enjoy it!

(need reaktor 5 in order to work, you can download it also for free) :wink:

Yay for christmas presents from companies.

Boo for only a $30 gift card.

Downloaded it and using it as a vst in FL. Pretty cool I must say. See any tuts or vids showing it off?

What a weird concept. I’m not even really sure how to use the thing…

okay good… i’m not alone. I was just clicking buttons and the sound changes dramatically. I have no concept of what it’s doing. LOL.

it’s pretty cool though. at the very least the soundscapes and pads are worth it.

It’s a sampler where the playhead position is controlled by the interaction between 2 oscillators…which kind of just sounds like a really convoluted type of FM synthesis…but I could be wrong. I haven’t really thought about the math.

I keep getting an error message when I try and run it in Reaktor.

[insert standard debugging questions here]

[mention that I haven’t used it in Reaktor, just in the Reaktor Player hosted in Logic (though not maschine yet)]

[make a joke that Logic is still worth having just because of the caps-lock keyboard in case you’re away from your Maschine and other controllers for too long]

[say something about NI tech support]

[mention being drunk]

Man…if only I could actually script my forum posts…that’d be funny.

I looked in Service Center and it told me Reaktor was up to date I checked version numbers and it turns out I’m not. Time to make some Christmas noise and see if I can get the kids up to open their presents. :smiley:

Downloading…Thanks

Can someone explain how I am supposed to load my own sounds for it to sample?

It only works that way if you have a full version of Reaktor, which I don’t…so I can’t explain it. I’d imagine you drag an audio file into the window or that another ā€œbuttonā€ shows up in the UI if you use it with Reaktor instead of Reaktor Player.

there is a button on the top left of the reaktor window: [A] when you hit B it goes to a much more complex interface. I’d guess you could load sounds there.
I have the full version but i don’t see a button to load wavs. (not in the quick glance i just took anyway).
