REKA - Walkthrough

For our fourth release, we decided to step back a little from the classic instruments and explore a new area. Venta EM-17 is rare instrument with only about 500 items produced in total in the early 1990s. With only a handful of them still in a good condition, we managed to get our hands on one of them. During the working process our goal was not simply to copy the original sound into the digital world, but rather to augment it with our own vision of the times in which it was produced. The sound of our REKA is super mysterious and as if frozen in time.
Recording with a Tesla channel strip that was made in Czechoslovakia, a Mosfet compressor from 1981 and a lot of other vintage tube gear, with the final shaping done by the Studer tape mastering recorder, we obtained a version of Venta EM-17 with very warm and natural sound.
We are also very glad that REKA has become our first instrument with Native Apple Silicon (M1) and MPE support.
The appearance of the plugin was inspired by the design of the instrument itself and by the Lithuanian river Venta.

FEAUTURES:
- 1 articulation in 3 versions - clear sound and two audio lines from MN-61 wire recorder (can be used for stereo sound)
- Custom tape designed and eurorack style sound design patches
- The whole library was recorded via the Studer tape recorder, very rare MN-61 wire audio recorder, old tube and transistors preamps, compressors and equalizers
- Space and Echo were captured from the tape echo, guitar pedals and some weird and cool studio reverb unit
- the X slider: all its sounds are based on the original Venta sounds. To create it, we used wire and cassette tapes, some granular eurorack modules, only soviet guitar pedals and other analog equipment
- Minimalistic interface inspired by nature
- A lot of individuality and textures
- 5 RR per note
- Up to 4 velocity per note
- Native Apple Silicon (M1) and MPE support
- VST3/AU plugin for macOS (10.11+) and Windows
- All samples recorded at 96 kHz. Distributed at 48 kHz
- NOT compatible with Pro Tools and any other DAWs that do not support VST3/AU formats.
- 856 MB compressed
- 1.66 GB uncompressed

This company needs a lot more exposure. These are stunning libraries. Although, I would kinda like to keep them as our secret weapon...

[@christopherkopper2837]

Don't worry the muggles won't care about these sounds anyway.

[@dddduu300]

All of these compositions are delightful, but that last one is stunning.

[@marufawks666]

Picked this up on a whim because I saw it advertised on Instagram. Love it so far, I had never heard of elementary before but the ad spoke for itself. Great work

What an amazingly rich palette, it really sounds very organic! Would it be possible to try a demo to see if it fits my workflow?

[@steph1918]

That sound is so moving. 😶

[@coloaten6682]

Sounds fantastic. Is this just one instrument on the whole video?

[@elementarysounds3746]

Thank you! Yeah, all the sounds in this video were taken from REKA itself

[@laonda1456]

How do you access the presets in the synth interface ?

[@fogiusbebe1]

Guy, сan you please tell me where to get samples for it?

[@khajo9486]

How long is the current discount going to last? This sounds unreal

[@elementarysounds3746]

Hey! Sorry for such a late response. The discount was available for 2 weeks starting from the release date in August. So, unfortunately, it is not on intro price anymore. In terms of discounts we can only offer an educational one currently. Thank you for asking!

[@khajo9486]

@@elementarysounds3746 No, all good, I messaged with your instagram account a while ago and you gave me a 10 percent discount, I already bought it. It sounds incredible. Thanks!

[@christian348]

Who is the composer of the work featured in the video?

[@elementarysounds3746]

Hi! Thank you for asking! It was written by one of our team members. We glad you liked it! Thank you! :)

[@MrJohnyAlvin]

Is there a demo to try?

[@elementarysounds3746]

Hey, we're sorry we didn’t reply to you here. Please, check out your email. We have just replied there

[@tomsm06]

Why tf my totally normal comment was removed ??? Like I received a notification from KZbin about that and I can't find the comment that I made 1h ago or something, While it was a COMPLIMENT 😐

[@tokiboi6777]

nice sounds, only the uis are rather bad designed and confusing. get a good ui designer. I actually did not buy anything so far because of that.

[@christopherkopper2837]

They are pretty simple and straightforward actually. It's not rocket science. I'm willing to bet that anyone with a basic understanding of vsts can figure it out in a couple minutes. Most synths are more confusing and that's before you even get into a matrix. What's got you confused?

[@tokiboi6777]

@@christopherkopper2837 nice insult. you must be a cool person.

[@tokiboi6777]

@@christopherkopper2837 what are you willing to bet CHRISTOPHER? hu?

[@tokiboi6777]

​@@christopherkopper2837 a basic understanding, what is that exactly? there are so many kids every day just wanting to do music. I do workshops for young people getting into production. and nobody gives a shit about artsy uis. If you take a look at it without touching anything and you understand so little about this, its bad design.

[@tokiboi6777]

artsy uis are for boomers that own 5 guitars and 100 pedals and suffer from massive gas because they believe the next thing will change their lazyness.

[@authenticthexception]

just bought this....love it
