digit 8
Bytebeat synth for Reaktor
DESCRIPTION
Digit8: Generative fractal music at its finest.. or at least it's chipiest!
Version 2.4---------------------
After a recent comment (thanks adrien), I discovered that Ableton's trigger mode button bug is still an issue - I don't use ableton live, so was none the wiser.
This version is an attempt to workaround by switching over to gate mode buttons. Ableton Live users please report back in the comments if this fixes the double press issue. Please also report if this new version causes any other issues.
Version 2.3:--------------------
*Finally got around to fixing some bugs that happened with more recent versions of Reaktor. The colours of the cursor and error indicators are back to normal (it was bugging me)
If you find any other bugs, or have suggestions, please leave a comment - or if you just like Digit8 :)
* I've added a handful of new snapshots here and there in the banks
New in version 2.2:-------------------
* B view now has a visualisation screen. This shows the fractal structure of bytebeat music and also displays the realtime waveform.
* Some new patches
New in version 2.1:-------------------
*You can now use multiple instances of digit8 in the same ensemble without the expression editing process freaking out.
*Negative numbers now work in arrays. For some reason I forgot to implement them in version 2.0. This makes a big different when creating an array of masks, because in binary small negative numbers are mostly 1s!
-------------------------------------------
This is version 2 of my Bytebeat for Reaktor module.
New features include:
Improved audio quality
syntax checking
Ternary operator
Arrays
Comparison operators
logical operators
binary NOT
4 line display
parameter value display
portamento
clock synchronisation
switches now dragable
There will be bugs. Please post bug reports here or in the Reaktor forum.
If you enjoy this, please post a comment in the UL, and upload some snapshots as well.

Apologies to Jim Hurley and Bernd Keil who uploaded some great patches for version 1. Unfortunately, they won't be directly compatible, so the expressions will need to be typed in again by anyone who wants to use them in the new version. I hope that this will not be a problem in any future versions as I have switched to ascii based input.
