Sweet! Thanks for this. Now the question is FM8 or Reaktor?

The funny part is that I just got Komplete 5/6 a few weeks ago, so I just sold my individual boxed versions of some of these synths that I already had for almost the same price as this sale.

Personally, I'd suggest FM8 if you want something for pure music-making. I've only had Reaktor for a few weeks, but it's so deep that I can already see that it's too easy to get caught up fiddling with sounds and ensembles for hours on end and not making any music. Or, maybe I'm just too undisciplined.

Well what intrigued me about Reaktor was its effects possibilities. I already have a fairly big library of available sounds, but FM8 seems to be very popular. I really need both, but I can only get one.

bought reaktor for 99EUR. hope its a little cooler than ableton intro is nah abletons cool too. damn the software list i have now is getting big:

ableton live 8 intro
propellerhead reason 4
propellerhead record
logic express 8
native instruments reactor

should be able to make something soon. still almost no vsts.

so wtf? how does this stuff work? i cant find any sequencer not can i get any sound out of it lol. i hope this isnt a VST that i need to put inside logic or ableton? thought it was a stand alone.

You have to open up one of the pre-made modules (or create one of your own) for it to make sound.

Thanks for the heads up mate

I have FM8, Massive, Battery 3 so purchased Reaktor. A bit silly not to at that price.

It's not a sequencer - it's more like an environment for creating and combining effects and synthesizers. It works in both standalone mode or as a VST, RTAS, or AU in your DAW.
