    The Ensembles The Ensembles 5.1 Overview The four REAKTOR ensembles included with DEEP FREQ are: (re)Sonitarium, a four-voice resonator that allows crossfading between even and odd harmonics per voice. There are two LFOs, an envelope follower, a delay and a filter per voice as well as macro controls for fast editing as well.
