Not many really good new UL Reaktor Ensembles

[ew]

Thank you for the encouragement, but that won't please ew. This topic is for his company

Whose company? As I've stated many times, I don't work for NI- I just moderate forums and test for them.

So you're a volunteeer? Grand job! I did some volunteer teaching andreally enjoyed it, but it's my daughter's wedding soon, expensive. I wish I could do something for Reaktor again, but I just can't afford it. I worked in it since 1999. Feels strange.

Going by observation, Ernest isnt that willing to adjust his worldview to fit the known facts.

Yo,
Ernest has left I think.
Otherwise Yofiel,
ur Reaktor ensembles r something
...

Wishing you joy in your work, ew. I hope things work out ok for you folks. We 've differences in technical opinions, but whatever differences we have, you know I have the best interests of software developers and artists at heart, including those in your company.

More people can enjoy making art now in new ways than ever before. People may be hunting for "better new ensembles;" but there's so much to enjoy already.

nah,
bollox to that,
how long is history.
She's right Rabbyte,
hmm,
music is so mathematical,
it is easy to automate the gear.
That is heard though,
jeez ur older than me man,
and you have a handle on the science,
u r pioneer!
hehe
hmm-really--
is a generation 20 years?

ummm....Steinberg rebirth? Didn't have that. My first musical program was an echo program written in 6502 assembly code for a Commodore 64, in 1986. After moving to Silicon Valley in 1988, an A/D board spcialist gave me an enormous ISA card for my home-built PC so I could transfer my code to 80186 machine code. The memory loops used almost all the DRAM: 640Kbytes.

When I first saw Generator (which became Reaktor), I had only ever seen one other program like it, a CASE program for semiconductor DSP programming. It cost...$50,000! Reaktor was a total bargain at $500!

Electronic music goes way back, farther than this even: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronium

I use heaps of ram
U r the elders rabyte & ernest

[nix808]

Rebith was Propellerheads,
cool soft IMO

[HeavensOnEarth]

that's really interesting midiex. Thanks Nix. There's people in Germany with alot of experience too.

Herw is an extraordinary man. He made one of the most interestig modulars in Reaktor. He is quite shy, teaches mathematics.

Another interesting fellow there I think is ...Dieter Zobel???I'm not sure the spelling is right. He makes music toys to amuse his children, with a distinctive bunnyhand animation. He dosn't write many words. His constructions are very imaginative, I think.

Rebirth was indeed branded as Steinberg initially, around the Neon/Model E days.
I just recycled the box the other day.

[nix808]

Yes, I have seen herw ensemble,
we can possibly run a reaktor contest here sometime,
if ben reckons,
I'll look
8D
For now there is soundware category
