Reaktor 6 Build

When I open reaktor and select play or patch I don't seem to run into issues, however when reaktor opens and I select build the program goes into demo mode. Why is this? I deleted and reinstalled but it did not resolve this. Any suggestions? Native access states Player is this different than full version? Thanks!

Reaktor blocks base not showing up in native access

I'm trying to install blocks base in native access but the module just isn't displayed anywhere for download. I thought it was supposed to be free to all as a part of komplete start. When I open Reaktor it says I need to install blocks base. I really need the MIDI out block.

Can someone tell me how to get this please?

How to change the octave of Midi Keyboard on Mac

I have accidentally raised the octave of my midi keyboard to the maximum using my "1" key. Apparently, there is no key to lower the octave. What do I do if I am on a Mac?

Audio input detection in Reaktor Core?

So, I am trying to build an audio effect that has L and R inputs, but can accept mono signals if only one signal is connected to either input. If a mono input is detected, It is only processed via the left signal path then copied to both left and right outputs.

Is there a relatively simple way of building a macro in Core where an integer 1 is outputted when an audio signal is connected, otherwise 0 if disconnected? I've tried using an ES Ctl to do this, but it always outputs True, even if there is no input connected. I think Reaktor might just be automatically resampling all audio ins to the SR clock, whether they are connected to anything or not - but that is just a guess.

Using a Dup Flt is another option, but this will erroneously detect the input as disconnected if the value stays the same (which may be the case, say, if the volume control of an input is turned all the way down).

Am I overthinking this?

Help! I can't get blocks to play properly

Hi! So I've made a simple patch with a sequencer. I've used eurorack for over ten years so I think I have a fairly good grasp of how this should work. But the sequencer won't affect the pitch of the osc and the envelope is doing nothing to the VCA and I'm losing my mind listening to this high pitched OSC. What am I missing here? Is there a secret button somewhere?

https://preview.redd.it/9y4ivfmgwfdd1.png?width=1561&format=png&auto=webp&s=5de6b69aceef8e3088fc13b388f12e6ae5fbf482

EDIT. My MIDI keyboard does nothing to other patches either it seems. It registers MIDI as I can see it blinking in the corner, but it does not affect the instruments. This has worked before, so I have no idea what has changed.

EDIT 2- Got the MIDI keyboard working again. But I still can't get the ADSR to do anything with the VCA or the sequencer to affect oscillator pitch.

EDIT 3, Figured at the sequencer, I was stupid. You need to turn each step on. Only the first one is on by default. Now only the ADSR->VCA remains. What button am I not seeing.

EDIT 4. Hurrah! I figured it out, it was that whole thing about pressing A (or B) and adjusting those bars that show up. Yes, you need to send ADSR to A, then press A on the VCA and adjusting the bar that shows up next to "level". I remember having figured this out before. I will leave this here in case someone with an equally foggy brain ever googles the same thing.

NI FM block?

Wondering if there is a block where I could input 2 different oscillator signals that would go through frequency modulation?
I was looking at the Toybox blocks but didn't fully understand what they do.

point of NI blocks?

most of the sounds it makes seems to be analog ? also seems to be used for things like random sequential pitching ?

Two questions: 1) When opening Reaktor as AU I can't for some reason remove patch cables between modules pressing backspace. 2) Why is the GUI pixeled/low res?

  1. I cant delete the patch wires between modules by pressing Backspace on my mac. This is when using Reaktor as AU (right-clicking and hitting "delete Wires" is working but too much hassle). When opening the plugin as VST, backspace deleting works. Any ideas why?
  2. the gui seems grainy and low resolution. Not sure why

Is it possible to make a static sound machine in reaktor?

I want to create something somewhat similar to this either in Block or Primary with the possibility to tune it to different frequencies. I can't find any posts or evidence that anyone has done this before and would like to see if anyone here has any words of wisdom lol.

I'm very new to Reaktor and don't know my ways around it at this moment, any help appreciated!

REAKTOR 8 STEPS SEQUENCER CONTROLLER - TouchOSC template

If you are a Reaktor user, this might interest you. I just released a Reaktor 8 STEPS Sequencer TouchOSC template. It follows the sequence steps on sync, lighting them and giving a visual and incredible interactive experience. You can download it from PatchStorage and Github with a detailed description and setup instructions. Enjoy!

