Congratulations on the release! I assume as a Reaktor ensemble there's no demo, which is unfortunate, but I'm very much looking forward to checking out the many videos, which look to be reasonably thorough, and the price seems fair if Scratch Master Pro works as I hope.

Wow, pretty impressive!!!

Thank you for saying this, I had completely forgotten to add the demo download link to my site.

It's updated now and yes you can demo it like other commercial Reaktor releases for 30 min at a time.

Let me know if you have any issue trying out the demo mode.

Thanks, glad you like it.

I love the way this thing sounds, really cool. Well done

Terrific! I'll be checking out the demo in anticipation of a purchase in the next few days!

I admit I'm far from a Reaktor expert (indeed, I'm a Reaktor almost-novice), but I'm a bit frustrated I couldn't figure out how to play my own samples before the 30 minute demo window expired. I could load it into the sample editor on the bottom, but not figure out how to get it to play in the instrument proper.

In that regard, the manual wasn't really any help, at least to someone who doesn't have a Reaktor background like me. I'll check out the videos tomorrow to see if there's any guidance there. If not, could you give me some direction? Playing around with the built-in samples was a lot of fun, and it looks like the ensemble can do what I want (and more!), but I want to at least have an understanding of how to actually play my own samples before making a purchase.

(And I freely admit this may be basic, generally-applicable Reaktor knowledge that I simply lack and that anyone more familiar with the program would have, so I apologize for not knowing what I'm sure is a very obvious solution.)

EDIT: To be clear, I do have full Reaktor 6, but I've always just used it to load "ready to go" synth ensembles, so I've never had to deal with loading up my own samples. I've done some online searching, but I must be using the wrong search terms, because I see lots of explanations of how to load a sample, but I've failed to find anything explaining how to use them yet.

First off, this looks sick as f**k. I’ve never seen a plug-in like this! Great work!

But whyyyyyyyyyy did you have to use reaktor?? It’s SUCH a pain!

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. But it looks cool and useful enough that I'm willing to deal with Reaktor, if only I can figure out how (as per my post above)!

[dusted william]

can we create our own Scratch Action Envelopes?

[enCiphered]

Is there a wet/dry button to control the scratch-amount? The initial sound source files in the demos are absolutely unrecognisable when the effect is applied.

When you've loaded one of your own samples in the sample editor, you have to choose it from the list with presets. Bank 3 and 4 are for your own samples i believe. At least that's what i could find out in my 30 minutes with it.

I didn't read the manual yet tho. It was getting late and i just wanted to scratch around a little

It sounds cool tho, but also wonder about some sort of dry/wet control as some scratch actions don't really sound like the sound you're scratching with.

The interface is pretty daunting at first. I think it could do with some emphasis on switches that are really important. 30 minutes doesn't really cut it when trying this, because of so many options.

Still on the fence of buying it. Maybe the maker can give us some more tips. Because it sure sounds awesome, not only for pure scratching but also for cool glitchy fx. But it's not that straightforward to use.

I'll make a video detailing how to do this later on today for you.
