|
| REAKTOR runs stand-alone or as a plug-in on
Windows and Macintosh computers with minimal latency and very precise MIDI timing.
Compatibility with the common interface standards on both platforms ensures that REAKTOR
can be integrated seamlessly in almost any studio environment. |

The Library – a
customizable device pool
|
|
REAKTOR offers a huge and growing library with staggering
instruments, music machines and effect tools. Explore analog modelled, additive, FM, and
unique synthesizers. Groove with real-time time compression and expansion. Mix with
compressors, EQs, pitch shifters, filtered delays, distortion, and up to sixteen channels
of surround. Everything is immediately at your fingertips, from authentic emulations of
classic gear to creations never heard before. Since everything is modular in REAKTOR, the
instruments can be modified and improved in any way.
Many users worldwide have already discovered these creative possibilities, and regularly
contribute new and modified instruments to the user library database on NI's web site.

Preview: The next REAKTOR
version
|
|
At this years Musikmesse in March 2002 Native Instruments
previewed the next REAKTOR version. The new version will offer a extended user interface
and enhanced Modules, Makros, and functions
|
|
The Reaktor
Principle
|
Reaktor provides more than 200 basic modules which are the source material for
creating any sound generator or effect-processor you can think of: Numerous
"analog" and sampling oscillators, various filters and envelopes, shapers,
delays, sequencers and much more. The user can interconnect all the modules freely in the
structure window.
|
|
Macros
are used as "shortcuts" to quickly recall a set of modules or structures and
allows a more clear and organized layout to your designs. You can even have macros within
macros. They also make it easy to reuse building blocks. This gives first-time users the
power to easily design their own creations in no time thanks to a comprehensive set of
ready-made macros.
|
|
Instruments
are the next level up consisting mainly of macros, but also modules as well. It has its
own MIDI parameters, program memory, and a separate panel window for the controllers. On
the highest level of the REAKTOR hierarchy - which is called an ensemble - several
instruments can be combined together in a "multi-timbral" like environment
giving you the power to create entire songs with Reaktor alone.

New in Reaktor3
|
Find all details on the new audio core, the
flexible and newly designed user interface with drag&drop functionality, professional
metering, enhanced toolbar, the floating inspector, visual samplers, analog modelled
filters and the new modules XY control, audio and event array, grain cloud, 8-Tap-Delay,
8-channel Scanning Mixer and much more.
|
|
New Audio Core
|
|
| REAKTOR 3 includes a completely rewritten core audio
engine that is optimized for the SSE and AltiVec instruction sets on the Intel Pentium®
and G4 processors. Depending on the ensemble, the new audio core is up to 100% more
efficient than REAKTOR 2.3 running the same ensemble on the same processor. REAKTOR 3 for
MacOS features extensive G4 optimizations for similar performance improvements. |
|
Flexible User Interface
|
|
| REAKTOR 3's Drag&Drop functionality makes it easy to
get files into REAKTOR. Drag&Drop works with audio files, instruments, and macros.
Download some new macros from the Internet, drag them into REAKTOR 3, then start to make
music. One of the most useful features of REAKTOR 3's Drag&Drop is the ability to
insert multiple audio files into a sampler module. Getting ready for a live performance?
Drag 128 audio files into a Beat Loop module and you're ready to roll in a matter of
seconds. Any off-line operation, such as loading an ensemble or samples, now has a
progress bar. |
|
New Design and more Flexibility
|
|
| You've already noticed the striking graphic design of
REAKTOR 3 above. All knobs, sliders, buttons, and the toolbar have been redesigned for
greater clarity. REAKTOR 3 also lets you customize your environment. Choose any color for
the Panel background and the Selection color. You're not limited to any preselected
palette, chose from as many colors as your video card supports (this is usually several
million!). |
|
Professional Metering
|
|
| REAKTOR 3's Level Meters have also been redesigned. Now
they have two resolution modes (coarse on the left and fine on the right in the picture
below) and are as accurate and as fast any any digital metering. All Level Meters can also
have a value readout to accurately monitor your audio levels, or to act as numerical
displays for any object. Additionally, Level Meters and Faders can also be horizontally
aligned and can have any length. |
|
Enhanced Toolbar
|
|
REAKTOR 3's Toolbar is even more flexible. High accuracy
input and output metering has been implemented, and the toolbar can even be undocked and
used as a floating palette. The Toolbar lets you select sample rates up to 96 kHz, type in
a tempo, and assign MIDI controllers to any panel element. It also displays current CPU
load, manages snapshots, polyphony, and more.

Floating Inspector
|
|
| All parameters in REAKTOR 3 are now set with the floating
Properties Inspector. The Inspector lets you modify several modules one after the other,
even if they are not related. Quickly set the range of a filter cutoff knob, for instance,
then set the size of an envelope display, without ever double clicking. |
|
|
Visuelle Sampler and AKAI Import
|
|
All Sampler Modules can display their
audio data in the Panel Window. Any compatible sound file can be dragged and dropped into
the sampler's Property Inspector for instant use, and AKAI sample data can be imported
from AKAI-formatted CDs.