How to prevent NAN values when initialising/re-initialising...

I have a Core array that outputs one of two value streams, depending on a particular switch state.

The array reads and outputs the value of the given index whenever:

  1. The knob that controls both value streams is changed
  2. The switch controlling the index is changed

The problem with setting it up like this is that no events are received into the array's clock input when the ensemble initialises (or re-initialises). However, all attempts I have tried at building a macro that sends an event to be used as a clock when the ensemble initialises have failed. How do I do it without giving up and using the sample rate clock (seems like an unnecessary use of CPU if the array does not need to be continuously read).

Looking for obscure reaktor delay plug-in

I don't remember anything about this reaktor module, it almost feels like a fever dream. I remember it being a relatively simple delay plug-in that had a XY pad on it. Had a few different effects, mainly delay, is the one that I remember having. The delay had a couple of cool and weird options that I don't particularly remember, some kind of weird scatter effect, or stereo phase related I don't really remember. Also remember it had a spectral shaper, the kind where it shows the bands as bars that you move up and down. I remember having like kind of a greenish look to it, sort of an alien technology type look. Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions of what it's called!

I can't midi learn knobs in Ableton for this ensemble I got from the user library and it's driving me insane.

I have no problem connecting the knobs on my MIDI controller to knobs in regular Reaktor ensembles, but this one Noise synth (TG-8H) tha tI got from the user library will not connect to my midi controller. I looked in the settings for the knobs and compared every setting in it to knobs that work in other ensembles and I see nothing different, tried changing a few things to see if it would work to no avail. It's incredibly frustrating that I can't MIDI learn in ableton to work with just this one ensemble. Anyone really smart that can help me?

Block panel problem.

Hi guys,

I am experiencing a little issue trying to use my blocks on the "Ports View", the panel doesn't looks correctly:

https://preview.redd.it/3l2che07fbsc1.png?width=1074&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9772638470e1cf904256465a2aeb3d75e010fdf

However using the "Compact View" it looks well

Any idea what's I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Doing some CPU usage reduction on my current project, what do (rel) and (abs) mean?

I'm assuming relative and absolute, but I've never seen this before. I was turning a basic math structure I built in a core cell into a macro and suddenly these labels showed up.

Problems with Reaktor

Hello,

I am new to Reaktor and cannot get the hang of it at all. I might be being dumb, but I have created an ensemble with substractive and FM synthesis and added a delay effect. I am doing an assignment on it, and I need to create 10 different snapshot and then use those snapshots on Logic. I have created two so far but after saving the second one no matter how may of the knobs and faders I changed, the sound would still be the same. Does anyone have any idea on how I can make the sound change again so I can create the 8 snapshots I'm missing?

Prism monophonic

Hi,I am a sound designer, I would like to make Prism Monophonic "last key trigger" and add glide / portamento but I have no experience using Reaktor So can someone help me to do that if possible please? When I choose MONO inside the block editor I don't get it work like normal Mono behavior on any syntheses with trigger off

so if I hold any key then played another key then released it the first note stops.... so there is something wrong like no trigger off.

Decade Counter

Hi all, trying to make a simple gate sequencer however struggling to find a way to make a clocked decade Counter (every pulse switches output to new 'pin' ) is there any form built in, or do I have to try using gates to make one?

How can Reaktor be a bit more beginner friendly, original engineering Carbon parameter snapshot analysis.

Carbon is an original REAKTOR Factory project and is stored in the Reaktor Factory Library

ā†’ Synthesizers ā†’ Carbon.ens.

Analyze the following 5 parameter snapshots:

064 Over

075 XXXcellentum

020 Zanfir

022 Scanner

049 The Opening

  1. The analysis of each snapshot shall include but not be limited to the following:

What components make up the timbre of each snapshot?

How do the various changes in timbre occur over time?

What role does the filter play for each timbre?

What role does LFO play in each timbre?

  1. For snapshot 020 Zanfir:

What effect does the UNISON setting of the CARBON device have on the timbre?

How does the oscillator used in OSC 02 work?

How does the oscillator used in OSC 03 work?

  1. For snapshot 022 Scanner:

What effect does the UNISON setting of the CARBON device have on the timbre?

How does OSC 02 work?

  1. For The Opening of snapshot 049:

What FILTER mode is used by filter?

How is this filtering implementd?

How are the parameters of the filter set?
