Description
Attracktive is a player instrument from Tracktion built on the BioTek 2 synthesis engine, giving producers access to a curated library of 100 production-ready sounds spanning pads, keys, leads, basses, and textures. The plugin ships with carefully hand-picked presets from Tracktion's acclaimed sound packs and BioTek expansions, covering a broad range of electronic and cinematic tones.
The interface adapts its visual layout to match each loaded sound pack, placing the most important parameters front and center. This streamlined approach keeps controls intuitive while still offering enough depth for experienced sound designers to shape presets with precision.
Under the hood, the BioTek 2 engine combines sampling, granular synthesis, FM, additive, and subtractive synthesis into a single framework. Attracktive provides a focused window into that engine, prioritizing playability and immediate inspiration over deep sound design.
The included sound library covers everything from warm analog-style pads and evolving textures to punchy leads and atmospheric soundscapes. Additional sound packs are available starting at $10, and Attracktive is fully compatible with the entire BioTek expansion catalog.
The plugin runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux in VST3, AU, and AAX formats, making it one of the few player instruments with full Linux support.
