Native Sessions: Play. Patch. Build. - EuroReakt Blocks with Michael Hetrick | Native Instruments

Sheer genius. That we have this kind of creativity/quality freely available if we own Reaktor is...insane.

[@mybiggrin]

Bless this man, and bless Native Instruments.

Excellent, clear presentation, thank you! I didn't realize before how nice Reaktor could be for someone just starting to build a small modular system.

Glad to see someone who found where to hack the default stylesheet for the structures ;) Thumbs up to the pink selection.

[@novaknovak6581]

Stunning work!

[@KosmoMishka]

Thank you.

[@burakeren]

Amazing!!. Think about adding presets to modulars =)

[@snacksonaplane]

This looks brilliant! Thank you for making this. I've just picked up a Beringer model D and am thinking of controlling various inputs with your blocks. How can I do that? Are you using a Midi to CV convertor or is it the soundcard that let's you control hardware from the computer? Thanks again, this looks super cool.

[@Strages_Powers]

what audio interface is Michael using and why does using optical avoid the application of DC Blockers?

[@MichaelHetrickUnfiltered]

+Strages I'm using a MOTU Ultralite AVB. Optical cables transmit digital signals, so from an engineering perspective, it would be tough to decide how to implement the DC blocking (i.e. even if you can guarantee that the cable is carrying audio data, what's the sampling rate? Bit depth? How many channels?). The ES-3 and ES-6 modules use this to their advantage. If you're simply using Reaktor as a CV output, you don't even need to go the optical route, as the MOTU's analog 1/4" outputs can output DC signals. However, there are DC filters on the inputs. If you wait a few months, Expert Sleepers is releasing a USB audio interface module that has inputs and outputs, along with optical expansion. If that had been released when this video was filmed, I would have just used that!

[@Strages_Powers]

+Michael Hetrick cool, I guess what I am asking is once the audio comes back out of Reaktor, it would sound different than just coming out of the module to a PA or monitor, do you notice loss in frequencies?

[@ryanmonro9848]

+Michael Hetrick Thanks! I was hoping Expert Sleepers would do some sort of USB interface like that eventually. Great video! Inspiring stuff.

[@MichaelHetrickUnfiltered]

+Strages Sorry for the slow reply! I don't really notice a negative impact on the sound quality.

[@Strages_Powers]

cool thanks

Please provide an exact link to EUROREAKT Bliocks?

+Michael Hetrick Many thanks.

[@soundofruins0sor861]

Hi, which modules form 'expert sleepers' he's using ? thx in advance

[@MichaelHetrickUnfiltered]

ES-3 and ES-6. I have them connected to a MOTU Ultralite AVB (for optical in/out).

[@soundofruins0sor861]

Great thx you!!!

[@kaihG]

cool, but please record screendump at a higher bitrate next time

[@WARDISWARD]

Sad to see people think blocks are completely new . Brings only confusion It's just a clever way of connecting instruments updated at sample rate , ofcourse a lot of work is done to guarantee compatibility .
