Logic and midi out from Reaktor

Hi,

I apologize in advance if this conversation has been had on this forum. I searched for a long while but could not find the answer.

Chet Singer made a great ensemble called Alternate Scales. I adapted it to basically make it a just intonation machine that plays in technically an unlimited number of keys. I'd like to use the ensemble as a plugin in Logic. I would sequence normally in Logic, feed the track to Reaktor, have Reaktor spit back the pitches to another track in Logic and that track would record the midi out from Reaktor.

I feel that this should be possible, but something I read said VSTs could do this but AUs could not and that Kore was necessary. Maybe I am way off, but this should be possible, right?

I use a mac, Logic 8 and Reaktor 5. The ensemble works perfectly as a stand-alone. The question is: can Reaktor output midi data to Logic?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm pretty sure this is a limitation of AUs; I know I have to use the VST version of Reaktor in Live if I want to use Spiral to sequence something.

 

Thanks... How do I use the VST plug-in instead of the AU plug-in? I see the reaktor5.vst file in the VST folder, but it does not show up in Logic.

 

Unfortunately Logic only loads AudioUnits. In order to use VST versions of your plugins you need another host like Ableton Live.

 

or use Kore2 in Logic, which can loads VSTs and AUs.

Not quite - you can use VST wrappers like VST Lord and wire it via the IAC Bus

Wire Reaktor back into Logic via the IAC Bus and all the Midi data wil be received/recorded into Logic. Just watch the Midi Feedback and rewire your Environment->Clicks+Ports
