Tutorial series on sequencing in Reaktor

[~Pd~]

Here is a series of short articles (and a couple of screencasts) describing the structure of a simple value-sequencer in Reaktor. The sequencer can be used to drive percussion, to modulate values like an LFO or can even be modified to hold pitch data. I recently added the final article in the series, so here are the installments in order.

Part 1 - introduction
Part 2 - the X+ module
Part 3 - the event table
Part 4 - the snap array
Part 5 - the mouse area

I think it's a pretty good introduction to wrangling events on the primary level in Reaktor. Some people have jumped right in and started building with the sequencer macro.

Also check out the clock demo to get a handle on how the clock macro drives the sequencer.

Hope this is helpful!

thanks for doin this :-)

wow, for some reason these are syncing in ableton live! i've never gotten my own sequencers (very similar designs based on the event table tutorial) to get even close to syncing. maybe it's just that i haven't tried since the latest updates. in any case, thanks!

Thanks for checking it out, guys. I appreciate the feedback.

gzifcak - really? Oddly enough I didn't test this in Live at all. I'll have to install it again and test this in it.

also, really nice mixer in that ensemble. i love the visual xy pan/level control.

you made freshmaker, right? i'm just starting to notice all of your contributions that i've really benefitted from. freshmaker is a great tool, i'm about to try to synchronize it. also i like your color schemes a lot. i think fun interfaces make a huge difference.

[~Pd~]

Yeah I made freshmaker. I deliberately didn't quantize the sequence length because I like things to drift organically when you have a few of them going at the same time. But it's pretty easy to mod it to have a definite sequence length. Let me know how that turns out. I will be touching on freshmaker in an upcoming screencast.

If you like the color schemes you can copy them from one instrument to another using the "save as custom" and "set to custom" instrument properties.
