FL Studio + NI Reaktor - Can this be done...?

When I'm working on a project, it would be really convenient to just browse my Generators list and import, for example, Razor straight into the Channel Rack - instead of having to launch Reaktor and browse for and click and drag Razor every time.

I'd setup shortcuts for all of my Reaktor 'ensembles' including Razor, Monark, Prism, Skanner XT etc - so that they would sit in the Generators list alongside my other commercial synths. Clicking on them would effectively launch Reaktor + the ensemble in a ready state. It would actually just be nice to have them in the Generators list so that when I'm browsing for synths/sounds I won't overlook them (because they're basically hiding inside Reaktor).

Is there a way that this can be done, perhaps through saving/recalling the Reaktor plugin state or some other method?

OK (duhhhhh) I think I just figured it out :D

Load Reaktor, launch Razor... go:
> Plugin Options
> Save Channel State As..
> Name it Razor and shove it in whatever folder you want to launch it from.

Fantastic!

Edit: What would be even cooler is if the 'Save Channel State' saved actual X/Y axis screen location of the plugin - so that it always launches (detached in my case) exactly on the screen where you saved it. That would be handy on my laptop where screen real estate is at a premium.

Resurrecting this thread to say thank you for actually posting the solution when you'd figured it out. Saved me some time today, I appreciate it.

No problem, amigo! :phones:

Using this method I went ahead and made quick-launch plugin presets for all of my Reaktor instruments - and even a bunch of Kontakt ones too. They are far more convenient to use when they're accessible with a single click, instead of having to launch Reaktor/Kontakt first.

There's a huge amount of functionality in FL Studio that I will never uncover. It's almost as if I should read the manual... ;)

a good thing about the help is that it is 'context sensitive', when you click on something and then press F1 it opens at the relevant page...
