Kinetic Gate Bouncing Generator — 4U CV device; nine velocity-scaled gates from wall hits, collisions and trip lines.

The Kinetic Generators family
A family of physics-driven generative devices for Reason, all built on one idea: four balls bounce around an arena, and every impact makes music. Wall hits, ball-to-ball collisions and trip-line crossings become events — delivered as raw CV gates, as pitched notes in your scale, or played straight into an instrument. One engine, three ways to use it.
// The story
One arena, three devices
The Kinetic Generators started from a simple, stubborn idea: what if the source of a pattern wasn't a step grid or a dice roll, but a little world with its own physics? Four balls, four walls, real momentum. They speed up when they collide and drift back to their set speed; they never quite repeat. Watch the arena and you can see exactly where every event comes from.
That shared engine — the arena, the collisions, the recovery, the trip lines, the velocity-from-speed mapping and the full CV implementation — is the ground all three devices stand on. What changes is what each one does with an impact. KGB-G turns it into a CV gate. KBN-G maps it to a pitched note in your chosen scale and hands you a voice per ball. KBN-P takes the same music and plays it directly into the instrument below, as a Reason Player.
All three share the two ratchet-ready trip lines, the ten scales, the Free / Quant timing and the deep per-ball CV. Pick the one that fits how you want to work — a CV brain, a note generator, or a hands-off Player.

There's something to discover
The ghost in the arena
There's a small surprise tucked into the back panel of the Kinetic devices — a little animation that only appears if you catch it the right way. We won't say how. Finding out is the point.
