Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If there were an audio equivalent to Legos, it would be modular synthesis. Using that model, Native Instruments' Reaktor gives you the ability to dream up and piece together your own Frankenstein synths, samplers, and effects. Reaktor sports a clean layout with a whole gaggle of knobs, sliders, and buttons. The sound quality of the demo modules is breathtakingly dense and clear. Loading up any of the modules and playing with them for a few minutes quickly gives you an idea of how versatile this program can be. It works well with a host program via VST 2.0, Audio Units, and DXi plug-ins or as a standalone application via ASIO or Core Audio. By creating objects, defining a set of parameters, then linking a whole series together, you can create a sampler, or a delay effect, or whatever you like. This is where the program shines. While Reaktor is mind-blowing, it does have a pretty steep learning curve. New users should look to Reaktor Sessions, which focuses on being a software instrument rather than a development environment for creating your own modules. Advanced users will be continually challenged by the freedom to create new and exciting sounds, though.Publisher's description
