DESCRIPTION

From the Tutorial intro:
"This tutorial is for beginners to Reaktor 4 (R) and anyone else who wants to explore getting the most out of the vast number of existing R effects and routing components, without the need to build new effects processors. I’ll be treating R as big box of stomp-box or rack-mounted processors, modulators and routing tools and describing how to patch, configure and control them in ways inspired by the best hardware effects. As you’ll see, doing so in R is very often more flexible and more powerful than anything you could do with hardware. We’ll be using R in standalone mode, but of course, any R effects can also be opened in VST and other plug-in hosts."

Created as an offering for Janelle Ivers' tutorial project, this document grew out of my own efforts to configure Reaktor as a multi-effects device, and it draws heavily on contributions and assistance from many kind folks in the Reaktor forums. It turned out to be too big and too peculiar for publishing on the NI website, so it should NOT be considered a useful model for anyone else composing a tutorial for Janelle and NI...
I simply wrote what I would have wanted to find when I first began to explore Reaktor effects, and I hope some other folks will also find it helpful...
Here's a (hopefully) copy-able version of the source listings for downloadable R4 FX ensembles in the pdf file:

Many thanks for your efforts. I arrived here in the hope of finding help using NI Vocoder as a plug in. What you have presented here was an amazing, inspiring distraction.

This is the best tutorial I've found for Reaktor. With a basic understanding of synthesis, signal flow and a heap of creativity this tutorial will get you the rest of the way. Knowing what the different elements are called and how to integrate them makes all the difference. I've printed the pdf off and am studying it like a textbook. Well done!

This is an exceptional tutorial, and the example ensembles are incredibly useful- both as is and as starting points for making your own fx. The scanner/distributor FX are especially cool. Thanks!

David! Wow! This is what I have been looking for! Super work! thanks to Sowari for recommending this.....I saw this posted in the past but thought it was more as a special FX type of thing and since there is a ton of stuff in the library - and not all for me or all that interesting as many others are to me - I always skipped over 0 due to my idea of what the title seemed to imply....But this is beautiful - Thank you for all of your hard work. My compliments!
