I'm looking for Reaktor Player compatible instruments. The only ones I found are those made by NI.
Aren't there third-party instruments that are licensed for RP?

I know Kontakt has a lot of instruments that work with Kontakt Player so I was thinking that maybe NI has some collaborations for RP as well…but I can't seem to find them...

Good point, I think I have never seen a Reaktor Player ensemble made by a third party vendor

There aren't any.

I think they have to sprinkle some proprietary encryption voodoo on an ensemble to make it work in the player. So while there are plenty of third party ensembles out there for free or for $$, they require the full version of Reaktor.

I'm just wondering if you change the extension to .rpl if it would work in RP?

Could you at least direct me to some commercial Reaktor ensembles? Because I can't seem to find those either

The ones I've been looking at the most are from EverythingTurns.

I doubt that. There's more than meets the eye in RP coding...

It just made me wonder, because I've changed .rpl files to .ens files and they turn into ensembles

(I'm always doing this - tried changing an .ens file to .dll - LOL, doesn't work that way)

While NI is not licensing the Reaktor Player, they will be licensing the Reaktor platform to Reaktor/NI founder Stephan Schmitt's new hardware company to run a Reaktor synth in HW format. http://nonlinear-labs.de/org/about.html

My guess is that the business model for the Reaktor player is tough in that Reaktor excels at focused synths with twists but is not optimized for mega-VSTS which means that Reaktor Player would not have any blockbuster synths, but rather a collection of smaller ones -- meaning devs would not want to front a heavy licensing fee. It could also canibalize Komplete sales.

I think some ensembles that ended up as player instruments/effects such as The Finger, The Mouth and Razor, originally started out being developed by third parties who do not work full time for NI like Tim Exile and Errorsmith but then either they contacted NI to get the right to make them official NI releases, or NI knowing of their work, commissioned them to work up a fully NI hosted product. I guess that's how it works, if you want to release an official Player compatible instrument or effect you need to come into the NI fold.

I think it works exactly the same as it already works for Kontakt Player, but Reaktor's market didn't pick up yet in the same way.

Glad to see there's something happening on the "commercial 3rd Party Reaktor Ensemble" front:

Except those are not for Reaktor Player.

Reaktor Player Instruments - only NI made?
