CK_Pack_2 is £5 GBP
Last Note Memory plus
Stacked Voices Unison System
Note_Mem_Hold_Unison:
Integrated Last Note memory with Hold and Unison Voice Control - for true 'stacked voice' real Analogue Unison sounds
Last Note memory: Highest, Lowest and Last Note. For mono Hammer On/Off style playback
Various velocity modes and HOLD function
Unison: Allows voices to play in unison with optional level balancing control
*Note: Due to the SE voicing system 'True mono' Unison is not possible using stacked voices:-
A close approximation (one note) is supported but the 'release' stage of the last note will be heard
Unison_Detune:
Detunes voices in Unison - 4 modes **Use with 'Note_Mem_Hold_Unison' module**
**Note: Now, an alternative Unison sound can be achieved with much lower CPU and less problems
by using 'CK_Unison_Osc' or 'CK_Multi_Osc' both in Pack6 and 7 respectively
These also allow 'True mono' Unison for 'Hammer On/Off' type playing

Specialist Modules
Reflections_1: CPU 0.130% / 0.230%-0.300% (Interpolated: All Time+Vol Mod)
Inline reflections (ER) Fully flexible Realtime modulation system
Independent Volume - 2 modes, Time(s,ms,samples), Master Time Adjust, 4 Feedback & Damping modes
Reflections_2: CPU 0.160% Typ(50ms Spread) : (Interpolated: 0.185% / 0.320% (All Time+Vol Mod)
As above with 2 reflection Taps
Reflections_5: CPU 0.220% Typ(50ms Spread) : (Interpolated: 0.310% / 0.650% (All Time+Vol Mod)
As above with 5 reflection Taps
**Note: Reflection modules allow each Tap to be modulated independently (time/level) - this can save CPU where only a few Taps are modulating
However, for standard ER (early reflection) usage with Fixed Tap Time and Level an Early_Reflection module is more efficient
Early_Reflections_1: CPU 0.125% (sample)
Dedicated Early(and Late) Reflections mono
Independent Volume - 2 modes and Time(s,ms,samples), Master Time Adjust, Master Level Adjust, 4 Feedback & Damping modes
Early_Reflections_5: CPU 0.170% (sample)
As above with 5 reflection Taps
**Note: Early_Reflections modules are optimised for ER usage where the levels are fixed - as such, Level modulation is only updated at Block rate
Generally uses less CPU than the equivalent Reflection module
Supports Sample and Fractional Tap times (econ or realtime)
In Realtime Fractional mode the module presumes all Taps are modulating if any Tap is modulating
If only a Few Tap times are to be modulated then a Reflection module would be more efficient in this case
