Reaktor Animated Circuits Soundpack, Free Reaktor 5 Spiral Download Available

Spiral, the far-out sequenced Reaktor synth we saw earlier this week, is now available free to Reaktor 5 users. Just fire up Service Center, and download! We’ll have more on how it works soon.

Native Instruments has also announced the larger context for Spiral. It’s part of a new Soundpack called Animated Circuits, which adapts some of the best sequenced, mutating Reaktor ensembles for use with Kore. Since it’s a Soundpack, you don’t need either Reaktor or Kore to use it; it’ll run easily in Kore Player. That said, you’ll miss out on Spiral’s groovy interface – you’ll just get the sounds.

Reaktor users will want to pass on this one; you get Spiral free, and the other ensembles are already in Reaktor - SpaceDrone, Metaphysical Function, Skrewell, and Newscool.

But if your appetite for strange, alien Reaktor ensembles hasn’t been entirely sated, never fear: we’ve got more coverage of this coming.

Spiral wouldn’t open in Reaktor 5.1.

Downloaded the update to 5.1.5. Reaktor went back to Demo mode… Now NI wants another registration.

Boo.

Really? I’ve been hearing these authorization problems. When I re-ran, it did NOT eat an authorization, so you might try that. I think this is a remnant from when they switched to the new Service Center system. My experience has been, once you get that running, no more troubles.

But seriously, if you do run into trouble, please do two things:

1. Describe exactly what happened and let us know here. (We DON’T represent NI, but as fellow NI-using musicians, happy to keep tabs and help you however we can.)

2. DO contact NI support; if you lose an authorization you own, they can and should fix that.

AFAIK Metaphysical function was only available freely under a locked, standalone instrument (I think NI called it an Xmas gift to the community).

If it is in the user Library I would love a link, as have been after the ensemble for ages ;)

Deciever B13 and drohnworks, the ‘Metaphysical Function’ referenced is the one from Electronic Instruments 2 and is a purchased product. The original ‘Christmas present’ MF was somewhat different internally (and less tweakable) and is found in your product downloads updates. NI has tied all of these ‘freebies’ to those ‘verified’ as owners of R5 so i don’t think there is any option to redistribute outside of their download channels.

btw, there wasn’t a specific Sound Pack post before but I posted a link elsewhere of a quick tour of ‘Animated Circuits’ , find the ‘tour’ here:

Mainly the new MF patches so far.

“But if your appetite for strange, alien Reaktor ensembles hasn’t been entirely sated, never fear: we’ve got more coverage of this coming.”

That’s what I like to hear :)

Btw, I own the full version of Reaktor but have quite enjoyed the new patches in ‘Animated Circuits’, especially as a ‘kick start’ to setting them up for the XY sound variations. Of course I myself am a hungry freak for anything Reaktor so couldn’t resist.

Another ‘Spiral’ idea, I am going to set up a MIDI ‘Note to CC’ transformer in Logic and try it’s output as controller data for various parameters.

In addition to “Electronic Instruments 2″ Metaphysical Function is included with the “Best of Reaktor V.1″ Kore Soundpack. The ensemble is included along with the Kore Sounds, the ensemble gets installed in a weird place (for my config at least).

In order to open the ensemble in Reaktor I had to copy the Metaphysical Function ensemble (as well as Titan, Limelite and Photone) from “\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Reaktor\IELibrary\Electronic Instruments Vol.2″ and Vol.1 to \Program Files\Native Instruments\Reaktor\Library\Electronic Instruments Vol.2″ and Vol.1 (on Windows obviously).

OK. I give up.

I’ve downloaded and installed the Reaktor 5.1.5 update. Where is Spiral?

Never mind. Found it. It’s available through the NI support website updates. Not through the NI Service Center Updates.

All Registered users of Reaktor 5 can download Spiral from the NI Support website updates AND the Service Centre. In the Service Centre, it should be on the Downloadable Files Page.
