Usefulness of Reaktor 5

[Vintage73]

Yeah,
I'll keep putting out the invitation though. My mind and ears are open. Please show me what it can really do to be more than what they show.

Funny how everyone wants to defend it as it is but not show what they say it can do.

I'm not going to defend it. I'm just going to say that I use it, like it, and want to learn more about its inner workings.

If it doesn't do anything for you, don't buy it. No one is forcing you.

At the same time, no one owes it to you to prove that it's a useful tool.

Buy it or not. Either way, it won't affect anyone else.

Thank you! A very nice ambient morphing sound.
And I do like the idea (no example needed) that it can be used as an effect too.
The rest of you that believe I've been attacking it, just didn't get it.
KBSoundSmith & Bronto Scorpio did. +1 for Reaktor.
But do you think a sale on Komplete is around the corner?

Sale on Komplete? No, not yet, it's been released in January this year. Probably around Xmas, or next year.

Quick question. I haven't used Reaktor in years. Can anyone utilize the components/structures of their specialty synths like Monark or the ones with acoustic modeling (Harm Vissar stuff)? Or are those components locked to those particular synths? Thanks!

You can indeed, and that's the beauty of Reaktor based synths.

Good luck with Monark's structure:

Definitely excited to get cracking on the custom design. In terms of additional paid Reaktor synths, how about Monark and Razor? I feel like having Strobe from Synth Squad would make Monark redundant, but Razor seems pretty interesting.

Well, iffen you could find the MIDI note/gate in that structure, you could plug a Reaktor step sequencer into that bad boy.

All through the magic of Swipe-orama!

Some more nice free ensembles here: http://www.radiansoundlab.com/ You have pay with a tweet or facebook like, seems fair! Decent sounding bass synths from brief play though a lot of wobble bass presets.

+1 very nice stuff

All the snapshots are geared towards the WobbleBoss crowd, but it's quite simple to dial up your own sounds too.

Nice looking also they are

Cakewalk, no problem.

OPX is also available as a Reaktor instrument



Tempting at just $49....

Nice to know Numanoid, I don't knew about a Reaktor version of OP-X, thanks for the heads up.

Interested in this but how does it compare to the one in the user library?

Also is it very different sonically from the Synthedit version?

Haven't tried it, there is no demo unfortunately.

OPX comes with a lot more snapshots/patches that OB-Y, I guess that can be a selling point

OB-Y is not so polished, but got potential proven by the Tom Soyer 1 patch, which nails that Rush sounds more or less
