Ultra-Sharp Synthesizer

The groundbreaking additive synthesis powerhouse, RAZOR delivers powerful sound and cutting-edge sonic control.

Innovative Additive

At the vanguard of additive synthesis, RAZOR delivers character like no other. Discover cutting-edge sound design with unparalleled dynamics and a precise sound identity suited to tense basses, bristling leads, and shifting, sci-fi soundscapes. Created by maverick Berlin producer Errorsmith in partnership with Native Instruments, RAZOR’s approach to additive synthesis is pragmatic and musical, providing detailed control without sacrificing usability.

The Sound of Additive Synthesis

In additive synthesis, the sound is constructed from partials – single sine waves firing in parallel, changing amplitude and even frequency over time. The resulting sound remains clear and precise at all times, even when heavily modulated. RAZOR's additive engine consists of up to 320 partials, creating an unmistakably different, high-resolution sound.

Shake off the virtual analog dust and sharpen your studio cuts with RAZOR. It runs in the free REAKTOR PLAYER and REAKTOR, providing a versatile platform for your sound design needs. Embrace the future of synthesis with RAZOR's innovative and detailed control.
