![]() which was already a container for a container for a container. they introduced racks which is a container for ensembles. maybe if they did blocks the right way it would be extremely similar to reaktor 5.0 and the marketing team would have a hard time selling boring panel layouts.ĮATyourGUITAR wrote:I can confirm that reaktor has been completely ruined by blocks. they have built in mixers and switchable routing modes but they also retain the dedicated outs. there is no unified aesthetic or density. or you could just buy all the blocks expansions and never actually do anything with reaktor core. the VCO's in blocks do not have super fine tuning knob. ![]() basically, if you want to do something simple like load a distortion into your blocks rack, you need to do a whole lot of extra shit. they are proprietary coded VST stuffed into a modular program. the blocks mode does not allow looking under the hood. I can confirm that reaktor has been completely ruined by blocks. more complete, better organized, more music production related stuff. the user library is more useful out of the box. reaktor is better at being a VSTi with lots of presets. Reaktor is great at having lots of polyphony easy on the CPU if you use basic saw oscillators and basic filters. the best sounding moog filters and stuff are really heavy on CPU compared to soundtoys filterfreak for example. reaktor makes it super painful to add audio rate modulation to an existing patch that has no audio rate modulation. reaktor does not have an ableton API or an ableton GUI native. this means it is not extensible but it also means that the patching interface is unavoidable. it seems to me like there is a minimum overhead and an average performance tax because of the live patching and the high level nature of using wrappers and lots of buffers. max tends to be too CPU heavy for sampling. the memory management in ableton is about the only thing ableton does well. if I want to do a lot of sampling, I just go back to ableton. now I'm a C++ guy that hates the CPU usage of max. I was a C++ guy that hated max till I realized that it is actually a real programming language. max is super old from when computers were text based. there is procedural programming there but it is completely obfuscated in the max patcher. Right click on a max patch and open it in notepad.
