Yeah agreed that this sounds like a task for Reaktor. Seeing as you don't know what exactly you want to make, you should experiment in Reaktor and when you know what you want to make into a real plugin, get into the AU/VST side of things.

MUCH easier said than done, of course, but it's kind of what Reaktor is for. I mean, really, you could probably just leave it in Reaktor. Lots of good stuff on that platform.

Oh.... oh wow. Ok, so I've heard the name Reaktor over the years, but never REALLY looked into it. So, based on your post and others, I'm checking it out now, and :stare:

:stare:

Yeah, this is it. This is what I want.

I think I was getting it confused with that hardware box that I can't remember the name of, but it starts with an R, and you can (if I understand it correctly) load up various modules and plugins through it, because they all use the same physical interface. gently caress, it's driving me nuts that I can't remember what it's called. Anyway, I thought that was Reaktor, and holy poo poo, am I glad to be sorted out now.

This is definitely going on my mental list of audio software, maybe it'll be #1. Incredible. Thanks, all! :toot:

EDIT: Yeah, I'm 99% sure I'm thinking of Receptor

I believe some of the synths NI sells are just skinned Reaktor patches, so you can definitely go a long way with Reaktor (or Max).

Oooh, I just learned of NI's Form, which is what I've sort of been looking for (a sample-based synth that's not Alchemy, because I don't have Logic X.... yet). Anyone use it?

Razor & The Finger aren't even reskinned, they just run in Reaktor ala Kontakt libraries. You install Reaktor Player with them. Can't be mad, Reaktor is powerful as gently caress and I'd have it installed either way.

I haven't but if you're in Ableton look into getting the Max4Live Granulator, it's not exactly what you're after but still provides lots of soundfuckery.

All of ni's new instruments and some of the FX released for the past 5 or so years are Reaktor built, it's just the mainstream FX and older stuff that are standalone plugins.

There's also Synthedit, at http://synthedit.com/ - it's been around for quite a while. I've never really looked into it myself, but tons of the free VSTs on sites like http://www.vst4free.com/ were made with it.

It looks like there's a beta version that does 64 bit plugins, although it can't use 32 bit modules. I've never actually used it, though, so I can't really comment.

So im fairly close to pulling the trigger on a Komplete 11 crossgrade (From maschine/Komplete Kontrol) - But i'd end up with a few duplicates.

Reaktor 6 (crossgrade version)
Razor
Skanner XT
The Mouth

Is anyone here interested in either of these, via license transfer?

edit: for sale, if that wasnt obvious, goon prices of course.

I'd be interested in everything except Reaktor 6 (already got it), I think. I need to double check to make sure I don't already have Skanner XT (may have picked it up with a holidaytime GC in a year previous or similar), but even if so, Razor and The Mouth are on my list, and I didn't grab them during the recent sale.

Shall I check and get back to you?

No, the crossgrade licenses allow you to upgrade the limited versions that come with maschine/kontrol into the full fledged Komplete application, you need to own one of those first.

So.. anyone interested has to own one of those two

If you're like me and have at least one U-he product, you got an announcement today about the release of their new synth Repro-1.

Sounds pretty sweet and is only $99.

They mention it's been 5 years since DIVA was released, and so I now feel even older....

Try updating to the latest version of 7zip (assuming you're on PC), they might be using a more recent compression type than your system can interpret

Took forever to open the file on Windows 10, but other than that working fine on both Mac and PC.

Xpand! 2 is also up for $1 again. The interface is pretty ugly but other than that it's a great rompler for bread & butter sounds.

I fooled around with Softube Modular, and it was fun for what it is but it was a crazy resource hog, and the gobbler app by itself would chew up like a quarter of my ram (at the time).

So it kinda sucks, even when it does work.

You can do some crazy robot farting with this thing, the LFOs (and step sequencer!) go into audio range, the filter itself sounds great and the modulation opportunities are also very neat. I'm having a blast with this thing and now I want to put it on everything :allears:

Sorry it too me so long to get back to you on this. It turns out I have Skanner XT, so I don't need that, but I'm still interested in Razor and The Mouth. However, I don't think I have any of the crossgrade items above. I do have Maschine (specifically: "MASCHINE incl. Komplete Elements" and "MASCHINE MIKRO incl. Komplete Elements"), but I haven't upgraded that to Maschine 2 yet. I've been thinking about doing that anyway though, so the question now is would I need to upgrade to buy Razor and The Mouth from you, or not? Let me know either way.

Good question. The Komplete Kontrol/Maschine package now is called Komplete Select, not Elements. But according to my order history both the mouth and razor are listed as being full versions - while reaktor 6 lists as crossgrade. If the system is at all logical it shouldn't be a problem but its impossible to be sure. Just let me know what you wanna do, yeah?
