Reaktor frequently soft-crashes (about once every 30 minutes), and often requires that I re-enter my MIDI ports and MIDI filename after a crash. It's really irritating to have to wait for 5 to 30 seconds for the dongle to do it's thing every time I want to save an ensemble. The dongle wreaks havoc with my file system making it hard to tell when a file is actually saved so that I know I can continue using my computer. Reaktor uses a dongle, and I SWEAR I will never use a program with a dongle again. Reaktor has turned my synthesis hobby into work. I have not used Reaktor since last month, because I have too many bad memories. Although you can theoretically do many things in Reaktor, it’s just not worth the effort. I was really psyched when I bought Reaktor, but after several months of owning it, my opinion has soured. Hopefully, version 4, which should be released in a few months, will be a MAJOR improvement. I’d summarize it as buggy, slow, frustrating and badly documented … and I regret buying it.

I'm using Reaktor version 3.0.5, in the standalone version, without external MIDI software, using Windows 98. I'll add some more stuff when I get the chance soon. this is the ultimate s/w synth I'd say for 'synthesis'.Īnyways. if you just want to make some music, Reaktor loads up banks of superb sounds for all your Ferry Corsten analohgs to Kraftwerk & 80's synth electro heaven!. like a 'wall of synth' type synth you see in 'ye Olde Aanalog' websites.īut don't let that put you off. with masses of sources & destinations, modulators. some of the synths are breathtakingly beautiful. from complexed wave shaping & filtering devices (loads Akai sample disks) to superb renditions of Korg MS & Roland Juno style classic VA's. Anyways, Reaktor works by allowing you to build synths out of objects wired together on screen (with tons of superb presets available & big online libraries & user groups) - These synths can be arranged into 'ensembles' - groups of sound generating devoices with various midi arrangements. now it's all of these and more such as Pro-tools & MOTU compatible. I will add a review but basicaly for the uninitiated, Reaktor has been around for a while, since it was a stand-alone, before VSTi's & DXi's. This then is the listing for REAKTOR - VSTi as usual I couldn't wait to get it cos their stuff truly rocks!. I have Reaktor 3 - Native-Instruments kindly sent us an NFR copy. Native Instruments Reaktor 3 I'm adding Reaktor into the listings because it's gotta be in as it's well overdue (besides, Reaktor has already been a classic for years as a stand-alone.
