Speaking of audio, you can easily build Blocks effect chains to process incoming audio.Audio rate filter modulation? Yes indeed. This is fun and encourages experimentation. You can plug anything in anywhere. It allows audio rate modulation of parameters.And the ease of adding and connecting blocks will help casual users discover those depths. There’s deep potential lurking under the simplicity. Compared to building your own instrument, even using stock macros, this is a lot simpler… deceptively simple, perhaps. Did I mention that it sounds awesome? The oscillators and filters in this package are among the best I’ve heard. It sounds awesome! Blocks comes not only with its own new and great sounding modules but borrows bits and pieces from Monark, Rounds and Driver.Blocks is exciting for a number of reasons. The update is now available to Reaktor 6 users from Native Access.The big wow-factor in R6 is Blocks, which is a set of synth modules implemented as connectable units on the instrument level, mimicking the style and functionality of hardware modular gear. Added: Context Menu for Device Types “Instrument / FX” to the Rack File Drop Down Menu in Header.Fixed: Crashes on Core Structure Navigation.This issue occurred specifically with REAKTOR instruments like FORM. Fixed: Accessibility of presets via the toolbar.Added: Dedicated NEW.nksr Rack file to the Library folder of the application.Added: “Load new Rack” entry to the Preference “On startup”.As the Rack format is relying on referenced files, a new error message guides users how to fix issues via Native Access, or the installation of 3rd party content. Changed: Handling of missing instruments.Removed: Context menus for panel and structure view in Rack mode.The sample editor is showing only relevant options / functions, as the sample map editor in Reaktor Player. Changed: The sample map editor in Rack mode.Improved: “Extended view” in Maschine & Komplete Kontrol enables panel patching.Removed: The option to “minimize” instruments and to switch A/B view via the header in Rack mode.If the Rack file is not loadable due to missing instruments referenced in the file, the host chunk will be preserved to be applicable after fixing installation. Changed: Behaviour in case of loading a project with non applicable host chunk.Added: Consistency for file and project name in Rack mode.Fixed: Automation ID issue: when deleting a Block the Automation IDs don’t get auto compressed, but keep their original ID.Added: Coloured wires – eight different colours are available to distinct wires in a patch.Properties are now reduced to Midi in and out Settings on the connect tab and the bankchain settings on the function tab. Removed: Unnecessary properties in Rack Mode.Changed: color theme and design of structure view. Removed: breadcrumb navigation and Bookmarks bar. Changed: Design of the structure view in Rack mode.Additional toggle switch for “Show Structure”. Four new buttons in the header now allow for switching between view states “Compact”, “Ports only” and “Ports and Wires”. Improved: Design of the interface in Rack mode.Added: Global switch from A to B view for all instruments at once in Ensemble mode.Added: New font “Roboto Condensed Light” for the text module.Added: Min width and height properties for instruments and macros.Changed: Text module “view” properties default state.Added: Visual representations of the audio in and out terminals on panel, supporting up to 40 ports.The ports can now also have a user-defined image. Added: “Visible on/off” property for terminal ports.Added: Quick Search on Panel for convenient browsing in Rack mode.Added: Patching on panel for Reaktor Full and Reaktor Player users in Rack mode. The new file format is specifically suited to the Blocks framework, and allows to save patches, including the wiring, in a very small file size to enable saving patches with the host chunk. Added: New file format, called “Rack”.The Blocks framework now also runs in free Reaktor Player, and is open for 3rd party products. Most remarkable new features: new file format, called “Rack” file, allows to save patches with your DAW session, patching Blocks is now possible on panel and a search box makes browsing for Blocks more intuitive. This update provides a fully overhauled user experience for the Blocks framework. Native Instruments has released version 6.3 of Reaktor, introducing a new Rack file format which supports front panel Blocks patching.
