Belief Defect point to sonic possibilities steeped in grimy, distorted industrial muck, drawing on techno's rhythmic urgency and sounds, but finding new forms around them... ...YY: I think it’s a lot about adapting things to your system. [XX] had been pushing the whole Eurorack thing on me. Then Reaktor 6 happened, which allowed this kind of seamless integration [with the modular]. XX: Yeah, using Reaktor Blocks, basically. Even with the current modular outboard modular gear, also implementing it with Reaktor Blocks, sending CV through the sound card. In the last few years I’ve personally developed a fond relationship with hardware instruments. I’ve never been a purist as far as only using hardware instruments or only software stuff. I’ve always felt inspired by whatever creates really cool stuff. I think Reaktor kind of caters to that nerdy side of me. Opening up that structure and seeing this web of wires is just as fucking cool to me as looking at a modular synth with a bunch of dangling patch cables."
"Belief Defect point to sonic possibilities steeped in grimy, distorted industrial muck, drawing on techno's rhythmic urgency and sounds, but finding new forms around them... ...MASCHINE provides tactile control for the REAKTOR ensemble’s inner workings, and acts as a MIDI sequencing hub."
"What does the rest of your instrumentation look like? XX: There are various things for different tracks. Kontakt was a very big one, as well. YY: Also Molekular. I didn’t know you could do that to voice. Vocals have always been a personal fixation, ever since Skinny Puppy. Using the harmonic quantizer, and then going crazy and have everything not drift into gibberish was just amazing. XX: Believe it or not, a large majority of the stuff was Native Instruments plug-ins in general – just things from Komplete. XX: I’d be bold enough to say 60% of the record was Reaktor. For sure. And there’s a handful of tracks where we pulled stuff off modular synths, just running patches and recording stuff."
