That would be awful.

Yeah, it's a pretty sad encripplement of an otherwise powerful synth.

Well it's a Reaktor synth... so you'd expect only full functionality if you own Reaktor.

Sure Reaktor synths may not be as useful for people that don't own Reaktor...

They sell it as useable with the "reaktor player". It's not ok to say but you can't save a fracking preset in my book. I can understand not being able to do some of the under the hood stuff (though I admit I have no idea what that would be

) But saving a preset?

I thought the preset issue for Reaktor player was settled with the latest Reaktor update. They changed the preset system for that update.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Nope. Fagett abutit. It's a player, you spend 'n play presets, not save them. You want to save a bank, move to Wall St.

Razor is awesome it is one of my favorite NI creations.
I took the plunge tonight and bought NI's Massive OMG!!! No wonder they called it Massive, so much going on in it

NI make brilliant stuff.

Massive I may get, I love how much you can do with the graphic envelopes.

I picked up Massive and Razor as well as reacquired FM8 thanks to NIs Bass Sale right now.

You can indeed save presets with the free Reaktor Player. Update to the latest version.

Then there you go!

Got me all worked up over nothing

Of course, then again, it could be like the LFO issue and it's not fixed

(ticket out btw

)

That's debatable. The way I see it, I buy a complete product, in this case a synth plugin. I don't care if the guy made it in Reaktor, SynthEdit or programmed everything by hand in C++. As a commercial product, it still needs to contain some basic functionality that you expect from any VST, such as the ability to save your presets. Ideally it should also contain a good preset manager with category filtering, search etc.

Q: Can I save my own presets in the REATOR 5 PLAYER?
A: No. However if used within a DAW host, storing your DAW project will also store the instruments current, customized sound and will recall it completely at a later date.

Getting you worked up is always something. Umm...doesn't sound right, let me rephrase, getting you worked up over nothing is just as much fun as getting you worked up over something. We just want to keep you working. That's it.

Squirrel please, you are getting worked up over nothing

Have you not paid attention since my unfortunate demise?

Be that as it may, you CAN save presets in Reaktor Player (NI didn't even spell Reaktor right on their FAQ!) - I do it in Skanner after somebody pointed it out to me here:

Razor is still, as a once famous street-savvy producer said - "Wicked"
