Blocks is exciting for a number of reasons. The big wow-factor in R6 is Blocks, which is a set of synth modules implemented as connectable units on the instrument level, mimicking the style and functionality of hardware modular gear. Reaktor 6: The Next Tick of The Future of Sound Arrives

In the meantime Martin’s tool is a great shortcut Reaktor builders can use right now. I think this highlights the need for a scripting language built into Reaktor just as one is in Kontakt – the ability to address text fields from a script would overcome hours of wrist strain from laboriously entering data in MultiText modules. This is a command line tool but it’s extremely simple to use if you’ve ever run anything from a command line, ever:
#REAKTOR BLOCKS TUTORIAL UPDATE#
One is an update of his sample map builder, which now comes bundled with a built in Java runtime in the OS X version so you don’t have to fiddle around with installing and configuring a JRE.Īnother is a node.js based tool to generate Reaktor multitext macros from a text file. Now Martin has graciously shared with us a couple of other tools.
#REAKTOR BLOCKS TUTORIAL HOW TO#
User Daniel Wincott uploaded an ensemble to the user library demonstrating how to do this. Just drop it into your Blocks ensemble and use the output to drive, for example, some drum sounds. Recently he’s also uploaded a Blocks version that makes it easy to incorporate Euclidean sequences in your Blocks based ensembles: Some of you may already know Martin as the creator of this great Euclidean sequencer for Reaktor. Get Awesome Reaktor Tools by Martin Wood-Mitrovski This entry was posted in Uncategorized on Jby peterdines. I’d also like to rework the clock divider for larger divisions, and clock the controls so they change synchronously and don’t put the sequence out of time when you adjust them, necessitating a clock restart. To Do: fix the graphic display for the 96th ring, and adjust reset values higher for longer intervals between resets. Download from there, or try following the instructions above to do it yourself if you enjoy a challenge. I’ve uploaded a demo ensemble to the Reaktor user library showing a couple of beats made by dividing a 1/96 clock.

You can also activate the reset on the util clock, set to 96, but that will have the effect of setting long looping patterns to reset too quickly. If you’re using “ext” mode in the clock block, just hit option (alt) -space to restart the clock. This isn’t a bug in the 96th clock hack, it’s how the clock divider works. So will changing snaps if the divisors change. Note that changing the values in the clock divider will require a clock restart. Try different multiples of 2 and 6 as divisors to see what happens.

Triplet eighth notes are a division of the 96th clock by 8. So half notes are a division by 48, eighth notes by 12 and sixteenth notes by 6. As you might expect, a 24 ppqn clock will play quarter notes when you divide by 24. In order to divide that into musically useful timings, use a standard Blocks clock divider. …and added a couple of values to tables in the Core macros:Īnd just like that, I had a 1/96 clock. I dug down into the master clock to see how much fuss it’d be to modify and it was surprisingly easy. You have to have triplets or things won’t swing.

I miss the 1/96, 24 ppqn (pulses per quarter note) resolution of Reaktor’s MIDI timing, which makes it easy to do triplets. Blocks are great for the kind of freeform music making I like but one thing that’s bothered me is the maximum 64th note resolution of the util clock block.
