DESCRIPTION

!!!IMPORTANT!!! This is an interfaceless Reaktor Ensemble with a Liine Lemur template for the iPad. IT DOES NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT LEMUR!

Have you ever wanted a simple yet effective drum sequencer with a touch interface that let you sequence beats in a 16x12 grid without too much nonsense? Ever wanted a way to easily switch between rows of your drum kit in Battery 4 with single touch? Ever felt like you are clicking hundreds of times just to make the velocity of your notes sound right in your rigid DAW sequencer which isn't designed for a fast beat making workflow?

Enter Classic Drum Machinex16, a combination of Lemur and Reaktor with one purpose: No nonsense 16x12 drum sequencer specifically geared towards modern octave based drum VST instruments. Sequence your beats in the grid and then assign them one of four velocity sequences which can be drawn via touch.

The reason Reaktor is used instead of native Lemur step sequencer is because many hosts have difficulty with external MIDI clocks. Reaktor ensures that the step sequencer will not glitch out or get out of sync due to a buggy host MIDI implementation.

Instructions:

1. Load the Reaktor ensembles and go to File -> OSC Settings.
2. For "OSC Receive" Receiving port I recommend choosing 10000 (default)
3. Check "Activate" to make sure Reaktor is listening for the OSC messages.
4. In "OSC Send" tab configure Reaktor to send to your tablet (usually at port 8000)
5. Enable editing on the ensemble, open the connect property of "OSC Send Step"
6. Send it to the Lemur connection you setup in step 4.
7. Load the module into your Lemur template
8. Configure Lemur to send OSC traffic to Reaktor's IP address and port you chose.
9. In the "SwitchesSeq" object, set osc_num to the number OSC send you used for Reaktor. Note this is 1 by default, not 0. If these numbers do not match the template WILL NOT WORK.
10. Enjoy making some beats!

OK. Workaround is to run a constant of Reaktor externally. Import Ens. and follow instructions a written. Use Virtual Midi [0] from Maschine to Reaktor for Beat Sync. Virtual MIDI [1] from instrument to Maschine instrument. Kind regards for this patch! I'll make a tune in your honour.

Hey! Thanks for your work! Is anyone using this in Maschine? Config Lemur > Reaktor VST > Battery 4? Receiving and sending both OSC. MIDI data feed from Reaktor out but no input Note data to Battery. Hoping someone can shed some light.

Hi, I am new to Reactor and Lemur. I did not understand steps 7 - 9. There was no Lemur Template included in the Download. Can you please explain this more detailed ? Thank You

Updated to 1.0.1 fixing an issue where the current octave was not sent to the drum machine on startup and making it easier to configure Reaktor's OSC send back to Lemur for display of the current step.

Added some more detailed instructions incase it is not working for anyone. Just to be clear, a Reaktor user interface is not included. This was designed from the ground up to be used from a touch interface from Lemur.
