Heavyocity C-Tools brings three complementary retro synth instruments together for drums, bass, pads and keys inspired by the 1970s and 1980s. Capsule handles percussion with eight drum channels, a built-in sequencer and drum-focused effects, including gated reverb. Coil supplies monophonic bass, combining digital FM with analogue subtractive synthesis for tones ranging from sharp, percussive attacks to deep, pulsing lows. Clique blends string-machine and combo-organ sounds, with split-keyboard routing that lets you assign synth sections across the keyboard. With 149 presets and three built-in effects per instrument, C-Tools suits hobby producers building vintage electronic grooves, synth-led arrangements and nostalgic melodic textures. Use the trio to sketch a rhythmic foundation, then add shimmering chords or expressive keyboard lines. Requires the full version of Reaktor 5, version 5.9.2 or later.
