Where to get itAvailable from Native Instrumentsnative-instruments.com

Rounds is a REAKTOR-based four-voice polyphonic synthesizer that combines a two-oscillator analog engine with an FM digital engine, powered by a Voice Programmer sequencer that sequences and morphs up to 16 sounds in real time. It blurs the line between sound design and sequencing, enabling players to perform melodies, chords, and arpeggios while simultaneously shifting sound palettes through morphing capabilities and integrated delay and reverb effects.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Four-voice polyphony with sixteen sounds (eight per engine)
02Five voice modes (MONOCHORD, MULTICHORD, UNISON) with two Progress modes (TIME, SEQ) for sound advancement
03Morphing LFO with RATE, QUANT, and directional control (clockwise/counterclockwise) operating on a per-block or global basis
04Delay effects: classic and grain modes with ping-pong stereo option, dedicated modulation LFO
05Reverb algorithm exclusive to Rounds with CENTER, SPREAD, DIFFUSION, and SIZE controls

Things to Try

  • 01Use QUANT to create smooth transitions between sounds by setting to low values, or progressive jumping by setting to high values for jitter effects
  • 02Set up SUB 1 or SUB 2 oscillator sync modes in the analog engine to add sub-octave richness for thicker analog sounds
  • 03Assign the modulation wheel to control PITCH or CUTOFF across multiple sounds in Multi-Edit view by linking parameters and assigning to the Mod wheel macro
  • 04Enable GRAIN mode on the delay to time-stretch repeats when changing delay times, or disable to pitch-modulate them instead
