"slight, steep learning curve...." is MORE than an understatement HAHAHA!

[@madhattermd1]

Seriously!! I bought kontact KOMPLETE about 6 years ago. I still cant use reaktor, hence why im here lol

[@eeveetrainer6619]

look.... i own Reaktor, have done since DAY ZERO but i would not try to play this off as something just anyone can jump into, even if that someone had slight understanding of signal flow and basic synthesis understanding....... NI have a very powerful tool hear... but if you plan on using it for anything other than a glorified "presets library" via the snapshots that come included.... you are going to have a LOT of learning to do... and i do mean a whole fukin SHIT TON....O_O Being conservative i would say that it would take MINIMUM of 6 months of hardcore reading and messing about with all the WEIRD ass terminology the German production house that is NI is using in this GOD AWFUL software LOL. There is a lot of pointless "terminology" here that really would have bin better off just left out.... but you know how software synth designers tend to be about making things much more complicated than they need be these days :P The new Blocks architecture is GREAT.... but again.... it will in NO WAY help you to learn the way Reaktor works... really... in NO WAY. It might be simpler in COMPARISON to the usual workflow.... but nonetheless it is still nowhere near "pick up and go" type of thing they're trying to make it out to be LOL Look.... if your already WELL educated in the more dark arts of software synthesis... or have already gone through the absolutely grueling process of months and months of learning how to build even the simplest sound toy in Reaktors environment, then i would say GO FOR IT :D But on the other hand if what your out to get is a pick up and play instrument that provides GREAT sound, pretty awesome "presets" and EPIC Sound shaping capabilities your MUCH.... MUCH better off just paying for the fully fledged synths NI provides such as Monark, Rounds,Razor, etc, etc.

yea. fuck this. i'm out.

[@conoroneill8666]

I fucking love this shit.

[@dmn2273]

You left your Komplete Keyboard on lol...

[@jrileyhill]

New 6.3 update is really good, front panel patching!

[@mistersimba]

How can you dislike this, your mans explained everything perfectly?!

[@dream-shala-music]

Do you have an online course specific to Reaktor 6?

[@howtokicka6394]

How to make synth polyphonic when building synth in Reaktor 6?

[@onionhat9141]

so anyway i can recreate the sounds from the GS-1 or DX-7?

[@stephen285]

adding modulation - sequencers 25:21

[@basloven24]

can we use self made sound in different aap as vst

[@wickedtoneproduction6642]

I am using Reaktor 6 with Logic Pro X. I have some issues hearing sound using the midi keyboard. Specially with the factory Library. I hear the sequencers, because I don't really need the keyboard. But when I load any Synthesizers I won't be able to use the midi keyboard. It is set to Omni port, I can see the signal when I press keys but no sound. I do have sound with Monark. It seems to happen with the factory library. I am trying to find the solution anywhere online. I am reading forum, and some says that Logic won't see the midi signal from Reaktor. Something like that. Like the solution would be to use an other DAW. Is it something familiar to you ? I would appreciate if you had any suggestions for that matter. Can you use any ensembles with Logic Pro X ?

[@wrigna1]

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

[@freequaintseas1852]

I just got my maschine back, should I skip installing reactor 5? I've read online that folks have issues with it now. thanks for the tutorial!

[@SHELLAC85]

Just updated today. Good video thanks.

[@AiMR]

The way that bearded guy smacks his lips constantly got on my nerves. Not really sure if it's an arrogance or insecurity based quirk.

[@artao5]

give him some Slack, you frop smoker

[@its_ya_guy_the_big_bak_guai]

Why would you limit it to arrogance or insecurity? People have their own little quirks and noises they make. Get over yourself.

[@superultrathanksmom3845]

you guys are literally tilting over the dumbest shit lol, it's just a dude.

[@aleccscalabrese1532]

what brand are the (metalic membrane) speakers in the backgrund ?

[@skatechatham]

+Aleccs Calabrese Just a guess on my part, probably Pioneer S-DJ08

[@aleccscalabrese1532]

Cool, Thanks !!!!

[@TONAH]

it would take 0.2 to load nexus patch that is 100xs better, but yeah yeah, here come the army of people that make noise but no songs saying "but what about making your OWN sounds??". I met the producers of Camila Cabello and they use Nexus... so yeah... I will stick with amazing presets and work on composition

[@Anci3ntRobot]

Nexus is outdated and mediocre as hell lmao , in the other hand no one using this just because of its " Sound " even tho it is far from better than nexus sound wise , you can do things here that you whole daw cant even do nonetheless nexus lol , this is for modular synthesis sound design lovers . if you want some mediocre trash presets to go through no one is forcing you to be here and watch this and down talk it , no everything is for everyone , simple people like simpler things

[@sirescobar90]

hallo?
