“the guitar is, I think it's Guitar Rig, the plugin for one of the amps”
“All the sound effects are actually just made from sine waves... It's all FM synthesis. It's always FM8”
A. G. Cook
“That's a sort of laser bass. It's a Reaktor instrument that I've messed with.”
“Laser Bass is another sort of free thing you can just plug into Reaktor by Native Instruments, and you can add more partials to it.”
“I'm layering it with Razor, which is a Reaktor plugin that I used a lot, especially around then.”
“Razor, which is a Reaktor plugin that I used a lot... the one I mentioned trying to ban off Brat.”
“Razor, made by Errorsmith, was a big part of the Charli mixtapes. Sophie showed me that plugin and she used it in really cool ways.”
“Getting into Reaktor in general, but Razor was a big part of, I would say, the Charli mixtapes.”
Barry Cant Swim
“They make incredible plugins for Kontakt, Native Instruments Kontakt”
Bob Vylan
“In Battery, which is a VST that I use, it had this... that's just different notes or different chords that are just samples”
“There was some stuff that I had found in, I think it was maybe Kontakt... it gives you the ability to have the sample separately”
“Yeah, Komplete Kontrol, which again, it was Battery”
“That's from Massive. It's just another plugin that I use for different kind of synth sounds”
“Because it's recorded at home, it's all just through Guitar Rig, putting everything straight into the interface and going through Guitar Rig to get the different amp sounds”
Bombay Bicycle Club

“This is a bunch of drums going on, basically. And it's coming out of Kontakt... but yeah, essentially Kontakt.”
Charli XCX
“A lot of stuff in Reaktor, basically... so my Black Eyed Peas layer in there, maybe.”

“And this is Kontakt Piano, Alicia's Keys.”
“And this is Kontakt Piano, Alicia's Keys.”

Danny L Harle
“We have our lead synth here from my very trusty instrument, SteamPipe, possibly one of the greatest instruments of all time”
“That was just made by Reaktor”
“the only synths that aren't bounced at this point is the Razor Bass”
“That would be Plasmonic. Plasmonic is a synth that I absolutely love. It has its own particular relationship with high end”
“he's being doubled by this kind of tingly little plasmonic thing here, these brushed strings”
“I just adore like Razor for a sub bass”
“I think this is a pretty simple Massive situation here”
Fall Out Boy
“So I'm mostly in Kontakt instruments. I tend to play everything individually. That one trumpet line was one pass of me playing it.”

RDS
“which is a really sick Kontakt plugin that we love”
Rudimental
“There was a program called Reaktor and you had to build a synth”
Sam Gellaitry
“like how Kontakt samples real instruments and stuff, they do it with old synths”
“How well I could emulate orchestral things using a lot of Kontakt... feeling like you've got this orchestra in front of you”
“It's on the legato function... in context to Kontakt, when it's on legato they actually record the notes bending”
The Favours
“He's running into Guitar Rig... found a great chorusy patch on Guitar Rig.”
“I found this Kontakt plugin called Fiddle that really slaps. It's really good.”
