Artist quotes on using Twisted Tools and Vortex:

“A dope new source for ridiculously opulent glitchery and haywire sonic havoc…” Bassnectar – bassnectar.net

“Jeez so many possibilities with this, and at the same time so much fun to tweak, wicked work. Amazingly insane.” Richard Devine – richard-devine.com

“It can be tiresome trying to find that “elusive” sound. Twisted tools is your one stop shop to unleash the granulated unfolding/enfolding textural madness that you’ve been searching for, without hours of mindless knob twiddling. The perfect adjunct to your existing Reaktor ensemble library.” Tipper – tippermusic.net

“With thousands of Reaktor ensembles in existence, it’s hard to believe that everything hasn’t been done. Twisted Tools is a testament to the fact that there is plenty of uncharted territory left to be explored. If you’re after cutting-edge sonic manipulation combined with world class functionality and a mind-bending aesthetic, look no further”. Ivo Ivanov – glitchmachines.com

“Vortex is a very powerful, and creative tool that will show you existing relationships between different samples that you would have never thought were possible. You can create hip hop tracks from techno samples and vice versa. I can see an enormous amount of potential available from using it. It goes hand-in-hand while using Ableton Live.” Mike Hucakby – myspace.com/mikehucakby

“Vortex is an epic plugin! Unlimited possibilities for futuristic sounding edits and glitches. Very clean sounding too.” Mikey of Antiserum – myspace.com/antiserumsf
