Hello,
I'm thinking of buying NI Komplete (currently on sale). Mainly for Reaktor 5, but also for some of the other programs included. Anyway, seeing Reaktor is a pretty steep learning curve, I was wondering whether you guys know some good patches that could point me in the right direction. Synths, samplers, effects, drum machines ... etc. I'm interested in general sound generation/manipulation, but maybe with a special interest in modelling analogue synths? Any links you guys might have would be much appreciated. Thank you for your attention, bye.

I think you have the wrong forum. For music related discussion, try watmm.

There's a whole bunch of synths uploaded by a guy called Jonathan Style in the user library that are a good starting point for analog synth building. He tends to build with Core oscillators and filters rather than primary modules, so his stuff sounds nicer. The older primary level oscs and filters have a colder sound IMHO.

You know, I raised the money to buy this and then decided to put it towards a new computer instead...
Its an awesome deal, and a good idea if you use their stuff a lot. I just find I like the sound of other stuff a lot more lately.

i recently started to work with pure data and compared to reaktor the sound is much more raw and digital - which i personally prefer. for example a simple pulse osc has much more power in pure data.

@ Taxidermist
Yes, very good deal! A bit overwhelming actually. I am familiar with FM7, Absynth 4 and have played around with Battery and Kontakt. But just keen to get into the nitty gritty with Reaktor ;)
@ Sadist
Stupid question, but what do you use to work with pure data?

I'm not crazy about the presets in a lot of NI stuff. Some of the soundpacks for Kore are awesome, though, because they don't have the NI "house style". But really, Reaktor can sound like anything.
And to get Kontakt in the deal - my god, I'd be on this instantly if I didn't already have both.
Postle: Pure Data is an open source program by the same guy who originally created Max. It's not as polished as Max MSP but you can't beat the price.

Yeah, Reaktor is great. I would just rather see some smaller companies getting my money before NI.
Plus, my music computer is shit. I wouldn't be able to do much with my current one. I am probably going to buy reaktor further down the line if I don't get sucked into max when they release their ableton integration.
Kontakt I could care less about. Its a bit too bloated for a sampler.

reaktor is pretty cool, the sound quality on some of the synths is amazing, i like messing around with the hybred synths, Kaledonien is good and green matrix, they are the classics. iv'e been using zebra allot more recently, it's additive, subtractive synthesis . really nice analogue sound . i would reccomend this to anyone wanting to learn about synthesis, because the interface is really easy to use, but it's also a powerful modular synth

i use both reaktor and zebra, but i seem to always o[pen zebra first, because i find it easier to work with

Do you have to have a registered NI product in order to download the patches from NI's site?

yes - but you could search on ebay for a cheap copy of reaktor session (it's a downstripped version of reaktor 4 where you can only launch ensembles but not edit them) and then register on the ni site and download reaktor patches. it could work with electronic instruments 2 also - search for it on the net. i won a copy of reaktor session ages ago in a remix contest and since then i can access the reaktor user content with no problem at all.
imho reaktor 5 is really worth every penny. you can clearly see the difference between it and those free software's like pure data, synthmaker or whatever. it's rock solid, works with almost every host and it has the best options for creating a nice and clear layout for your patch.
for a real show of it's sound i would recommend downloading the ensemble "synth in a case" which is a recreation of of a synthi-aks and probably one of the best sounding ensembles ever.

Might have to invest in a non-Komplete version of Reaktor 5:
"Thank you for your order of Komplete 5. Unfortunately this edition of software is no longer available and both our stores have run out of stock. Your order has not been processed and your card has not been charged. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Regards, Bella"

reaktor is actually really good for granular stuff and live sampling. Check out the user library. Tim Exile has an entire live sampling situation built up that he makes all of his tracks on, unfortunately its not available anywhere.
