Envelopes: Attack and Release envelopes to smooth out FX on midi activation.


Visuals & Content
-
3D Visualizer: Graphics reacting to the master output and MIDI triggers (adjustable perspective,speed, and size) + 4 custom scopes ( one per tracks) + multiframe PNG animation.
-
Color settings: Dedicated pop-up window to adjust GUI component colors and background colors.
Included in the package:
-
The Instrument: An open-ended environment ready for user-provided stems and loops.
-
The Audio Archive: 3 hours and 42 minutes (222 minutes) of high-definition audio, featuring full stems from the albums A Mind Forever Voyaging and Space Cadet Fragments & Cuts, alongside a library of boutique recordings and live improvisations.
-
The Presets: Over 150 prebuilt snapshots ranging from studio reconstructions to generative, self-evolving patterns.
