I´m buidling a instrument with difreent voices, each voice is trigged by a note/key from my komplete keyboard m32 and later a stepsequencer. I´m pretty good fimiliar with analog design but having problem here to send audio output, as seen at the attached image. I will build as many voices as I can and trig them with notes I will put range on. One note/key trigs one voice. It´a start

mixer out block cant be connected to the audio in block input.

grateful for help

    Raktor should have the ability to do something called front panel patching since Reaktor version 6.3 , so you need to use Reaktor 6.3 . It is shown in manual here on page 21 . Also discussed in this video here , and described over at musicradar here !

    Apparently the front-panel patching then only worked with N.I.'s own modules , nut that may have changed by now ?

    I also found this user-made for you though I have no idea how to use any of this , perhaps you do ? :

    Hopes that some of the above is of use !

    i sorted all out.

    now a new REAL problem. Is it only possible to haveone audio out module!?? I tryid to copy it but that was not possible. Should i use a mixer to sum audio signals or what? I´m buidling my second voice trigged by another note but don´t know how to do as there seems it can only be one audio out?

    I put a mixer before and can sum audio signals. but only two stereo. Is there a work around or a mixer module with more inputs?

    If you hit the 'add' button on the audio input and output Blocks, you can add extra ports. These Blocks will audo resize in make room for many ports.

    The Audio in and out Blocks are 'special' Rack only Blocks that represent the Reaktor audio subsystem interface. So it makes sense that there can only be one of each.

    yeah I managed to ad some inputs! but i also realized that mixers can be used to connect to them so there will be no problem with to few inputs.

    is thee a simple way to save current state/snapshot?

    there is a line over those inputs. How do I get them to work. I´m working on a rack that at least should have five six voices. It´s possible right?

    I think they represent hardware ins and outs, so if you add more than you have, they will be blocked. If you should have more than are available, you should look in the file menu at "audio and midi settings..."

    Otherwise mix down to stereo. That's what I do. The Util Mix 4 Block is pretty good with metering, mutes etc.

    Snapshots don't make sense in a Racks context. Just change the settings, and 'Save As' the Rack with a different name - Rack files are very small, that was a main purpose of the introduction of the Rack concept - small file sizes. Part of the reason is that patch cables cannot be stored in snapshots, so for a modular concept, they don't work.

    ok thanks..toybox have a 4 channel stereo mixer with eq. useful. I save them as ensambles just to be sure.

    I cant get midi learn notes to work! note in blocks. right click, and it should only be to press the key i want to use for that sound/voice! but it wont work.. i also looking for a third party block "Knob recorder" I now i bought it but can´t find it..

    With Reaktor stand alone, you can only have more than 4 if your audio interface supports more than 4. Some only do stereo, some do 16 or more tracks. No need for more outs than you have actual hardware outs.

    If you load Reaktor as a plugin in your DAW, you should be able to configure more outs that your DAW can process separately.
