Today I can run tons of instances of it at huge unisons and CPU still nicely plods along. And Pro-53 still sounds pretty cool!

There are also "loose" models of nonlinear 303 and SSM 2040 style filters, but ATM those are available only as Core macros, not as Blocks, so, they have to be wired up to the panel manually. Those do not contain embedded oversampling, make sure your sampling rate setting is sufficiently high

I can't find these unless they are under a different name. Looking in Core/Audio/Filters - or somewhere else?

K11 will probably not have Kontakt 5, but 6 instead, though.

That alone would be worth it to me.

Inded. Reaktor 6 and Komntakt 6 could be finally worth the upgrade for me...

After that i could try to sell my single license for Monark as this shoul be be already included in K11.

If the upgrade is around 400 US as it was last time (for KU11), I might end up kicking myself a little for buying Reaktor 6 in advance. But I sure would like to see Kontakt 6 and Emotive Strings offered...it would help ease the pain. Plus, as I mentioned, Reaktor 6 is quite nice on its own. Maybe NI will give us long time users a break on the update.

I do not think i would go for the "Ultimate" version but the normal one as i mostly need the upgrades for Kontakt and Reaktor (+ Monark included of course so i could sell my single license for it).

I'm a completist, to a fault.

Oh, off topic but I wanted to thank you again for your "Atmospheric..." set for PPG Wave, it's awesome and I use it all the time. Plus, the Diva presets you did (I'll be checking your Zebra stuff out soon as well). You do great stuff, Ingo.

Did I use the word "stuff" enough?

Many thanks for your kind words. This is highly appreciated.

I am using my own patches (including those from PPG Wave 3.V) quite often too. As mentioned in another thread here i mostly do patches that i do like myself, not those that the market asks for.
I am sometimes a bit confused about certain genre definitions like e.g. "EDM sounds" which could include more or less all kinds of patches.

Agreed. I do like a little EDM (it grew on me), especially Dubstep, but what's weird to me is that I find making patches in that style to be one of my easiest tasks. I have no problem setting up a project with a nice banger, effects, everything.

I don't mean that I a condescending way to EDM, there's some good music (and really good production and engineering) there, at least imo.

Mono Blocks? Meh. I'm going to wait and see how the hard-core German Reaktor builders go with this. There's hundreds of great synths out there, some free, most with better CPU than you'll get here. It's the weird stuff that makes Reaktor great imo.

Plus, you can get very characterful with Reaktor, there are certain things that sound VERY "Reaktoresque", but you can also do plenty of more vanilla things with it. When people call the (formerly) mighty Alchemy the "Swiss Army Knife" of synths, I can't help but think of Reaktor.

If you need polyphonic blocks, why not create them from existing ones? You need some arbiter block (a little complex logic, I agree, but only has to be done once) for voice allocation and the new bundles in R6 could be used to patch in between your 4-channel or 8-channel polyblocks. You would have a 4chan VCO, 4chan VCF and so on. Also you would need splitter and combiner blocks for interfacing to the mono world if you want so. And the end of your polypatch a voice combiner would mix the 4 or 8 channels down to one. Any problems with this? By the way, does Reaktor switch off paths carrying no audio, or is there a way to disable parts of patche? This could be the limiting factor elsewise, because it would always use up the CPU for all channels even if no voices are in use.

Bundles are only available at Core level, not primary, if I understand things correctly.

Native Instruments released Reaktor 6 !
