REAKTOR overview

REAKTOR gives you over 70 included instruments and effects and even lets you create your own -- a limitless sonic playground for your imagination.

The first platform to bring modular synthesis to the computer, REAKTOR is a true creative playground. Its modular design lets you customize the over 70 included instruments and effects or create your own. And a vibrant community of builders has created over 3000 instruments and effects to download free.

REAKTOR comes loaded with more than 70 ready-to-use instruments and effects. From synthesizers, grooveboxes, and sequencers to sample transformers, sound generators, and effects -- REAKTOR delivers nearly any synthesis, sampling, and effects technique you can imagine. Start tweaking your instruments and effects with one click. Combine two separate synths by simply wiring them up. Change the look of instruments by adding individual control elements. Or go deeper and replace oscillators and filters, add a sequencer, or create completely new instruments from scratch. Let your imagination run wild -- no matter what sonic tool you dream up, you can build it with REAKTOR. Copy and paste specific parts of an instrument from the Factory or User Library to use it in your own instrument. Or create your own modules from scratch on the Core Level.

Works WAY better on a Quicksilver w OS X 10.4.5 then previous versions. So much more stable, and takes up less CPU. Also, it works alot better with my M-audio Ozone drivers then it used to.

version 4. 1 . 3 is much more stable for OSX Panther. still could use some more mac optimizations, they say its altivec optimized but it doesn't seem so (runs just as fast standalone as it does in a non-altivec host like Ableton Live). if you don't want to do alot of Building (and alot of people don't) save your money and get Reaktor sessions and pilfer the user library or grab Electronic Instruments Vol.2 its all very powerful and worth the buck but if you're not into brewing your own then just go with Sessions.
