How do I set this up direct in Reaktor? Like I do with Razor?? Can’t add to the library, is there a full version of this Nord Synth?

Hey what's up, this sounds great, is there a way how to automate any of the parameters in Ableton? I'm having no luck with mapping anything. Reaktor 6 / Live 9

Tom - just to add to my comment about the sustain pedal clipping. I experimented a bit, and looks like it only clips when in Poly mode. In both Legato and Mono modes, sustain pedal works properly. Thx & best.. B

I seem to be having an issue using the sustain pedal with this ensemble. Every time I press the sustain pedal, it clips the CPU meter in Reaktor audibly clipping/interrupting the audio. I have plenty of CPU power/Memory. This isn't the issue. And I've tested other ensembles in Reaktor. This sustain pedal clipping is only occuring with Nord Rack 2x. Looks and sounds amazing otherwise. Hopefully I can fix this issue and have use of the sustain pedal. Thx and best.. B

Awesome sounding synth and very close to my old nord rack. Unfortunately i can't map the semitones knob to my controller. CC 78 always moves the amp release knob. And if i try to assign another CC to the knob it won't move either

Ich bin immer eher skeptisch, was kostenfreien Kram anbetrifft, aber das Teil - einfach nur genial! überhaupt kein reaktor-typischer kalter Sound. Definitiv genial! ;) Thx für das super Teil!

Hm, einige Downloader vergaßen die Anleitung zu lesen .. bin auf dem Weg ein paar Snapshots zu kreieren. Some downloaders left the manual less to read .. I´m on the way to create some snapshot for this synth.

One of the best most complete synth of the userlib for me, big thanks.

Fixed the bug! What an awesome instrument! Long thought of buying an original, so this was an early Father Christmas for me. Thanks!!

Awesome sounds but I have trouble to understand how such a variety of sounds can be made with so few controls. Are there samples below? Like the drum kits how come each key is mapped a different sound?

I found a bug in the arpeggiator where it gets stuck when the range is turned all the way up. This can be fixed easily by going into the structure of Input > Arp > Arp > Arp >Read > Octave Range and changing the last compare module (with "4" in the lower terminal) from "=" to ">=".

when i save in FL studio project and load agen synth his tuning of patch failure, incomprehensible in what problem other synth work normally... it is certainly possible sampling but it not "iron" that with him so to romp :(

and to add synchronization of lfo and faser,comb filters... as in discovery vst that it was :D then there will be fantasy...

why you did not begin to do as in a ferrous version possibility soundings of 4 parts as in a ferrous variant? and a wheel of modulation would be by the way... in any case interesting thing))) if to use reaktor randomizer that sound at poly, mono sounds constantly only at legato... and the separate button of including of section of effects would be probably added...

retrigger in MonoMode: no bug, feature. This produces the typical mono-synth-remember-jan-hammer-trill-sound. In LegatoMode there is no retrigger.

Thank you, Sandy, I'll take a look.

Sandy Small

I noticed a bug in mono mode where if more than one note is being held, releasing a note that is not sounding causes the envelopes to retrigger. This can easily be fixed by inserting a step filter between the Select Max module and the Equal Trg core cell inside the Input->MonoPoly->Mono->MonoRetrig macro.

Yes, I was right, this is an excellent syntn, you must have spent hours getting it to look and feel right.. Thank you very much..

I just have to say again, because that wasn't enough... If you haven't downloaded this yet, DO IT! This is much better than many softsynths I've paid for. Limitless potential. This should be the highest ranked reaktor ensemble. Only downside is it's not automap friendly (yet) for me. But I can work around that slight issue because it's just so incredibly well done. Thanks Tom. I appreciate the work you've done here. Incredible!

Jim Pennington

Thanks for your comment. This ens can't do midi learn. If you want to know about alternatives and other features the manual will help you.

Neil Pollard

14 years ago

Great graphics and more importantly, great sounds. The only thing is that midi learn doesn't seem to work with just this ensemble for me. Anyone else finding this?

R Ben

Outstanding Synth. However, in Reaper 3.75 (on Win.XP 32bit) I get problems: After playing MIDI notes a while on the "Nord Rack" (and changing snapshots while playing) the audio drops out and/or has artifacts. In Ableton 8 and Cubase 5, all is well. Could someone reproduce this ?

Tom Büttner

14 years ago

There is a list of midi cc's in the manual.

Paul Henry

14 years ago

Amazing sounds, but don't seem to be able to automate the pots. Is this an issue in Cubase? Otherwise spot on.

i really like these ensembles BUT ..ive had the same issue with your two ensembles : very long to loading into reaktor and its makes reaktor a bit unstable ..its the first time since a long time ago i see reaktor crashing in ableton live 8..

It seems that some patches have some problems with dc offset JUst choose 'the pulse bass ' from the basses category snapshot , tweak the cutoff while recording in an audio editor , a huge dc offset of the wavefrom Also some nasty clipping occurs when resonance it tweaked ,

Tom Büttner

I can't exactly figure out what this might be, on which presets do you notice that? The polyphony depends on the number of voices in the properties, and, if UNISON is enabled you must divide this number by two, because unison uses 2 voices for each note you play.

allan walker

Amazing synth. great set of presets too. However, I noticed a wee problem with the poly mode. Its okay up until you play 5 notes. when you press the fifth note there is a slight delay.
