Basic Reaktor Synth - Beta 2

SpaceWalker wrote:real quick question: What if we use our computer's typing keyboard rather than a midi keyboard? Doesn't seem to be playable in the standalone version, but works with reaktor inside of FL Studio, at the least, eh.... Any quick solutions?

reaktor does not allow you to use the keyboard as flstudio does.

@ 8:32... bubbles are PERFECT!

agree

@ 11:20, when you add the second oscillator, would you explain "WHY?" we're doing this???

I dont see the need for this. Just prepares the synth for later programming... I quess you can put that in a bubble.

@ 12:30, you named them "Osc1" and "Osc 2" I'm just being 'picky'....

As Mark is...

@ 12:40, bubble "mixer to mix the output of the two oscillators together" or something along those lines....

Question: @ 12:50, you add a AmpMixer. What's the difference between this and Stereo Amp Mixer?

Ones mono, ones stereo?

Question: @ 13:35-45, when you have the two oscillators' signals mixed into the mixer, it automatically adjusts itself to receive an additional input. Couldn't you have had the filter module do the same thing instead??? Or is this the specific function of(reason why we use) the mixer? Mention this, perhaps...

I believe that mixer module allows you to create level controls. Mabey to much for a beginner vid?

@ 13:45-14; Can you just remove this 'fussiness'?

I like when Mark does his thing...

@ 15 minutes, it becomes apparent to me (only because I just asked the question), that the mixer gives you the ability to change 'levels' of the incoming channels. Perhaps the filter wouldn't let me do this??????

Yes

@ 16:16 - bubble, "Setting up the Filter Cutoff"

perhaps, at the appropriate times, you could bubble stuff like, "setting up the oscillator, setting up the second oscillator, setting up the mixer, adding level controls to the individual oscillator channels," etc........ That might make this already clear video even more clear and perfect for dummies!

Neutral on this.

@ 16:50, I noticed the ADSR envelope has got two outputs???? What's that all about? why? How is that utilized\useful? Also, in your example, does it matter which out I connect to the filter? You use the first Out. Can I use the second one instead? Does something different happen, then?

Ones an event output and one is an audio output. An event output port can be connected to audio input ports as well as event input ports, but an event input port cannot process audio signals. (without a conversion.) So its best to leave the event outputs reserved for that purpose. Correct me if im wrong.

Question: @ 17:50, when you connected the noise pitch to all of the pitch controls of everything, why didn't you connect it to the pitch control of the ADSR envelope of the filter's cutoff?

I think you need note pitch (not noise pitch). I did on mime... Mabey mark forgot or does not want to explain that right now???

@ 22:20 onwards. I'm sure some people will find the customization options worthwhile, eh...

Out of all the videos I've seen so far, I've enjoyed setting up reaktor the MOST! I feel like I've learned a lot! I'm real happy!
