Just bought Monark, really happy with it but dissappointed to find out... [cont]

I just bought Monark a few days ago, and I am overjoyed with my new purchase. I am, however, incredibly dissappointed to find out that the filter and envelope macros have been locked (meaning I can't look inside them.) Why is that? I've made measurements with the envelope and they are shockingly advanced, so I don't get why NI would prohibit us from looking inside something like this.

I've used the Monark Blocks (ships with Reaktor 6 full) and they both have the same issue.

Keep in mind this isn't a plea to unlock the macros, but a question asking why they are locked.

I guess because they are shockingly advanced. Humanity isn't ready for secrets like these

If humanity really isnt ready for secrets like these then how the hell did Mike Daliot and Zagler (both humans) manage to comprehend *let alone CREATE* this monster of a VA synth?

Oh boy, do I have a video link for you

In business it's good to have secrets. So of course the world never ends.

I once recreated HG Fortune instruments without being able to see under the surface.

They all works fine in my opinion. Take a look in the user library.

BTW, in FORM is the analising macro without entrance. So another closed macro.

yeah, its a bummer but i can't really begrudge them keeping one or two things close to their chest. as far as i know the only core modules that are locked are monark's filter and envelope, and one in FORM as paule said

there is however a really good selection of advanced filters in the ZDF framework that are made to be picked apart and modded

Mayhaps in the Reaktor version of Super 8 I don't own because the demo sounds similar to Albino 3.

Thats strange, I remember ripping some macros out for my own work and diving pretty deep into the oscillators and and glide.

the oscillators aren't locked thankfully. there's some cool stuff in those too, they work differently than the factory oscillators

Native instrument will LOCK thing for a fee. This is a common practice for retail items like Monark.
