Reaktor 6 Blocks Tutorial #1"Introduction"

[@mfbeatz]

Just got reaktor this week, i feel like i m gonna learn a lot about this vst and modular synthesis on your channel! Thks a lot !

[@camiysebas]

Would be awesome for you guys to upload more Reaktor tutorials. You've helped me a lot with Reaktor, thanks for that!!

[@voodooaudio9488]

That's one stoned professor, but a very sharp tutorial.

[@danapfranz]

At 1:44, you delete a few blocks. First you mouse drag to select them, then you push...something? How? Delete key on my keyboard does nothing.

[@greasybumpkin1661]

I'm doing this and the ADSR is having no effect on my sound?

[@fuhq9188]

When I connect the pitch from the note in to the pitch input on the filter(like you do at 5:36)... I hear no difference in the notes at all. Isn't it supposed to change the filter frequency with different notes?

[@riktascale4]

Very professional audio/video tutorial Professor. Thanks you!!

[@Chromexus]

my vca does not have a modulation control so I cannot get the envelope to modulate the vca

[@ginotarabotto]

Anyway to turn off the message we seem to always get @1:53? Or have it be yes as default?

[@kyleholman7191]

You have way less things that pop up in your window than I do. When I open reaktor 6 blocks I get and audio in, clock, note in, levels, and audio out. I'm assuming these were added in later updates after this video was made. None of them are routed and I don't know where the ins and ours should start

[@StarbeatOficial]

I don't have that "Reaktor Blocks" folder with that "Blocks New.ens" template for creating instruments. Is there any way I can fix that or download this file?

[@StarbeatOficial]

I neither have any of those "Reaktor Blocks" subfolders ("Bento Box, Boutique, Digilog, etc.) :l

[@SweetChinMuzik1]

Can you build a synth with Blocks and the skin it? basically this would be the same as using the blocks architecture for an ensemble? also, no polyphonic oscillators?

[@Digiphex]

Thank you professor. Very nice.

[@kd-zb8xr]

PROFESSSOR ... ? ANOTHER FROM CALIFORNIA....😂😂😂😂😂 ?

[@munsonatl]

Can someone please explain how to get blocks inside of maschine? I have emailed native instruments and they couldn't help. I can't find any related tutorials. Does blocks need to be loaded as a plugin? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

[@luisdelatorre9034]

Hello, for some reason I cannot find the Reaktor Blocks in my Library so I don't have access to bento box or any of that, but I can open the Blocks player, can anyone help me out please

[@pauls-audiolabor]

you need to buy the full version of Reaktor, then you can install Blocks in Native Access.

[@slvmberr]

So, NI gave some of this stuff away for their annual Christmas thing they do, so now I have reactor6 and some Blocks Wired. My issue, is that I can't seem to build my own modular setup with it. I have three "presets" I guess, but no library in Reactor from which to see individual blocks. I only have tabs for "Player" and "Files" with no Library. Any ideas what's going on? Hope this makes sense. Any help would b appreciated. Thanks, and great vid :)

[@delgadobosso]

+SLVMBER I'm pretty sure the thing they gave away is a pre-made modular setup. I don't think there's anyway of making your own unless you buy the full version.

[@slvmberr]

Yeah, that's the conclusion I came to as well. Thanks for the response though.

[@dansolo360]

+SLVMBER Im having the same issue

[@88xetrov88]

+SLVMBER Yeah you will need to buy Reaktor to make a modular synth and save it.

[@dyzam]

+SLVMBER You can't edit any Reaktor Ensemble unless you own a full version of Reaktor. For Blocks based Ensembles (and Tim Exile's "Flesh") you'll need Reaktor 6. For any other Reaktor Ensembles, you need at least a full version of Reaktor 5.5 (which is no longer being sold with Reaktor 6 out). Hope this helps.

[@mattsuii]

Played with Blocks for about 5 minutes with the R6 player and immediately bought full version of Reaktor 6. Started going thru this tutorial and ran into 2 issues. First, when I drag the Blocks New.ens into the structure window I don't get what you show. I get Clock, Note In, Macro Knobs, Macro Switches, Scope and Level Stereo. Deleted everything but Note In and built the synth following your tutorial. I get a constant note out, the pitch changes but no envelope! Thought there might be some residual stuff from the Blocks New so I started from scratch with a new Ensemble and built again as above. Same result. I've checked everything and still this strange behaviour. I have tried with an Impulse 49, a LaunchKey Mini, a Korg Mini and my iPad running several different MIDI keyboard apps. Any ideas? Thanks!!

[@aarbit]

+Joe Banko I had the exact same problem, but after scrutinizing the video I noticed he moved the modulation input (the grey bars next to the "LEVEL" knob) up. Check it out at 4:54. That was the key for me!

[@Semiosphere]

I had the same problem. This part is crucial, but he fails to mention it on the video. I was really puzzled by this, then I checked this out and now it works. Thanks! :)

[@kirkshoe]

It's a year later and I'm learning Reaktor 6, following this tutorial. I assembled the blocks exactly as in the video and I also get a constant tone that changes to whatever keyboard note I hit but remains constant. I tried the tip pf moving the modulation input (the grey bars next to the VCA "LEVEL" knob) up, but that has no effect. Also the Envelope block has no effect on the VCA block.

[@b3at2]

youtube videos are really bad ways to learn believe it or not.

