Reaktor Changelog

What's new in Reaktor 6.4

Jul 24, 2020
  • User Blocks in Racks:
  • You can now use User Blocks in Racks, including Blocks downloaded from the REAKTOR User Library, or your own creations. The following functionality has been implement to facilitate this:
  • Users of the full version of REAKTOR 6 can load User Blocks into Racks.
  • Users of REAKTOR 6 Player can load User Blocks into Racks, however User Blocks will run in Demo mode and be muted after 30 minutes.
  • User Blocks are stored in the Rack file with a reference to their file path. Missing User Blocks are displayed when loading a Rack and can be relocated.
  • The User Block directory enables sharing of Racks between users. User Blocks located in the same relative path within the User Blocks directory are automatically detected when loading a Rack.
  • User Blocks located in the User Block directory are accessible directly in the Library tab of the REAKTOR Browser, and can be found using the search box in a Rack.
  • The location of the User Blocks directory can be changed in the Preferences.
  • Updated Blocks documentation:
  • The documentation about Blocks has been updated and expanded in the new REAKTOR Blocks Manual document. It includes extensive information about workflows and features related to patching with Blocks in Racks and Ensembles, as well as comprehensive reference sections de- tailing all possible connections, signals, and controls.

New in Reaktor 6.3 (Jul 24, 2020)

  • REAKTOR Racks:
  • You can now patch with REAKTOR Blocks in the new Rack format. Racks facilitate analog-style modular synthesizer patching. In a Rack, you can arrange, connect, and control Blocks directly in the Panel. The patch is also mirrored in the Structure, allowing you to choose your preferred patching workflow. All settings including the arrangement of Blocks and the connections made be- tween them are saved and recalled with your host sequencer project (host chunk saving).
  • Panel Ports:
  • Ports of Instruments and Macros can now be made visible and used on the panel. This way you can add modular-style patching to your Instrument.
  • Switching Views for Multiple Instruments:
  • You can now switch between the A and B view of all Instruments contained in an Ensemble at the same time. This is useful for switching between views with and without Ports on the panel, for ex- ample.
  • Borders:
  • The borders at the edges of an Instrument panel can now be adjusted. This way you can define how close panel elements can be placed to the edges.
