using Reaktor=

[pille'ocheoni]

through talking with deccard he has sparked a interest in this program i have heard about for awhile.ive got the program, but am having some issues.my basic query is where can i find some decent imformation on how to use this program and resources with tutorials.now this is a premature thread considering i havent done that much research in the native web site,but as a prelimenary question maybe you guys can help.now deccard is using a logic platform,but in theory i can use it in any enviroment accepting plug-ins.correct?thanks guys [pille']

cubase vst is even 'more compatible' as a vst host than logic because steinberg made the interface themselves, but of course you can use reaktor with any host. there are some reaktor tutorials on the NI site and of course you can use any general modular synthesis tutorial as well.

get pro tools!!

[actionjetzon]

I like to use it as VST FX...the possibilities are great!

[deccard]

i have some slight problems sometimes using midiclock synced sequencer in reaktor(running as vst-plug) synced to logic. but it works in generally and i´m not up to date with my version....
so cubase is "more compatible" than logic but who uses cubase anyway

[jamyna]

If you want tutorials I can recommend the wizoo book, check out the native site for that. Has anyone bothered with the new soundbank for reaktor "electronic instruments vol1"? Is it anything remarkable enough to shell out extra for??

I do... $?! If VSTi's are your main sound sources Cubase SX is THE way to go. yeeeeah, let's have a cubase vs. logic slamming match

@Jamyna: I wouldn't bother with those..... if you look at the information on the NI website, doesn't seem all that exciting to me... nothing there that you can't do yourself or that hasn't been covered by ensembles in the user library yet.

[deccard]

@triptonizer: why should we argue? we could start with that after steinberg implemented some decent eq-algorithms in their programs.
those nuendo/sx eq´s compared to logic eq´s are *cough* *cough* not hm so good as they could be.
but i guess its ok for such bread and butter mixes

- thats what I was thinking, it doesn't give u any extra mods so..... waiting for 3.3 really

@deccard - pity you need a mac nowdays

Just started to get into this myself, while my modular is still packed away with the liveact anyway...

[jamyna]

those who don't like "slight problems with the midiclock sometimes".

y'all

i'm havin' probs connecting new, mostly downloaded ensembles into my reaktor. like that caterpillar thing - it just won't work...
errormessages like:

"couldn't read ensemble information"

and the like.... also with some of martin brinkmann's and programchilds don't work at all.

anyone else havin' trouble or should i just rework my station?
cheers

no probs here -- sure you have the latest version?

3.03 ?

[c s]

3.05 i think

3.05 -- the ensembles you tried to load have probably been saved in 3.05

well, many thanx, looks like i forgot to update......silly me

Same for me... dunno what the hak is that? And some other ensemble from the Natives-User Library are sending some message like too many out puts...

Some body can help us on that?


Best regards,

@euterke

free upgrade, thats cool. you got any infos when it's coming?

i wonder what they'll do different in version 4, hopefully they solve the knobs-problem i have - everytime i build a structure, the knobs and stuff in the panel is anywhere but where it should be. lots of drag- and scroll-action needed everytime which pisses me off a bit.
anyone facing the same problem?

[jamyna]

Far as I know, thats just the way it is - coz otherwise how would it "know" where to put them?

[amble]

at least it could put them a bit closer together. everyone is hanging around in a different corner. maybe they hate each other.

oh yes, hehe. it was supposed to be fixed in 3.0.5 (or in 3.3 announced for last summer?) however it still isn't...

but i can assure you they're very aware of the problem...

ver 3.3 will not be out, but ver 4 will be released in february-march 03...