[@starsmash7491]

@@kirkshoe a year later and im still having this problem too.

[@stephenankrum6870]

where is the folder y where the default block ensemble is?My realtor 6 only has two tabs ,player and files,and i can't find it

[@kpax9852]

I don't have the library option in my browser window, how can I get that?

[@sacksey5302]

Click the "edit" button at the very top.

[@mortenrobinson]

1:47 I have installed this on both my macbook and my PC. When i click on Library there is no folder called Reaktor Blocks. If i click on player there is a folder called Reaktor Blocks, but there is no ensemble named Blocks New.ens, so something is wrong with your tutorial. Also you didn't say what to open at the startup screen, I'm guessing that i should click on Patch... or maybe Build? Does it even matter? These tutorials seem somewhat outdated.

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

my blocks folder is empty what do i do

[@ernstlieber4340]

Very nice and easy to understand. (Just: what is an "ON-velope?" ;o)

[@schrodingerscat4994]

In America, we pronounce envelope as on-velope

[@wrigna1]

Does anyone know why sometimes certain Reaktor ensembles don't produce any sound via MIDI (while many others do)?

[@sounduvviewtv3469]

I have the same problem

[@exoreality]

Not all ensembles are set to receive midi. Some are setup to receive audio from an external source and some are setup to be run from a sequencer. If you cannot produce sound from a midi keyboard then look to see if there is a clock module in the ensemble. Click on the play button and it will most likely trigger the sequencer. Hope this helps you.

[@earl3736]

What monitor speakers are those behind him?

[@magnificentkane]

genelec.. not sure which model

[@riktascale4]

Genelecs. (looks like 8030A) You can look it up!

[@nnekalyn4494]

If youre completely new to Modular MIDI, where is a good starting point? Im a string player who has been playing around with this stuff for almost a year. The terminology is often over my head. Ive read up on the history a little bit though.

[@ralex2037]

Where to plug in my instruments?

[@len8619]

Thanks. But where is the video's sound?

[@Kadenze]

The sound's working perfectly for us! Could it be your computer?

[@len8619]

Computer is good.Only the Tutorial #1"Introduction" have no sound,Other videos（Tutorial #2 ＃3...) have sound.Very strange situation.^_^|||

[@xpozeofficial7762]

I have the same problem here. It happens when I use my external audio interface (Komplete audio 6). Internal output works fine.

[@jancjmusic772]

Hi there, i really appreciate this video tutorial it's very informative and nice demo too, i would kindly like to know how can i install reaktor 6 as a vst synth in my DAW and play blocks in my project i'm on PC and using windows 7 x64..Many thanks in advance.

[@pauls-audiolabor]

just use Native Access to install it, very easy

[@eyeheartmusichella]

I can get a sound but can't get the knobs to turn. Maaan this shit is frustrating.

[@rocknets]

This is confusing to me. How do I even get to the same screen view that you start on?

[@PThake]

To see the library tab you must click on "Edit"

[@mortenrobinson]

@@PThake but there is no folder called Reaktor Blocks when clicking on Library and there is no ensemble called Blocks New.ens?

[@danielhan.9359]

But how the HELL do I make the damn think make a SOUND? How do I add the INSTRUMENT and where do I GET IT?

[@mryayayay42]

did you find out

[@brax2574]

Can Reaktor 6 work on fl studio?

[@brax2574]

+Echo Hallucination You might as well reply to the rest of the commenters.

[@brax2574]

+Echo Hallucination I'm just getting started with this music production stuff.The only thing I have is FL studio.Any suggestions on where I can learn about signal flow and etc?

[@Kadenze]

You should definitely consider enrolling in our 'Sound Synthesis & Reaktor' course! Auditing is free: www.kadenze.com/courses/sound-synthesis-using-reaktor/info

[@brax2574]

+Gordon Bennett Well thanks man. I want to make some thing close to deadmau5 music. I've been doing this since April I don't know alot about this synth stuff. I've downloaded Reaktor 6 around July I had no idea what exactly what it was. Were the plug ins were and everything else. I was stuck on the main page (if you know what Reaktor looks like when you opened it) I uninstalled it after that. I wasn't sure what i was going to do with a empty plug in I expected it to come with plug ins but it didn't (I think) fl studio is closely related I found the plug ins, made a track, then made more tracks which lead to albums with no problem. I didn't know how every plug in worked and my creativity for fixing up a preset to sound different was very limited. I learned that if you just record yourself playing a preset on a plug in (without changing it up)everyone will eventually find out how you made it and then your career is over. Also you'd probably have to be a professional computer person to know all that stuff. Especially when it comes to files installation/uninstallation and etc. I'm not sure.Just check out my channel to see my music progess.(tracks albums, podcasts etc)

[@Maulleygxxx]

+Echo Hallucination 😂 there's always at least one.

[@resourcefulthinking6898]

Excellent video...

[@ChrisRamis]

Thank you for your tutorials. Great explanations.

[@Kadenze]

We're glad you enjoy them!

[@pianoatthirty]

you are a great teacher

[@shadowhenge7118]

Its taken me months of playing with vcv rack to understand reaktors blocks is the same thing, just way less modules.

[@woodstock529]

Love this, thank you!!!

[@Brucelectricmoose]

no library i have ?

[@badador]

exactly what i needed to get into Reaktor, thanks

[@tracktourmusiclibrary]

This update is indisputable for those who run the reactor.
