Reaktor tutorials

Many Reaktor users wrote different Reaktor tutorials, all of them are in different places and in different format. We have a place, where we could host all these tutorials: Reaktor Wikibook - http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Reaktor

I volunteer to do work and load these tutorials to Reaktor Wikibook, add wiki markup, format the text etc. The only thing I need is a PERMISSION of the authors to do it and publish their work under GNU license: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License . This means that the tutorial can be expanded by others, improved, and developed.

Aniel Battaglia, David Coffin, Ernest Meyer, gabriel mulzer, Peter Dines, theologiae LLC, Herwig Krass - please add response to this thread and agree to load your tutorials from User Library to Reaktor Wikibook

Also, I'm asking Chris List to agree to load his excellent Reaktor FAQ (http://www.semaforte.com/reaktor/faq.htm) to Reaktor Wikibook.

All other authors of Reaktor tutorials, manuals etc are requested to add their work or/and agree to move it to Wikibook by responding to this thread. I hope other people will pick it up as well and spend some time formatting the wiki code.

Let's go!

 

go for it. i wanted to do so myself, but have never worked with the wiki before, so i don't know how.
and also, thanks for the work. it's really great to see people putting energy into this community.

 

It's extremly easy, just look how many people edit Wikipedia - it's the same technology. I really encourage people to use Reaktor Wikibook, because you will see results of your work very fast. Even if you make a mistake - other people will correct it quickly. I started a wiki in polish language devoted to the music I like, many people were sceptic, but they learned very fast how to use it and add new content every day.

 

Be my guest, Artur. I’d love to see my tutorial added on to by others, updated, etc. Looks like a big job to convert it into a WIKI, tho...

Thank you!
OK, it's ready - here is the first shot: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Artur_Nowak/FX_Tutorial

Everybody can contribute to this effort and format this tutorial.

Waiting for next authors to agree to load their tutorials to REAKTO WIKIBOOK!

 

I'm a sound engineering student and I've been using Reaktor ensembles for quite a while, however I never programmed anything in my life. I really like the idea of constructing a synth for my final project, but I meen a rather complex one, that still uses a relatively low CPU power (3X style maybe).
I have time until august. I'm asking myself if I can do it. We study a lot, so on average, I can't devote to much time for that per day, maybe an hour.
