Native Instruments Reaktor

Has anyone here tried using Native Instruments Reaktor 4.0 for microtuning and if so,
what was your experience? -Justin

If you take a look in the archives of MMM you'll see a number of posts about using NI products in general, and I believe some talk about creating tuning tables for instruments created in Reaktor. It is NOT plug-and-play simplicity, and requires a fair amount of work.

NI products have varying and different support for microtuning, and part of this owes to the fact that some of the instruments were developed by other companies and then bought.

There *are* a couple of softsynths that have very flexible microtuning, but MMM is where those discussions are...

Cheers,
Jon

I had version 1.5 until I blew my licenses...
It is very easy to do alter the size of the "semitones", i.e. take a central note number and multiply the differences to other other incoming note with e.g. 12/19 (I must have the patch for it still lying around here somewhere deep down in the system). That's for ets.
It should have been to possible to remap all note numbers received to other numbers (e.g. in fifths for easy switching between meantones), or to assign them to constants (the format is centlike: the pitch of the twelve tone note number plus two decimal places - if c is 64.00, %/4 E is 67.86, and more decimal places are possible and should be truthfully computed). I never did that, because an array 128 such mapping modules a) take a lot of work and screen space and b) would have taxed my litte p2 233 box too much.

hope it helps,

and I should add: once you have done it (and find that your computer can handle it), you can save it as a module and reuse it.

please forgive the missing and doubled words and whatever other mistakes i made above; the kiddies were around.
