    This question is for everyone who has used core in R5 for a long time. If you bought R6 and did not have access to your old R5 program and libraries, would there be core macros that you would miss because they were not present in R6?

    i mainly build from scratch, but i believe many of the existing filters and oscillators were replaced in R6. at this point i can't imagine why you'd want the R5 ones though, the new ones are better.
    i can't think of anything i care about that's in R5 but not R6.

    i still have Reaktor 5 installed, so I have access to all my R5 Stuff.

    Reaktor 6 is a separate install so why remove Reaktor 5 stuff?

    Thank you for the very nice reply, @salamanderanagram . I was looking at the Reaktor 5 Core Tutorial, and the macros that looked most useful were in the part where they were building a delay. The macros which were in R5 but not R6 were from the Core Macro/Standard/Audio Mix-Amp folder, like Chain Amount and the Amount Amp. I looked but I could not find either in R6.

    @sowari - I was thinking of people who only have R6 installed and not R5, like I do on one of my computers.

    was that in one my tutorials?
    if so i could probably find the appropriate macros and attach them to the video.

    a lot of things got renamed in r6 too.

    Absolutely yes. I think that many of the R6 core macros are much more complicated than the ones in R5. While they're handy because they take advantage of things like standard bundles, they're harder to understand and I suspect some of them run slower.

    I've never uninstalled R5 so I still have access to the R5 core library. And I regularly return to things like the filters. They're textbook DSP, with nothing added to impede understandability or execution speed.
