New Version of Reaktor on the Way
It's been years since Native Instruments' jack-of-all-trades synth/drum machine/sampler/sequencer/effects creation software had had an update, and online speculation has been rampant over whether we'd ever see an update.
Good news for those waiting came in the form of a post on the Native Instruments forum announcing the upcoming Reaktor 5.5, a free update that will add many new features, while refining others. Here's what it will offer so far:
• New and improved features:
• Additive synthesis capabilities (based on new "Sine Bank" module)
• Modal synthesis capabilities (based on new "Modal Bank" module)
• Instruments can now be loaded as ensembles and vice versa
• Revised one-window GUI with flexible "split" view
• Unified interface layout for standalone and plugin operation
• New full-screen view in standalone mode
• New "structure bookmarks" feature
• Improved instrument header, properties and sample map editor
• Improved audio player with browser integration, drag&drop and auto-mode
• Improved preset handling with bank list and "snapshot master" function
• Global master volume controls for audio input and output
• Improved functionality of send/receive modules
• Audio I/O channels increased to 40 in standalone mode
• Improved handling of audio I/Os and ports
• Improved auto-save in plugin mode
• Improved sample rate conversion
• New "Lazerbass" monophonic additive synthesizer by Mike Daliot
• All ensembles from Electronic Instruments I + II now included
• Additional keyboard shortcuts
• New "application reference" manual with integrated tutorials

This is so amazing!! I'm so glad it's a free update.
Can I get an Amen?
@ bb - Yes, of course, but you have to chop it up and rearrange it in Reaktor like all the other drum n' bass heads. haha
Tom do you recomend Tassman? It now costs 99$ on a summer deal. I love Reaktor too!
looks a LOT like Circle.
wonder if they bought it.
