Building With Reaktor

Recent discussions

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…
Does anyone know how to use all pass filters to restore the phase shift from filters.
Not sure if it can be done but I was hoping to re align the phase shift inherent with low pass filters. I think all pass filters have a specific phase shift but I'm not sure if they can be placed in series with low pass filters to re establish the original phase before filtering. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I'm trying to use the xr gate to switch between different filters.
The xr gate is rigged to activate with a 1 going in or deactivate with a zero. Is there a way to change the value from 1 to 2 or 3… So I can use a panel knob to switch between different filters. Something like this. Below is the gate module. Is there a way to modify this gate so it can turn on with another number besides 1…
Trying to build an per harmonic partial ADSR envelope...
I've been working on an additive synth for quite some time and one of the major hurdles is creating a per harmonic envelope generator. How would you go about creatind a per harmonic envelope with up to 512 harmonic envelope layers where each harmonic fades in and out according to it's own adsr modulator? Does anyone have…
Does anyone know where to find inharmonic ratio charts?
I'm looking for charts of inharmonic ratios of plucked/struck instruments to build a module for an additive synth. Like a Free bar strike harmonic ratios for 32 harmonics are these… (Thanks to Chet Singer for helping me with this) 1 2.76 5.402 8.93 13.34 18.632 24.806 31.862 39.8 48.62 58.32 68.906 80.372 92.72 105.95…
Features we wish Reaktor had.
I think the only thing I find cumbersome is the lack of ease for storing a snapshot. Although it works fine but I wish I could simply click a button to save a preset, give it a name and a choice of categories. Can't think of anything else right now.
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…
How to modify Reaktor instrument to play loop in half-time?
Is it possible (maybe within the Beat Looper) to create the option of playing an imported loop in half-time? I'm using Twisted Tools Buffeater, and when I try import samples it sounds like they're playing too quickly.
How do string two instruments together and pass midi
I have a detune instrument that can detune each midi note and want to send it into the second instrument. As an example, a midi note of 65 going in to the first instrument might send a midi out note as 65 or possibly 65.25 if its detuned into the second instrument. Not sure how to setup the midi in and midi out of each…
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…
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?
