Wow – a synthesiser that simulates bad acid !
One man’s bad acid is another man’s awesomely strange experience 🙂 I usually just use Paulstretch and then manipulate grains in Live’s warp functions for this type of thing, or use Polygon (my secret weapon).
This is a cool ensemble. But there are tons of equally cool stuff in the NI User Library for free. It’s sad how little attention the amazing stuff in the Reaktor User Library gets.

Monolite is a step above most of the free ensembles. Good presets, nice UI, interesting sound and a demo video. Small price to pay for something like this.
There is indeed lots of cool stuff to explore in the user library. I have been surprised many times by the ensembles people contribute for free. I think those who are really interested in Reaktor will find it.
I don’t mind paying some money for really good work. Twisted Tools comes to mind. I <3 their stuff.
