[edit] Reaktor 6 wishlist

You can add features which you think are neccessay or desirable for the next version of Reaktor, just go to "edit this page".

• Thread on Reaktor User Forum
• FFT desired by all advanced instrument builders
• Send and receive SYSEX (System Exclusive). This will allow Reaktor to control hardware synths and fx. This will permit a better integration of hardware devices and total recall of hardware settings using reaktor within a daw.
• click-free switches
• direct sample loading without having to store samples in maps before
• Sample preview in sample browser window
• Record samples inside Reaktor//this can already be done//add 24 bit recording in standalone
• Ability to export sample maps as wavs & more control over maps
• Ability to connect to a mysql database for patch storage
• NRPN control assignment
• Macro Object Inheritance / Ghost Copies (i.e., changes made to one macro are made to all macros of the same type. This saves you the time of having to copy and paste 20 macros that you just edited.)
• Automatic patching to said Ghost Copies (i.e., patching a signal to an input on one macro patches that signal to all 'ghost' macros)
• Replacing macros while retaining patches to inputs/outputs that are named the same.
• More help and in depth descriptions on how to utilize event and audio tables.
• Reaktor 4 was heavily lacking in quantity of instruments, Reaktor 6 should come with a library as large as Reaktor 3's built in library. Flashy, bloated ensembles are nice, but a wider variety of functional instruments would be more useful than a 50 megabyte 2 oscillator synth.
• Macros and modules should be allowed back into the main ensemble structure view. With the Reaktor 4 update, this was disabled for the user.
• Import more audio format (rex, mp3, AAC...)
• Ability to program own modules with text code, not graphically
• Scripting Language like Kontakt 2's KSP mainly for advanced midi control
• Proper & CPU friendly midi sequencers for live use
• Proper bandlimiting at Reaktors outputs or downsample module or proper adaptation of oscs to samplerate.
• Additive resynthesis
• VST module to insert e.g dedicated efx
• New oscillators that have a fuller, less digital sound
• Filter modules wich can be compared with other NI products. (Absynth, Kontakt etc)
• MIDI file player module
• drawable anti-aliased oscillator (absynth style)
• internal recording higher than 16bit resolution
• Trim/cut/normalize etc in sample map
• Remove the distinction between contol resolution and audio resolution so that the control signals can work in real time. This would allow for accurate pitch tracking and other wonderful things +1
• Option to disable the grid when editing the Panel.
• less cpu usage
• Optional wire clean-up
• View and compare structure using more than one window. Similarly, with the panel/interface view, separating instruments and effects into separate windows.
• Transparency for every single element (not just for mouse area)
• Tutorials & How to do Manuals
• Proper in-depth description of components/modules/etc.
• Support more languages (German / French / Spain / Russian)
