I’m composing a new piece of music in Ableton Live that focuses on a few rather strange sounding bird calls modulated into chords using Melodyne. I’m now searching through the Reaktor library, hoping either to find or create 3 or 4 ambient pads to play behind these shredded calls. My favorite ensemble so far has been Metaphysical Function. I’ve figured out how to modulate a few of the presets, but I’m also finding that changes made in one preset don’t necessarily act the same way in another preset. I spent several hours one day fiddling with the dials, wading through all the presets, but came away feeling I am missing something crucial to programming this instrument. For just one example, I figured out how to hear my own .wav files and samples when loaded into some of the presets, but when I try turning the same dials in other presets, nothing happens
Is there a manual for MF? If so, so, please post the link. Is there a link on NI for presets not already bundled inside the instrument? Is there a way to void the presets entirely, because I really want to start the instrument from silence? In general, I’d also like to hear from others users who actually feel competent programming this beauty.
