Reaktor 6 is great, the Blocks are a brilliant entry point into modular synthesis. Loads of new user-created Blocks available free on the reaktor library site too.GurtTractor wrote:May be worth keeping an eye out for sales, plugin sales always seem to pass me by. If anyone hears of any nice discounts do tell. Reaktor 6 looks pretty tasty, the "Blocks" modular stuff looks great, nice compromise between straightforward knob twiddling and mind boggling routing. The sound samples on the site are really doing it for me too. I can get the educational version for £89 which seems pretty good for the amount of stuff you can do with it. Only thing is I'm not sure if I can get patches or reinstall on a new PC at a later days te with an Edu licence..
A friend who has a modular synth pointed me at this handy guide created by the Muff Wiggler forum, which translates to Reaktor very nicely – The Book of Bad Ideas – http://bit.ly/1oz2zaIGurtTractor wrote:Cool, thanks. I've applied for educational status so I've just got to wait for a bit then I can get it half price. Looking forward to mangling some sounds.
