THE FINGER eröffnet völlig neue Möglichkeiten für intuitive Klangbearbeitung, Live-Remixing und temposynchrone Effekterzeugung - im Studio und auf der Bühne. Und da THE FINGER vom kostenlosen KORE PLAYER angetrieben wird, ist dieses außergewöhnliche Multi-Effekt sofort für jeden nutzbar, ohne KORE 2, REAKTOR oder ein anderes NI-Produkt erwerben zu müssen.*



"The Finger" is a unique keyboard-controlled performance effects processor developed by Tim Exile and Native Instruments, for intuitive sound mangling and live remixing in the studio and on stage.

It's a strange and wonderful sampling instrument and live rig, capable of mangling and remixing live, synced to tempo. It's proof that live computer performance doesn't have to be in only one tool, or use one technique. It's a ready-to-play, affordable instrument you can pick up and use. It's a Reaktor patch gurus can pick apart and learn from, along with other resources from one of Reaktor's masters. It's a new blog and an opportunity to talk about live performance. It's an EP release.

It's actually all of these things – a tool, but more than a tool. The Finger, a US$79 / EUR 69 instrument, is a product, first and foremost, created by master live electronic performer and hacker Tim Exile. Tim is such a dedicated Reaktor user that he once managed to give himself a repetitive stress injury from connecting patch cords. (Not recommended.) You can run this thing out of the box using the free Kore Player, or get in deeper with a full version of Kore, or get into the patch itself with a copy of Reaktor 5 (also included in Komplete 5 and 6). It's quite a product, too. I could try to explain it, but I couldn't possibly do as good a job as Tim does in the video.



I'm not sure I agree with the marketing material's claim that this is "a new type of live performance and remix effect." In fact, Reaktor, Max/MSP, and other tools have led to all sorts of similar, original performance tools. Unlike going into a gig with just an Ableton Live set (something I'm doing in, literally, fifteen minutes), having a custom tool means focusing on performance techniques. And "new" hardly matters – Tim is a ninja at working with Reaktor's deep sound DSP layer, Core (not to be confused with Kore). Whether it's new or not, this is the ultimate patch from one of Reaktor's masters. Along with Reaktor creator Stephan Schmitt's Spark, it's proof that sound packs from NI – or anyone else for that matter – don't have to be limited to stock presets.

More than that, though, The Finger is connected to a music release by Tim, and is already triggering discussion of live performance and sound design – issues that go beyond any one tool. Tim has started a new blog to talk about his own take on live performance, starting with more info on his EP and some tracks you can hear:

Other folks I know have picked up The Finger and started to play with it, including the underlying Reaktor patch. Most notably, see Richard Devine transform The Finger from a Sound-Like-Tim-Exile machine into a Richard-Devine-Sonic-Insanity-Generator. (See, just because you use someone else's tool doesn't have to mean you need to sound like them.) With Max for Live coming, hackers getting smarter and slicker with open source tools like Processing, ChucK, SoundCollider, and Pd, and techno-literacy again on the rise – more connected than ever by these Interwebs – I think we could be in store for a really wonderful age of creativity, in which people make part of the craft of music making the craft of tool making, as well. Designing a tool, after all, is designing a system, in the same way that composition (in any medium) is about designing a system. Finally, instead of keeping that to ourselves, we can actually share the whole process.

In the meantime, let's watch those videos, on Reaktor, The Finger, and more.

Richard Devine takes on The Finger:

Here is a little experiment I tried using Tim Exile's new Finger Plug-in with Logic 9. I was running some of my drums on a track in Logic's Flex mode, slightly drawing in graphic tempo changes, and automating all the parameter twist knobs drastically, while programming every MIDI parameter I could assign on the piano roll editor, Doing more then my two hands could do=) Just letting it all go crazy. Some strange interesting results indeed. =)
