Welcome back to your "Building With Reaktor" area
Hey everybody, This is your new place to discuss Reaktor building, as previously available here: https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/forums/building-with-reaktor.68/ We made sure to keep the more advanced area for both Reaktor and Kontakt available in our new space. With your help, we will do our best to make some of…
GUI design: adventures in Blender.
Hi everyone! I've started experimenting with Blender. I'm trying to rebuild a 2D design i made into 3D. The process is already well underway because i waited for the new forum to launch before starting a thread. The "original": Some working shots of the 3D version (work in progress, obviously): The idea is to, when…
how do I turn 'half tempo" in the Massive drum machine into a more flexible clock divider?
Reaktor 5 user here…..I love the Reaktor drum machine Massive , particularly the modular version that was uplaoded ages ago. I really like how you can halve the tempo of each sequence, but would prefer even more flexibilty, to divide the tempo into /4 , /8 /16 etc. Can't see how I could do this ,,,could any experienced…
Question about how Skrewell ensemble works
Hi! I've used the last week trying to reproduce Reaktors Skrewell ensemble in Max (Cycling74). A bit of work, but has until now gone pretty well. That was until i discovered a strange phenomenon with the skrewell ensemble that I can not reproduce in Max at all. Turning the Flow dial in the ensemble, often produce chaotic…
Is there any possibility of sending sysx out of reactor.
I don't think there's a sysx midi module but was hoping someone figured out a way to do it.
MIDI PATCH SELECTOR
Hi guys, I'm trying to make a Reaktor VST that can send out the patch along with the H an L bank numbers. It's like a patch viewer that you click on a patch and it sends the midi info out to the synthesizer. I have an EMU Proteus 2000 and I've made 4 banks of patches in 4 text files. These are patches for the zx perfect…
Creating wind instrument breath noise samples via FFT
I'd like to synthesize short samples (1 to 4 seconds) of specially filtered noise. I'll then use them in a wavetable-based Reaktor ensemble to mimic breath noise. Such noise is basically a comb filter with peaks at the note frequency and its harmonics. But the peaks of the harmonics and the valleys between them are quite…
Does anyone have the primary mux and de-mux primary macros?
I was just looking through the old partials framework and I noticed that all of the primary Mux modules are there, but there are no primary de-mux modules in the partials framework, I know I've seen them before and I thought I had them, but they seem to be nowhere on my hard drive. Does anyone have the 30 port mux and…
System Info Module- No Audio Buffer Size?
The System Info Module states (info tab): "Source for information about the system: Sampling rate, control reat (ad control rate events), display update events, CPU load and audio buffer size" However I only see the following connections: SR, CR, DClk, CPU, GUI Is it possible somehow to display the audio buffer size? ie.…
R5 library ladder filter (look at this crazy thing)
as a hands on learner in pursuit of figuring out how stuff, works one great method is to look at older stuff. looking at this older version of the core ladder filter is pleasantly baking my noodle in this regard first thing that jumped out was it seems to be a 4 pole with 3x oversampling, not 3 pole with 4x as the macro…
How do you find a NaN with only one specific note pitch?
hello community, I'm trying to convert my extremely power-hungry primary FM synth (https://www.native-instruments.com/en/reaktor-community/reaktor-user-library/entry/show/14617/) to core as much as possible. (The fact that the primary version barely runs on the Intel i7, but runs very well on the Apple Silicon M1, and that…
How to make a shepard/risset tone with the sine bank module?
I am trying to create a shepard/risset tone generator using the sine bank module, I have tried several different methods and none of them have provided useful results. I want to have a saw/square wave consisting of 16 harmonic partials rising or falling over time. Ideally there would be 8 layers to make this sound smooth…
Beginner Friendly: Using NI Reaktor Blocks as an infinitely creative audio effect
While the idea of using the Reaktor may seem too complicated to many at first, it's actually not that scary and is definitely worth it because you can get some really unique effects. As with many things, it is convenient to start with something simple that quickly gives tangible results. So, you can use Reaktor as an…
What is a granular synth all about.
Seems like the stuff I heard sounded like a bunch of racket. Not sure how to properly use it. What is suppose to be good for?
Core Implementation of Impulse Generator
I want to implement a simple impulse generator within CoreMacro. It will output a signal at level 1 for just one sample when it receives a gate input. I am imagining the Core version of the Primary Impulse module, but I’m struggling with how to design it. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you could provide. I’ve…
FX chain
Hello… I am trying to replicate the functionally (not sound) of an old synth from the 90's in REAKTOR. It's effects were separated into 3 busses. A layer could either be routed to BUS1, BUS2, or BUS3. If the layer was routed to BUS 1, then there would be mix amounts as to how much of BUS2 and BUS 3 you wanted. If the layer…
Kind of fun, flashing lights to let you know when something is muted
There's 4 lights in this one but you can use more or less by duplicating the flashing buttons. They receive controller code 32.
Popping sounds when retriggering the primary sampler
I'm experimenting with primary samplers for the first time and am encountering short DC offsets that make popping sounds when retriggering a sample in progress. I've made the circuit as simple as possible. It's just a sample player triggered by a pushbutton: I made a sound file where I retrigger it several times before the…
Building a drop-down menu (need help).
I'm building a drop-down menu for an upcoming project. It's working great as it is now, but it misses one important feature: i want the drop-down to collapse when clicking outside of the menu's boundaries. So basically anywhere else in the GUI, by way of a Mouse Area covering the width and height of the GUI and layered at…
Mixing midi input with GUI mouse control.
Hi all, I'm trying to control a virtual mod wheel with both midi input and mouse control. In and of itself it's easy. Just merge the two. But in case of a knob or mod wheel, midi control only really works if the virtual 'fader' on the GUI is set to zero. That way the output of the fader doesn't get merged with the incoming…
Can you animate the background of a Reaktor ensamble?
I would Like to have an animation as the background of the synth I am building in Primary. Is this possible? How? I would also like to change the background as i turn a knob. Is this possible?
