I have been playing with Intakt and construction kits and applying a host of cpu intensive fx (like SIR convolution reverb) and came to the conclusion my cpu would be better served if I managed to record these short fx laden samples as new wav files.
unfortunately in Project 5, using my usual disable all irrelevant tracks, enable the Intakt track, set loop begin and end points for the 2 bar pattern, and render to wav, I lose part of the final beat of the last bar. (If I record 4 bars, I get those final beats of bar 2, but not on bar 4)
This may be a bug in P-5.
My options would seem to be
Try all this in FlStudio
Record 3 bars and strip away the silence in a audio editor (I started on that, but got a little wrapped around the axle in editing tempo information. For some reason it's 80bpm, and 2 measures, but with those setting that's not what I get in the original play. With those settings I'm seeing about 2/3 of the 2 bars. And it's a bit odd that the kit says 80 bpm, but Intakt 'recognizes' its as a 120 bpm file (80/120 == 2/3)
(and if I beatslice in FLStudio at 80 bpm, which would be nice, I get 4 measures of sliced beat at a slow (halved?) pace. What's up with that?)
every body seems to have their own idea about this wav file's embedded information
any idea what's going on?
These 'contruction kits' seemed like such a nice idea and Intakt seemed like such a great tool for playing around with these. but it's turned out to be a very frustrating time.

I think your best solution would be to use LiveSyncRecorder to record your loops.
You can do it all in P5 then.
There's a free version limited to 2 bars.
Give it a try - it might be just what you're looking for.

thanks scuzzphut
looks like just what I'm looking for
i'll give it a go this evening.

report:
like scuzzphut, lsr free requires tempo data, so in Cake products needs to be setup as a synth in the Dxi adapter and pulled in as a synth in the fx chain
then it started working.
unfortunately any sample recording suffered from distortion -- sounded a lot like your basic static on high volume transients (like drum hits) -- no matter what level I recorded at. So it doesn't really work where I wanted
BUT it seems to work on midi patterns and those pesky free-running Reaktor sequencers. LiveSyncRecorder may well be the answer to the best way to get those free-running effects under control. Since this is a buried thread in hosts, I'll probably post that notion elsewhere. So they may yet get the $29 for the full featured 8 bar version.
