Ok! Perhaps you don't really understand what you read. Sorry

Are you still on version 0.5? My Bitwig is modulating anything I want in Kontour...

Just give it a name (and save it as preset...) Is there a problem?

Little oddities are just that: little, nothing to talk about.

Advantages in workflow are a "nice to have" nothing which would prevent me of getting a result!
And as you proofed above, sometimes its just a lack of understanding to develop a good workflow...
Remember those days when we had to slice the tape by hand to make an edit? I never thought about good or bad workflows as long a workflow was there...

I guess the fact that such a synth is a Reaktor ensemble is only a problem for preset junkies. The big Big no BIG advantage of that fact seems to be totally ignored: You can edit it and adapt it to your needs. For example I could make a MPE version out of Mikro Prism. If it would have been a closed VST, no chance!

Our friend Woody has dropped a YouTube video showing Super 8 in a Synthwave track.

Massive X is due next month.
What does this have in common with Massive X?
It looks like Massive x's lovechild.

I think it looks more like TRK01.

We should send Woody to the KVR OSC to finally learn to do also the drums with the same synth...

Well the filter was modeled from scratch...

EvilDragon wrote: Thu May 02, 2019 2:56 pm the filter in Super 8 is actually a refreshed emulation of Prophet-5 Rev 3 that's in NI offices, which was the same one used while creating Pro-53 back in the day

I dont know how it really is, but with English not being my native language as it is written it is said that:

Filter is pro 5 emulation wich was created from scratch using the refreshed Prophet 5 rev3 real analog hardware but the same one wich was used to model Pro 53 back in the day.

Maybe im wrong who knows
That's exactly what I meant. It's a ground-up remodeling of the same Prophet-5 that was used when Pro-53 was created.

Nice, so a Curtis filter!

In 2019....the CPU hit from Reaktor is negligible. I get it, if you have hardware a few generations old, it may be an issue....but I've never run into a problem using Reaktor. And I use it a TON.

I do not hate this. I actually like the idea of VA warmth and character with modern flexibility. Not really something we didn't have before, but I'm enjoying it so far. Sounds nice. Great filter. I don't care for the way the reverb bangs around when switching presets though.

That I agree

At least this one is polyphonic.

Monark still sounds a bit better though.

That was my reaction as well.

Mail from NI. A new synth! Cool!
Next thing I read was I needed to use it in Reaktor? My excitement went from 8 to 0 in one second.

I absolutely hate working with instruments in Reaktor. Or rather making my own presets. The preset handing in Reaktor was fine 15 years ago. Today it's just awful.
