But first the 3D FX processor I planned and never finished in Reason, will be "easier".Remote operation of Nikon digital camera from a computer. It's very inspiring, though ~ I get more and more ideas how I'd create that dream sound designer synth of mine. Maybe there's something buried deeply in my mind about it, but as is, I have no clue what was going on there. Thank you for the tips! I'll especially need to reread those parts with the selectors/switches in the manual, not to mention one of the scariest part that I probably 'slept through with open eyes', which is 'iteration'. Or so it seemed to me in the step sequencer tutorial that there are tools that would count octave step-ups/downs, and in another one that there's a tool that can turn knobs and move faders. Thanks to the manuals I think it might be possible to have 1 fader that travels 1 octave a time (in cents), and once it reaches the top and we still push it with a (MIDI) encoder knob or the mouse, it would jump back to the bottom, and start the next octave. ![]() This is something I want for modulators, especially in case of FM: to be able to tune pitch with a fader. Needless to say it didn't work the way I wanted it. One time, I started testing creating a fader and connecting that to an oscillator's pitch event input. Nevertheless, it is very fascinating and definitely worth learning! So many lower and lower levels, that my "What?!" got louder and my eyes opened wider each time. But when I saw what a core, pure Sine Wave Oscillator looks like. You know, it doesn't seem that scary ~ except the more complicated math (or at least all the calculations that can happen). Once I've got this absolute minimum knowledge, then I go further to the tutorials, videos and forums out there. It also gives a flavor of what it is capable of, and what I can find and where. The manual made it clear to me, that this is exactly what I'm looking for. It has its own library, too though ~ and tools where the primary might fall short. However, reading the manual isn't so bad, cause I recognize things in core when just looking around - and what they are good for. Pretty sure the stock modules are far more optimized and stable than what I could possibly do in core, especially at this super early stage. Get comfortable with the way you set the range and resolution of knobs/faders - you'll use this a lot!Īsk questions here, there are a number of Reaktor users who are willing to share! Learn the basics of a "one - to - many" and "many - to - one" switches and selectors. I built simple things like uni-2-bi and bi-2-uni convertors, stereo gain modules (basically multipliers with 0-1 to decibel convertors), etc. Use Macros to build things you commonly use, and save them (building your personal library). If you've ever work with modular analog synths, it won't be too much of a stretch.Īlso, find all the common utility modules you'll need, like converting the 0-1 signal to pitch or frequency or decibels - very handy. Then build a simple synth - this may be humbling as you realized just how much routing is involved in even the most simple instruments. Maybe try a simple multi-FX device so you don't have too much routing involved. Both are great resources.įor videos, I find ADSR to be very useful.īut again, start by building something, anything. When you get stuck (you will), find videos and posts on the NI Reaktor forum. So start with primary modules, build something. How many times did I try to memorize Open Sound Control, until I stopped misreading!. xDĪh! Open Sound Control! Don't you even dare to say the other thing that it can be confused with. yeah this is the fly shit stage, where something sticks to the reader. Then I'll be prepared.įloating point, integer, scalar. Finally, I'll probably have to read everything a 3rd time again, and properly study/memorize everything. Then I read again and test/tutorial with REAKTOR. ![]() Oh well, my way will be first reading through manuals. What the hell are all these fibers and stuff?!! D8 I don't understand shit there, though I guess it's also cause I read that part before sleep. ![]() (The modules were a pretty enjoyable topic at the end - read those carefully.)Ĭurrently reading the Core one. I hope I'm not lying if I was with it 50% of the time. ![]() So, I understood the manuals for the basic navigation, setups and stuff in an okay way.
