Reaktor scratch ensemble
Michael O’Hagen demonstrates his scratch ensemble for Reaktor.
Reaktor Sampler Pack
Peter Dines of Reaktor Tips has released the Reaktor Sampler Pack, a collection three granular sampling instruments for Native Instruments Reaktor.
Reaktor Sampler Pack
- Frame 2, a simple looping sampler designed for live control of loop points and other parameters.
- Loupe, a polyphonic looping slicer for quickly mapping arbitrary (that is, non-beatsliced) sections of a sample to different MIDI keys.
- Mirage, a granular sampler inspired by the music of Tim Hecker, Peter’s laziness, and his disorganization (those are Peter’s words…).
Frame 2 is available as a free download, Loupe and Mirage are $15 USD each. A bundle of Loupe and Mirage is available for $22.50 USD until the end of February, 2011.

New in Reaktor 5.5
The comprehensive and free 5.5 update¹ sees REAKTOR build on its past successes and add a number of exceptional new features as well as a stunning new instrument. The revamped and streamlined user interface makes using and creating instruments easier and more intuitive. Two new synthesis techniques – modal and additive – open up new sonic territory for the creation or modification of instruments. Lazerbass, a brand-new synthesizer from the makers of MASSIVE, is the first instrument to take advantage of the new additive synthesis module and is included in this update. Also included are the 15 instruments and effects from previous products REAKTOR ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTS Vol. 1. and 2. Many other improvements and enhancements make using or creating instruments easier and more inspiring than ever before.

Zapping through some Reaktor presets
Some quick run throughs in Reaktor coming your way
I was very surprised when I found out that Native Instruments had reanimated the well known Electronic Instruments XT bundles (1 + 2). Those instruments – based on the Reaktor engine – run as a standalone app and a VSTi as well. A couple of yeras ago NI discontinued the developement and sale and since then these bundles were hardly missed. Now they’re part of Reaktor 5.5! THX a lot for that, NI!
What I still miss in Reaktor is the DSQ32 drumsynth/sequencer. It was part of Reaktor4 and in my opinion it is still one of the best sequenced drum synths ever! It is missed since Reaktor 5.0 and it never came back. Well, I still got the DSQ32.ens and fortunately it runs pretty well on Reaktor 5.5. So I made this lil’ vid.
The DSQ32 is running in realtime together w/ the sequenced synthesizer Viering (Reaktor 4) and the new Lazerbass (Reaktor 5.5). Lazerbass is triggered by the Monoliner step sequencer (Reaktor 4).
Screenrecorded w/ Microsoft Expression Encoder. It’s free, it’s damned cool but it has a 10 minutes limitation. But dang, it’s the only screenrecorder that works properly on my Win7 64bit system.
