DevineWavetable Synth and DevineAcid for Reaktor Blocks?

bravedog

I am interested in Richard Devine's DevineWavetable Synth and DevineAcid for Reaktor Blocks, they are small free .ens files but require Reaktor Blocks [I think] which I don't have and don't understand well. Reaktor is on sale and includes Blocks Primes, so my quesion is, would this if purchased be enough to run these, or would a sparate B;ocks purchase be necessary? Where put the .ens files? Also I don't find videos of these applets, any comments on them?

I am not interestedin designing synths, but also am interested in how worthwhile Reaktor might be in general for music making rather than synth design? Thx

ps they also may need other Blocks I wouldn't have? I did find 1 vid for DevineAcid but can't post link

The full licenced version of Reaktor lets you use any Blocks you like.

If they contain elements of third party commercial Blocks, you would need to buy those for it to work.

…Just checked, and the only things they contain that are not factory seem to be non-commercial, so you should be just fine.

Thanks! If I try, where do I put .ens files after Reaktor install, and how do I determine and load the Blocks needed, or is that automatic from the .ens files?

I use modulars, VCV rack, but am quite unfamiliar with Reaktor. It seems similar idea?

NI Support says 'You would need [to buy] both, Reaktor and Blocks.'

NI Support is confused about what is in Reaktor which seems to have changed recently? And don't seem to know if Blocks must be purchased separately to run these.

NI Support is claiming all need Blocks are included in Reaktor as part of Blocks Prime?

Reaktor Free Player in one thing, Reaktor Full version is another thing and Reaktor Blocks is another too.

Check the comparison list:

You need to buy Reaktor Full version, which includes the Blocks too.

fwiw NI Support claimed to download and try patch and simple reaktor purchase was enough. So I bought and installed, and it isn't, enters Demo Mode requiring Blocks additional purchase.

here you gave a different answer:

now you say "simple Reaktor purchase is enough"…

which one is correct? it can't be both…

Sunborn

Also, can you please make a screen shot with the message that says which Blocks exactly do you need?

I want a refund as this purchase was following their specific misinformation about whther it would work. Contacted NI Support who just said they were referring to another Dept and i'd be emailed; no ticket appears to have been created. Also trying through pluginboutique where purchased.

I bought full version. It then runs Blocks in Demo Mode requiring additional purchase, in direct contradiction to NI Supposrt

No such message. Instead a popup says I've entered Demo Mode and need to purchase Blocks to continue.

NI 1st said Blocks wiould be a required purchase, but then apologized and retracted that and said since Reaktor terms have changed and it now includes Blocks Prime  they tested and these allow the Devine apps to run with a simple full Reaktor license- the reason for my considered purchase. Following this guidance I installed, and it is false - runs in Demo mode and says additional purchase required.

Unfortunately they didn't send me a Support transcript.
