Reaktor synth Patch#

If you're buying Reaktor for the first time you'll be set back £169 for the full version but owners of Reaktor 2 to 5 can purchase the update for £89.įor more information head to the Native Instruments website and watch the introduction video below. There are also a number of newer features aimed at experienced users, from the bundled wires section, which is said to make intra-level patching simpler, to the Table Framework attribute which allows scope for data sharing on the software.

Two others are Digilog Blocks, aimed at rhythm creation and patch structuring, and All-Star which act as components of synths, while over 70 instruments can be found in the user library.

Through a new 'rack-style' Blocks feature, Reaktor 6 will allow users to build their own custom synths on the DSP environment software, with up to 30 Blocks available including Bento Box (the core part of a modular synth) and Boutique (ideal for sound shaping). This aids in keep the tracking accurate across the range of the neck.The latest version of Reaktor from Native Instruments is bringing hardware modular synth elements to your computer screen. This is a filter that changes value when you play on or around the 5th to 7th fret. You will notice in the upper left hand side, the movement of the 'adaptive filter' copied from the GR-300.

The GSynth2 ensemble has a lot of cool graphics, mostly related to the operation of the pitch-tracking system. You need to set this correctly! If not, you will get very poor results, or it will not work at all. You can set each instance for 'A' or 'D' etc. On the GSynth2, there is a tiny toggle in the upper left hand corner. Learn more about the GR-300 tracking system. In the original GR-300, this is set by the value of a capacitor in the initial input.

On the software side, I open six instrument tracks in Digital Performer and insert the Reaktor plug-in on each track.Ĥ) How to set up your hardware: On the hardware side, I use a MOTU 2408 interface, and take six outputs from the GK-Expander, and plug into the first six inputs of the 2408.ĥ) String Settings (Very Important!): You need to select the string type for each instance! One of the reasons that the GR-300 works so incredibly well is that each string has a specific input filter to maximize the operation of that string within a limited frequency range. You can do this in the Reaktor environment, or you can open multi instances in DAW software. Since the GSynth2 is monophonic, you need to open six instances to create a polyphonic guitar synthesizer. The tracking algorithm is based on the blindingly fast analog pitch tracker of the Roland GR-300.' Scroll down and you will find 'Guitar Synthesizer'.ģ) How to set up your software: As Mark notes, this is a 'monophonic guitar synthesizer that processes audio input from an electric guitar.

Notes on the Native Instruments GSynth2 (Guitar Synthesizer) created by Mark Smart:ġ) The GSynth2 is monophonic: The GSynth2 ensemble works for one string only, so you will need to open six instances of Gsynth2 to create apolyphonic guitar synthesizer.Ģ) Where to find the GSynth2: It is not in the Reaktor user library, but you can find the Native Instruments Reaktor ensemble on Mark Smart's page dedicated to Reaktor: I've got reaktor as part of Native Elements, can I import such a script/instrument? Really super! I like that! Thanks for posting! It will address MIDI input, setting up oscillators, envelopes and. Quote from: Guitarpolson on January 24, 2013, 02:40:33 AM This is the introduction video to building a synthesiser in Reaktors Primary environment. The tune is 'Waltz' by Ferdinando Carulli, I did the performance in one pass, it is a painfully simple classical guitar composition, but had a lot of fun with manipulating the sounds in Reaktor: To do this demo, I used my GK Expander breakout box, then ran the output into six inputs (one per string) of a MOTU 2408. With a little work you can create something that exceeds the power of any commercially made guitar synth. are from the Reaktor tools, so it can easily be expanded to incorporate the stunning range of multi-mode oscillators, filter, etc. I used the Gsynth ensemble created by Mark Smart, it is modeled after the Roland GR-300 pitch detection, and it does some really outstanding guitar synthesis. While I love the VG-99, Reaktor from Native Instruments has easily as much potential as the current Roland gear.
